I am a full time working mom with passion for planning and traveling with my family. I love food, wine, culture, beach destinations and animals. Enjoy smaller towns and villages but recognize the amazing culture that often can be found in larger cities. We have a huge Disney fan in the family and the kids enjoy it too. We prefer mid-range hotels but are happy to save with a clean comfortable budget hotel or splurge on a luxury hotel. I love utilizing travel hacking to help our family travel more. Favorite places I have visited include Hawaii, Italy, Australia and New Zealand. Travel goals include Antarctica to visit my 7th continent. Galapagos and African Safari. Favorite budget trip is Jamaica Holiday Inn All Inclusive Montego Bay.
