About Me
Hi there! I’m Jillian—a full-time working mom, travel enthusiast, and unapologetic Disney lover. I recently started planning travel independently — not as an agent, but as someone who genuinely loves adventure, Disney, and helping families create unforgettable and hopefully a little less stressful trips.

I’ve been blessed to explore the continental U.S., Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. If a destination has a rich history, you can bet it’s on my travel wishlist. These days, my journeys tend to lead me to two favorite places: Las Vegas and Disney Parks. And if you ask my husband, he’ll confirm—I’m extremely obsessed with Disney (he’s not wrong).

While I plan to share all kinds of travel stories, full disclosure: most of my content will revolve around Disney magic and Vegas escapes.

So who am I beyond the suitcase and countdowns? I grew up bouncing between Minnesota’s eastern Twin Cities area and Southern California. I’m a holiday lover through and through—though Christmas slightly edges out Halloween in my heart.
My husband is a proud 20-year retired Army National Guard veteran, so you’ll occasionally find military travel tips sprinkled in. And then there’s my favorite travel buddy—our 14-year-old daughter—who’s always up for the next adventure. Maybe I’ll even convince her to guest post one day!

This blog is my happy place to share, plan, and celebrate the joy of travel. Thanks for being here—I hope you enjoy the journey as much as I do!
