Travel planner reviewing a map with a family

Meet the analyst behind Spellbound Journeys

Hi — I'm the person who reads crowd calendars for fun, color-codes packing lists, and genuinely believes the best vacations happen when someone else handles the logistics so you can focus on the memories.

Spellbound Journeys is my way of combining a career in data analysis with a lifelong love of travel. I plan trips the way I'd want my own family to travel: thoughtfully, efficiently, and with room for spontaneity.

My Journey

I grew up in Texas, where road trips were a way of life and every summer meant a new adventure — from Gulf Coast beaches to Hill Country camping. Those early trips taught me that the planning is just as important as the destination.

After college, I landed in Nevada, where weekend escapes to national parks and Las Vegas became my reset button. I learned to optimize itineraries down to the hour — not because I'm rigid, but because I hate wasting precious vacation time standing in the wrong line.

Today, I call North Georgia home. Between raising a family and building a career in data analytics, I've traveled across the U.S., Mexico, and Europe — always taking notes on what works (and what definitely doesn't) for families on the go.

My Superpowers

What makes a data analyst a great travel planner?

Data-Driven Planning

Crowd predictions, price tracking, weather patterns, and transit schedules — I use real data to make smarter decisions about when, where, and how you travel.

Family-First

Every itinerary accounts for nap times, picky eaters, mobility needs, and the reality that happy kids (and grandparents) make happy vacations.

Niche Travel Love

Theme parks, Halloween events, European rail passes — I specialize in the trips that require deep knowledge, not generic templates.

Where I've Been

A few destinations that shaped how I plan trips today.

Walt Disney World & Universal Orlando

Dozens of park visits — mastering crowd calendars, dining strategies, and resort hopping.

Halloween Events — U.S. & Beyond

Mickey's Not-So-Scary, Knott's Scary Farm, Salem, and seasonal festivals across the country.
