When you reach out to me, you're not getting someone who pulls up the same search results you've already seen. You're getting 13 years of firsthand knowledge, resorts I've walked through, pools I've actually stood in, kids' programs I've asked real questions about.
I know which all-inclusive has a waterpark that genuinely entertains kids for a full week and which one has a single slide that'll hold their attention for about twenty minutes. I know which destinations have the calm, shallow water that works for little ones and which beautiful looking beaches have surf that's not safe for kids. I know which "luxury family resort" is actually just an adults resort that added a bunk bed option.
You don't have to learn any of that the hard way. I already know it.
Family vacations are supposed to be the good part. Not the part that takes six months of planning and still feels like a gamble.
Travel Planning
for families
What you're actually paying for isn't a booking. It's someone who already knows the answer.
what actually happens when we work together
We have a real conversation about your family, your budget, what you're hoping this trip feels like, and yes, what would make it a disaster. The more honest you are here, the better the trip turns out.
Let's Talk
I put together a short list of options that actually make sense for your family, not just places that technically allow kids, walk you through the differences, and help you land on a decision you feel good about.
I Get to Work
Once you're booked I'm already in touch with the resort making sure everything is in place before you leave. You don't have to track anything or chase anyone down. That part is mine.
Pack The Sunscreen
Fill out the inquiry form and I'll be in touch. No being handed off to someone else, just me, ready to hear what your family is looking for.
Reach Out
Most families I work with are after one of a few things, an all-inclusive in the Caribbean or Mexico where the kids are genuinely entertained and the adults can actually breathe, a Disney or Universal trip that doesn't feel like you needed a PhD to plan it, a cruise that works for everyone on board, or a Europe trip that actually feels like an experience rather than a checklist.
I've been an authorized Disney and Universal planner for 13 years, I know the Caribbean and Mexico resorts well enough to tell you which ones work for toddlers versus teenagers, and I plan cruises and European itineraries for families who want the details handled so they can just show up and enjoy it.
The destination matters less than knowing what your family actually needs from the trip. Tell me that, and I'll tell you exactly where to go.

"When we began trying to plan our first Disney vacation on our own, we were quickly overwhelmed. We immediately reached out to Kristin for guidance. Kristin asked us a series of questions relating to our trip and what was most important to us. After gathering all of the information, she went to work for us. Kristin provided us with an amazing itinerary for each day. She even included reservations at the best restaurants within each park. This made for a 100% stress free vacation and one that we will always remember. Thank you again Kristin!! There is no way we could have had such a memorable vacation without your help."

"She was very knowledgeable on all the resorts and pricing. She was able to send us all the info we needed instantly which helped us choose our resort so effortlessly. She also helped us book reservations to special character dinners at the parks and were so much fun for the kiddos! We loved it!! She even helped us book private vans to pick us up from the airport and from our hotel back to the airport. I highly recommend Kristin if you need any help booking your vacations! She makes the process a dream!"
"Kristin helped us book our family trip of 10 to Disney World and made the process super easy! "

"I have used her to help set up vacations at both Disneyland and Disney World. She will be as involved as you need her to be. We have booked through her a few times and this most recent booking she kept an eye on the vacation and when prices changed she jumped on it. We ended up saving over ten percent on the trip even with upgrading rooms due to the drop in price. If I had done the booking myself I never would have known that prices dropped. We cannot imagine ever booking a vacation to any Disney park without Kristin. Seriously, save yourself a lot of headaches and tears and book with her. You'll thank me later."
"Kristin does a phenomenal job with helping you through the process of your vacation"

You're supposed to be on vacation too.
This is how I
show up for
every single client
Every trip starts with a real conversation. I want to know what you want this trip to feel like, what matters most, and what would make it a disappointment. From there everything I put together is specific to you.
A plan built around you
Every trip is different, how I work never is
I know which resorts actually deliver, and which ones just photograph well. That kind of firsthand knowledge is hard to google, and it's exactly what you're getting when you work with me.
