My Story
I’m a Chicago-based hockey mom, professional chauffeur to two busy boys, dog lover, and lifelong travel seeker with an adventurous spirit. Traveling as a family—both close to home and across the globe—has shaped how I approach travel planning today: intentionally, thoughtfully, and with a long-term vision in mind.
I also understand that travel evolves as life does. Some families are traveling with children, others are planning trips now that their kids are grown, and many are exploring the world as couples or across generations. No matter the season of life, I believe the most meaningful journeys are built over time—planned around your interests, lifestyle, and bucket-list dreams.
Whether it’s island escapes in the Caribbean or Hawaii, a long-anticipated European journey, or mapping out an unforgettable experience through Asia or the Middle East, I help turn those aspirations into a realistic, beautifully curated travel plan.
Travel Style
Travel, to me, is about more than booking a single vacation—it’s about creating a thoughtfully curated collection of experiences over time. From milestone trips and cultural journeys to relaxed island escapes or once-in-a-lifetime adventures, each trip plays a role in a bigger picture.
As a FORA Travel Advisor, I design highly personalized itineraries and long-term travel plans for families and couples who want to travel with intention. I curate every detail—from destinations and accommodations to guides, experiences, and logistics—while layering in preferred partnerships, VIP perks, and insider recommendations whenever available.
My role is to help you move from dreaming to doing—turning long-held travel goals into reality and creating memorable trips you’ll treasure for years to come.
Turning your travel daydreams into memorable trips—so all you have to do is show up and enjoy.
I specialize in thoughtfully curated journeys that reflect how you want to travel—now and in the years ahead. Each itinerary is customized, never templated, and designed with intention, pacing, and meaningful experiences in mind.

Renee Schneidewind chose the perfect hotel for us to stay in the night before our cruise. The hotel was just minutes away from the cruise port. Renee communicates well and in professional manner.

Renee was super easy to work with and went above and beyond to get us a corner room (quieter), and surprised the birthday boy with some treats from the hotel. Would highly recommend!!

Renee is very thorough and creative in finding unique places. She found a place for my birthday girls trip last year, Christmas 2025, and we seek to get her help every time we travel and always been glad for her knowledge and connections, and especially the perks that come with her access to the many great retreat and spa locations! Thank you Renee for your exceptional, top end service!

5 stars!!! Renee was wonderful to work with—thoughtful, attentive, and really tuned in to our family’s preferences. She offered great insight and advice for traveling with small children, including fun things to do and see that we wouldn’t have thought of on our own. The whole process was smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend and I’m recommending her to my friends and family for all their travel plans.
