About Me

Expert in Family Adventures

I am proud to be a seasoned family travel specialist and co-founder of Castle Dreams Travel. I have traveled extensively with my family of five, exploring diverse destinations worldwide. From the beaches of Hawaii to the cultural wonders of Europe, I have experience in planning and enjoying family vacations. When I travel anywhere, I always try something new- a resort, place to eat, or experience. I travel to a Disney Destination, a Universal Resort, and cruise on a Royal Caribbean Cruise at least once a year and I have been very lucky to sail onboard several Disney Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean Cruise Line sailings, visited Disney's Aulani Resort and Spa, and have taken 3 very different Adventure by Disney vacations as well as multiple visits to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and Universal Orlando and Universal Hollywood Resorts. I have also sailed on Princess Cruise Line, Norwegian Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruise Line, MSC Cruise Line, and Virgin Voyages.
