Travel style
I'm passionate about making travel feel more simple, doable and enjoyable for anyone ready to explore more of the world. In my personal travels, I am always looking for a way to balance adding fun amenities and experiences to really make a trip feel special while also incorporating budget-friendly tricks. I like using credit card points for flights when possible and am happy to share some tips and tricks to get you started in the point hacking game. I love including our daughter and dogs in our trips when possible and can help you find your perfect adventures with your kids and/or pets! My family started the snowbird life early, traveling and working remotely from our RV for a few months to escape the cold Midwest winters, so I am also able to help with RV travel planning for a small planning fee. On my personal adventures, you’ll find me starting my mornings slowly enjoying coffee and views (well, as slow as a toddler will allow), exploring in the afternoon and relaxing in the evenings with a nice glass of wine.

Stephanie's reviews
Stephanie was wonderful to work with. She made sure she understood what we were looking for in planning our vacation. She provided suggestions and ideas that helped us decide on the Bahamas. She was very responsive and a great communicator in answering questions and helping us through the process. Stephanie made it so easy for us to plan our trip. I will reach out to her to help with our future vacations.

Steph is very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. She will always do her homework for you and get you the best deal possible. We decided after initial booking that we wanted to get travel insurance for our trip. Steph quickly got us coverage for this at a reasonable rate. I would recommend Steph for any of your travel needs.

Stephanie was wonderful and we will continue to work with her for all our travel needs in the future. She was very responsive and helpful when I was all over the place trying to decide what trip to book very last minute. She helped us book a fabulous Disney Cruise and the transportation to and from the trip. It was such a smooth process flying in, staying at the hotel in the airport and getting on our shuttle to the cruise ship. We loved getting off the ship and getting dropped back off at our Disney World hotel too. Thanks, Stephanie!

Stephanie was very friendly and easy to work with. She assisted with our requests and was very quick to respond when we reached out to her. She was able to use her Fora connections to find us a larger room that we could not find on our own. She also ensured our room was located near our family during our stay. Booking with her was a great experience, we will use her services again!
