Hi there! I’m Emily Grote , a proud mom to a busy toddler, a Spanish teacher, a golf coach, and above all, a passionate traveler! Whether I’m leading student groups through the lush rainforests of Costa Rica, or exploring tropical destinations like Hawaii and Puerto Rico with my family, travel is at the heart of everything I do.

As a travel agent, my mission is to help you plan a trip that truly fits your family’s unique needs and priorities. Every family travels differently, and I’m here to make sure your vacation reflects what matters most to you. But my support goes way beyond just booking flights and hotels — I’m here for the little details too: packing tips, stroller logistics, navigating airports with littles in tow, and even fun airplane activities for tiny travelers. I’ve been there, and I know how overwhelming it can be. Let me help make your journey smoother and more enjoyable from start to finish.

While I am passionate about family travel, I also have a soft spot for destination weddings and honeymoons! I planned my own destination wedding at a luau in beautiful Maui, Hawaii. Although it was initially a tough sell with my family, it turned into one of the most unforgettable experiences of our lives. Spending two weeks in paradise surrounded by our closest friends and loved ones was truly magical. From navigating logistics to offering encouragement when things feel overwhelming, I’m here to help bring your dream celebration to life.

Traveling with kids, planning group trips, organizing big events — these are more than just checkboxes to me. They’re meaningful adventures that build lifelong memories and teach valuable life skills, even to the tiniest travelers.

Life is short. Take the trip.
