I started traveling around the United States at a young age. My dad traveled a lot for work, and I was homeschooled, so it was easy for my mom to pack up my siblings and me to tag along. We mainly stuck with the East Coast but did take a few trips out west to California and the surrounding areas. I don’t recall a time in my life where our next trip or vacation wasn’t planned. We seemingly always had something to look forward to. Once I was an adult, I didn’t want the adventures to end…in fact, I was ready to take things international! My first international vacation was to France, Belgium and The Netherlands. It felt like a dream. Since then, the travels haven’t stopped.

My love for travel has inspired me in many ways with To Travel & Beyond. I love sharing tales of our adventures, what we like to do on a daily basis, thoughts on motherhood, and anything else that comes up in the day-to-day. Many people think life stops after you have kids; I am here to show you just how untrue that is!

Sharing travel stories and advice, no matter the budget, and how to use PTO effectively are my passions for writing. I want to encourage others to plan it out and make their travel dreams come true. If you have a love for adventure- continue seeking it! If you have kids-don’t think that should stop you from seeing the world; in fact, it’s a reason to see more of it!
