Her passion for travel, combined with her strong business acumen, makes her an excellent resource for anyone looking to plan their next adventure.
My travel style has changed dramatically from my days as a single person to now having two young children. I used to take vacations now I class them as trips with two small children to entertain 24/7. With children your priority is ‘are they happy’ because if they are happy the rest of the family can be happy and enjoy the trip. You need to build in ‘reset days’ I call them where you don’t actually plan anything to allow the little people a chance to have a nap or eat when they want and not on a tour schedule, etc.
