I started Your Time to Fly in 2020 because as I approached fifty, I realized that it was getting easier to travel with my husband or friends began to embrace the empty nest phase of life. Your Time to Fly brings together a community of like-minded Generation X women who aren’t finding what they are looking for on boomer or millennial websites.

BACKGROUND

Before branching into travel, I spent over 20 years managing marketing communications and creating strategic marketing plans for technology-based companies, utilizing my BS and MBA in Business Administration and Marketing.

TRAVEL EXPERTISE

In 2013 I started We3Travel, a family travel website, and then in 2016, I launched and began co-hosting the Vacation Mavens family travel podcast. In addition, I also spent a few years as a Travel Advisor for leading family travel agency Ciao Bambino, providing unique insights into the many-layered travel industry.

In the past, I have written for Lonely Planet, TravelAge West, Family Vacation Critic, and Trivago. As a professional travel writer, I am a member of the Society of American Travel Writers (SATW) and the Adventure Travel Trade Association (ATTA), and serve on the board of the Family Travel Association (FTA).

WHERE TO FIND ME

While I grew up a Jersey girl and spent a stint in New York City, for the last 20+ years I have called Rhode Island home. When not at home plugging away at travel writing, you will often find me road tripping in the U.S., hiking mountains or glamping in New England, or exploring the cities and small towns of Europe. In all of my trips, I love incorporating historical learning, cultural experiences, outdoor adventure, and, mostly importantly, some delicious food and wine. 

While I do love maximizing airline and hotel loyalty programs, I’m a sucker for a boutique hotel with local charm and small luxury properties that focus on service and style. 

You can also follow me on InstagramTikTokYouTubeFacebook, and Pinterest.
