A Bit About Stephanie
Born and raised on the West Coast where she grew up camping, hiking and traveling throughout various National Parks with Tahoe and Yosemite practically in her backyard, Stephanie's love for adventure and travel started early.
Adding Disneyland, SeaWorld, and more thrills of theme parks and rides to those core memories, her parents were responsible for creating an eager adventurer in Stephanie. She can not wait to create those memories for my own family as well as others.
That adventurous side had her uproot herself to the Northwest early into her adult life where there was a whole new world of mountains in her front yard, and the coast in her backyard. Monthly trips to Astoria were the best because well...Goonies Never Die .
Fast forward 15 years, 3 kids later, a couple years in Nashville, TN then back to the west coast in Reno, NV, she is now helping other make memories from Cincinnati, OH.
While her oldest continues to live and work in Portland, her girls, now in elementary school, keep her young and on my toes. Summer days are their favorite and when it gets too cold, guess what's only a 2 hour flight away? Disney World! She loves watching her childhood memories reignite through them, and is eager to share and relive her childhood adventures with them as they grow!
Why should you choose Stephanie? She absolutely loves creating and helping others build their own forever memories. Her personal experiences across the states, as well as knowledge into the international world of travel, will help you plan the perfect trip for any occasion. Stephanie finds so much joy in what people always joke and refer to as "Hallmark Moments" and making them happen. Whether it be for herself, a neighbor, a friend or stranger, if she can be part of their next story of memories and experiences they shared together, THAT makes her just as happy as they are.
First Disney Trip: Grew up on Disneyland, CA trips with my first visit at 1 year old! Did you know the characters were allowed to hold me then?
Favorite Theme Park: No favorites here- love pieces of them all
Rides I NEVER Miss: I honestly love the magic of the parades, characters, and fireworks more than any of the rides
Restaurants I always recommend: Quick Services are my favorites (and cheaper)! Buffalo Chicken Chips at Animal Kingdom and the Butter Bar in Germany at Epcot are a must get EVERYTIME!
Best vacation ever: To date, our Alaskan cruise included experiences and sites from dog sledding to a kayaking experience that will be hard to top with the looks on my girls faces during it all. This should be at least a 1-time bucket list for everyone which should speak volume coming from the girl that hates cold anything, besides ice-cream.
Favorite vacation spot: Over 90 degrees on a beach and I'm set.
My Bucket List Trip: Swimming with pigs in the Bahamas - I hope to update this soon with my next one!
My specialty: Where do I begin....honestly, my specialties are catered to your needs. Being a very budget friendly (and quite frugal) traveler myself, I feel like I can make the most of any vacation request while at the same time, can cater to make those special anniversaries, birthdays and celebration splurges as extravagant as you want, all while still getting you the best deal for your budget. Location wise, it's no secret I've spent the last 7 years going to Disney A LOT and although I can probably plan that trip in my sleep, I hold so many more travel secrets beyond there. Growing up on the west coast and visiting National Parks as our source of family travel inspired me to share the same with my own. Last summer, we visited 22 states over a stretch of almost 60 days, and I could claim to specialize in the best rest stops too at this point. Whether it be a lifetime trip to Disney, bucket list trip to Greece, cruise to explore various places, or simply a road trip or staycation nearby, I'd like to think I specialize in D:, all of the above. Your need will become my specialty.
