About Me

I love all things travel, Disney and wine...three things that bring me joy!

I started my travel blog in 2018 after years of cruising and realizing that I could help family and friends not only by sharing my travels via my travel blog, but also help by helping them plan and book their voyages. This is my passion and I love sharing it with others.
