Map reading with my oldest in Boston, MA (2018)

There's nothing more magical than showing your kids the world and exploring the sights through their eyes. Traveling with children in tow requires a special amount of planning, a certain level of patience, and a high level of flexibility. By partnering with me to plan your family travel, I can help you:

  • Select the best destination, time of the year for travel, accommodations, and activities
  • Advise on passports and travel documentation
  • Help prepare the kiddos for the planes, trains or automobiles
  • Suggest a packing list so nothing gets left behind

I'd be honored to be your family's travel partner. I look forward to working with you.

Black Hills Road Trip
Reviewed By Colette - Minnetonka, MN | Traveled to Black Hills ~ South Dakota ~ USA
We did all the "normal" things people do when they're in the Black Hills: Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse Memorial, Needles Highway, Wildlife Highway, Sturgis, Wall Drug, Deadwood, etc. Obviously, most of these places are very commercialized, but, a few definitely worth seeing. I'm glad we had an "agenda" so we didn't miss any of the good stuff!

It was SO easy working with Katie on ALL the plans, etc. No matter what a pain I could be, she was on top of everything! If we go anywhere else, we definitely will be going through Bucket List!

    My Travel Stories

    Universal Studios offers fun for everyone!

    Fun for everyone at Universal Orlando!

    I recently had the great opportunity to take my children (two teen boys) to Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida! This trip was many years in the making, as I had promised my youngest that I'd take him to experience The Wizarding World of Harry Potter when he finished reading all of the Harry Potter books. He surprised me by reading MUCH faster...

    Dinner by the marina in Costa Rica

    Travel with children is never "wasted"...

    As a family travel specialist and a life-long lover of adventure, it absolutely breaks my heart when I hear someone say that travel is wasted on children since “they won’t remember it anyway”. I often hear from potential clients that “we’ll wait until they’re a little older”, “it’ll be easier when they’re out of diapers/strollers/cribs”, “they’l...

    Okay, so truth be told, I haven’t even unpacked my suitcase yet from my NY trip last week! The laundry can wait; I’m having too much fun looking at my pictures from last week’s getaway to New York City! My biggest takeaways from the Big Apple.... What in the world took me so long to come here? How soon can I get back? ...

    Graduation Trip
    For our sons solo graduation trip to Australia and Bali, we chose to work with Katie because of the stellar experiences we had with her previously. We knew she would be extremely organized and communication would be outstanding. We felt confident that she would organize the trip as if she were doing so for her own son. We appreciated Katie giving us choices as to how the trip was planned. We had a say in each detail. It was great to hear from her via email every step of the way. We liked receiving communication very regularly. Katie provided value by always making sure we were on the same page and giving us choices cost wise. It was a difficult trip to plan because we know she wanted to make sure our son had a say, but she also respected us as parents and made sure we were comfortable with the plans. He wanted to cram as much adventure as he could into 3 weeks, and she definitely made that happen. Thank you, Bucket List Travel, again for making his dreams come true!
