I grew up thinking vacation meant Cedar Point and Kings Island. One Disney trip in third grade—and that was it. Even then, I knew I was missing something.

As soon as I hit adulthood, I traveled every chance I got—Europe in my 20s, hostels, big cities, and road trips across the US. Travel became how I learned, explored, and felt most alive.

I married an equally insatiable traveler, and together we’ve explored Hawai’i, Italy, Colorado ski trips, and Vegas adventures. Kids changed how we traveled—but not why.

Now that they’re older, travel is part of our family culture. We take two to three big trips a year, love luxury cruising (Norwegian’s Haven is a favorite), and unwind at resorts in Mexico and the Dominican Republic. My husband and I also travel for scuba diving—Bonaire and Saint Lucia—and recently took our family on a week-long adventure through Ireland.

Time with our kids at home is finite. We choose to fill it with meaningful travel, new cultures, and unforgettable experiences. I have an insatiable curiosity. Travel is how I honor it—and now, how I help others do the same.
