I get it. You're busy, or maybe just overwhelmed at how travel looks right now. Requirements for international travel, the ever-changing Disney parks, is your budget realistic for what you'd like to do? These are all questions that I can answer in a heartbeat, but can take hours and hours of research for the average person. Having a travel designer has never been more important, and having one that is a professional, who cares just as much about your vacation as my own, is key for a stress-free, memory-making vacation.
I will use my first-hand experience, affiliations and relationships to design a trip specific to you!
About Your Travel Designer
I grew up in Buffalo, New York, spent my first married years in Chicago, Illinois, split 14 years between Buffalo (again) and Pennsylvania/northern Maryland, but have now (hopefully) permanently settled in the Tampa area. My husband and I have two beautiful daughters, who appreciate travel as much as we both do. I became a travel designer in June of 2018.
​
​I spent my childhood seeing the country, and as I entered high school, was able to venture onto a few cruise sailings and see more of the world. My travel horizons only expanded from there. Travel is medicine for me. Without a trip to look forward to on the horizon, the days all feel a bit sad. I have always loved the adventure of seeing new places, experiencing new cultures and meeting new people. This is probably why I literally set up a pretend travel agency with my best friend, as a young child (each home had a "permanent" office). We took the job very seriously, and it had to be "mobile"!
​
When my husband and I planned to take our girls to Disney World, for our "once-in-a-lifetime" trip, years ago, little did I know the pull that place would have on all of us. We realized, with planning advice from friends that are now my clients, what an all encompassing experience it was. A friend of mine encouraged me to join the agency I am grateful for receiving my start in. Within months of joining, clients were asking me if I could help with their other trips to other destinations. With the first hand experiences I had had, and knowing my love of travel extended well beyond Disney World, I was ready to dive in.
​
In April of 2021, Torri and I became the owners of our own travel agency, LV Travel Co.. This has only allowed us to provide even better service to our clients, and maintain a healthy work/life balance.​

Years after beginning this career, I can honestly say, even through a pandemic, I have truly found my vocational calling and absolutely love what I do. This is my full-time career, and I take it very seriously. I truly understand what a vacation means to a family, a couple finally getting away, or friends reconnecting. It is an honor to be a part of making each and every trip an amazing experience.
