Family Vacation 101
Welcome to Family Vacation 101!
I’m a mom of two, a frequent traveler, and completely addicted to cruising. Over the years, I’ve explored more than 25 countries and sailed on 25+ cruises—and now I’m sharing everything I’ve learned to help you plan smarter, save money, and enjoy stress-free family vacations.
From cruise tips and packing hacks to insider secrets and budget-friendly strategies, my goal is to make every trip with your family easier and more fun. When I’m not at sea, you can usually find me skiing with my husband and kids during the winter months. We live in the New York City metro area, but our adventures take us all over the world.
If you love travel, cruising, and creating unforgettable family memories, you’re in the right place. Subscribe and join me as I share practical advice and inspiration to help you make the most of your next vacation!
