✦ Favorite Disney Attraction:

My favorite Disney attraction is Pirates of the Caribbean, but Guardians of the Galaxy- Cosmic Rewind is a very close second. Pirates is a very nostalgic piece of Disney history, where Guardians is a fun, fast, and futuristic ride that really shows people the future of where Disney is heading.

✦ Most Memorable Travel Moment:

My grandparents would take each grandchild and their family to Disney World for their 5th birthday. I am the oldest of 3 in my family, so by the time I was 10 I was going to Disney for my third time. I am forever grateful for my grandparents for giving us those memories, and those are some of my favorite memories to look back on and flip through the pictures especially since my grandpa passed. My other favorite travel moment would be when I schemed with my aunts to fly out to Massachusetts with my fiancé and surprise my grandma for her 80th birthday in 2024. This was done in a 5 week timeframe, and I was surprised nobody let it slip. It was so much fun since all my cousins and aunts and uncle were in on it, and the only one who didn't know was my grandma.

✦ Dream Person to Travel With:

I would love to travel with Julie Andrews. She carries herself with such grace, and plus she is my pick for my celebrity grandma when it comes to my dream celebrity family.

✦ Where Would You Go and Why:

Genovia of course, but it all seriousness, I'd love to go to Salzburg, Austria with her and pick her brain about all things The Sound of Music. I am also a very Austrian, so it would be cool to see where my ancestors came from as well.

✦ Favorite Book or Series:

That Boy series by Jillian Dodd

✦ 1 Fun Fact Most Don’t Know About You:

I have my Bachelors of Science in Psychology with a minor in Athletic Coaching Education, and my Masters of Science in Higher Education Professional Development with a double emphasis in Leadership Development and Athletic Administration. My dream job is be a Mental Skills Performance Coach for a professional sports team.

✦ What’s a Travel Mistake You’ll Never Forget & What Did You Learn:

I would say going in with high expectations was my travel mistake. I went into our Disney World in January 2024, trying to make it just as perfect as our last one, but the weather had different plans. It was cold, windy and was misting heavily our whole trip until the last day. Going to Florida in January was our way of getting out of the doom and gloom of Wisconsin winter, and we didn't pack warm enough clothes for 50's and a heavy mist, which put a damper on both my mood, and my fiancés, and we were a little on edge the majority of the trip. Going in with "low expectations" and going with the flow is the best way to go. You can try and make it "perfect" all you want but the more you try, the more you will see the flaws and what is going wrong instead of what truly matters and that is making memories. Take a deep breath and smile because you are at Disney and not at work.

✦ A Destination Everyone Should Visit:

I think everyone should visit Sanibel Island at least once in their life. The shelling is out of this world. The food is delicious, and nothing beats the sunshine and blue waters. This is my mom's favorite vacation spot in the entire world so it hold a special place in my heart.
