About Me

I inherited major anxiety from my grandma, a self-proclaimed worry-wort, and led a super sheltered life as the only child of a single father.  

For my 21st birthday I decided to fly for the first time, and (after a million questions to my experienced friend, about a dozen web searches, and a notebook full of notes) I caught the travel bug.

I'm a teacher by trade and spend a lot of time traveling for work and pleasure, dragging my husband Scott from one location to another across the globe.

The teacher in me has made me obsessed with being prepared for every situation and as a worrier with diagnosed anxiety, I can imagine just about the worst case in any situation. As an experienced traveler I've encountered a lot of worst-case scenarios and lived to tell the tale. 

I'm here to give you first-hand advice about what has worked for me--from preventing travel hiccoughs, stress, and anxiety, to what to do when you can't avoid them.  

Yes, you can turn your travel anxiety into healthy pre-trip jitters and I am here to help!

Always,
