Favorite Travel Memory:
I wish I remembered which year this was, because my favorite travel memory is a seemingly mundane moment in time. I was on vacation with my dad, sister, grandma, and grandpa. We were at Disney World, walking up Main Street towards the castle. My sister and I were in our teens, and at this point we've been to Disney so many times. But, when we got up closer towards the castle, I remember looking up and seeing something straight out of a Disney commercial. To my left was a little boy playing jump rope with two cast members. All around me were just families smiling and being happy, along with my own family, with Cinderella's castle facing us. It was a beautiful bright, sunny day, with bubbles floating in the air. It didn't feel too hot or humid, the only feeling I had was complete peace. It was just a perfect moment in time where I was with my family, seeing how other strangers were sharing in this perfect moment. I wish so badly that I had a picture or some sort of recording of that exact moment! To this day, I think of that moment like stepping into a portal of magic. At the time, it was just amazing to see because you really only think you can see those kinds of things on TV. To live such a magical moment, so randomly, felt truly special. I hold this memory especially close to my heart now that my grandparents have passed. Knowing I got to experience such a perfect moment with my family is exactly the feeling I want to bring to my clients!
Dream Vacation:
My dream is to go to Tokyo, Japan, so I can visit places that were featured in Sailor Moon, such as the Jindai Botanical Gardens and Tokyo Tower!
Disney Travel Advice:
My Disney travel advice is to wear a comfortable pair of waterproof shoes! You are on your feet all day at Disney, and a comfortable shoe will do WONDERS! The waterproof feature will keep your feet dry in the event of surprise storms, spills, and wet rides.
My Favorite Travel Tip
My favorite travel tip is to bring the Anker 2-in-1 hybrid charger. While its bigger than regular portable chargers, I love bringing this because it's both a portable charger AND regular charger. It has 3 ports, so I can charge 3 devices at once if needed. If I'm somewhere I can plug it in, I can use it as a regular charger, reserving the portable battery for when I might not be able to plug in! The charge lasts, it charges fast, and it's saved my devices from dying multiple times!
