Hi! I’m Danielle — travel advisor, business owner, celiac, ADHD mom, Disney adult (no shame), Girl Scout troop leader, and the person who somehow always has 17 tabs open in both my brain and my browser. And where is that music coming from, seriously?
I started this blog because, honestly? I have so much to say about travel. The kind of real, unfiltered, “here’s what actually happens when your kid has a meltdown at Magic Kingdom and you're trying to find a gluten-free snack while sweating through your Minnie ears” kind of travel.
And I’m not here to give you cookie-cutter tips from a brochure. I’m here to tell you about the good stuff and the messy stuff. Because travel doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful.
Who am I?
I'm the founder of Wanderlust Vacation Travel, LLC, a travel agency that helps families, couples, and anyone with a pulse plan amazing, low-stress vacations. I specialize in gluten-free travel (because I have celiac and I get it) and I’m working toward my certification as a Certified Autism Travel Professional because some of the most amazing people in my life are neurodivergent and deserve travel that actually works for them.
So, yes. I plan Disney trips. Cruises. All-inclusives. Bucket list adventures. And I also help with the real-life stuff — like packing lists that actually make sense, sensory-friendly tips, and how to avoid hangry breakdowns (kids or adults… no judgment).
Why blog now?
Because I’m always sending voice memos and texts like, “You should totally pack your own reusable straws for Costa Rica” or “Royal Caribbean actually does gluten-free really well,” and I figured… why not put all that travel brain energy in one place?
Also, I live in a tornado of ADHD energy and sometimes writing is the only way to wrangle my thoughts into something useful for other people. So, hi. Welcome to the chaos. It’s usually fun here. And just as a forewarning, I can be a little sweary, but I promise I'll try to keep it to a minimum.
What you’ll find here:
Honest travel stories (the “oops I forgot the sunscreen and now we live in the gift shop” kind)
Gluten-free tips that don’t suck
Disney and Universal planning ideas from a mom who’s done them a lot
All-inclusive resort recs that aren’t a gamble
Cruise planning made simple (with real drink package opinions)
Travel planning help for ADHD and neurodivergent families
Packing tips, pre-travel excitement builders, and sometimes memes
One thing I know for sure:
Travel isn’t just about the destination. It’s about feeling like yourself again. Reconnecting with your family. Making memories you’ll still laugh about when you’re 80. It’s about taking a break from the mental load (because OH MY GOD, the mental load) and letting someone else — like me — take care of the details for once.
If you’re into that, stick around.
And if you ever need help planning a trip that fits your unique, wonderful life — gluten-free, sensory-friendly, or just a break-you-actually-look-forward-to — I’m your girl.
Let’s do this. 💜🌍
Talk soon,
Danielle
P.S. If you’ve ever cried on a rollercoaster or packed 13 snacks “just in case,” you are absolutely my kind of people.
