About Me

I'm Sarah. Wife, mom, coffee enthusiast, author, and a former travel agent who spent years planning vacations for families like yours. I have over 25 years of experience in the autism field and I'm a Certified Accessible Travel Advocate. Over the years I've built my career around making travel actually work for families with unique needs.

I'm also a mom to a child with multiple food allergies, and I have food allergies myself, so I know how much extra planning safe travel takes and how good it feels when a trip finally goes smoothly.

These days my focus is on sharing everything I've learned along the way. Whether that's finding a quiet spot to decompress at a theme park, packing for a food allergy safe cruise, or just knowing where to start, my goal is to give you the tools and insider knowledge to plan a trip that's full of joy, without needing to be the one booking it for you.
