My Story
Former female solo traveler turned family travel advisor. Excited to share my boots-on-the-ground travel experience to help you plan your next travel adventure.
Travel Style
I am a shameless travel content creator with a B.A. in Geography and Tourism. In my younger years, I backpacked in Europe, South America, and Central America as a solo female traveler. When I am not traveling with my now 12 year old son and significant other, I spend my free time strategizing the best way to rack up airline miles. Our recent adventures include Japan, Mexico, Sint Maarten, and Panama! Next stop, Guatemala!

Sheila of SheMamaMaps Travel Planning made our Puerto Rico trip so easy and stress-free from start to finish. She helped us find the perfect hotels that fit our family’s needs and budget while still giving us an amazing vacation experience. Her recommendations for activities were excellent! From San Juan to Vieques and local hidden gems to El Yunque excursions that we probably would have missed on our own.
I would absolutely recommend Sheila to anyone planning a trip, especially for families who want a well-planned, memorable vacation without the stress.

Sheila made planning our Disney trip so much easier by helping us find the perfect budget-friendly off-site hotel. She took the time to understand exactly what we needed, something affordable, convenient, family-friendly, and close enough to Disney without paying the high on-property prices. I would absolutely recommend SheMamaMaps Travel Planning.

24-Hours in Las Vegas with Kids
Welcome to "24 Hours in Las Vegas With Kids," a unique travel guide that takes you on an unexpected adventure in the entertainment capital of the world. In June of 2022, we found ourselves in Las Vegas unexpectedly after giving up our seats on an overbooked flight during a layover from Denver. The next flight to our home in Tampa wasn't scheduled for another 24 hours. Instead of feeling stranded, we decided to seize the opportunity and explore Las Vegas with our family. As a traveler who grew up in the 80's and 90's, I'm no stranger to the excitement of "getting bumped" off flights for vouchers, which helped fund our next adventure. Join us as we turn an unexpected layover into an unforgettable 24-hour family experience in Las Vegas!
