Why Laugh & Gear

Real travel experience, made useful for your family.

Laugh & Gear grew from the Disney trips, cruises, and Puerto Rico adventures my family takes together, and from learning firsthand which details can make a vacation feel easier, smoother, and more memorable.

We share the practical things that help families plan with confidence: what is worth booking ahead, how to make the most of your time, and where a little guidance can go a long way.

Whether you are looking for honest travel videos, helpful planning tools, or personal support with your vacation, Laugh & Gear is here to help you spend less time second-guessing and more time looking forward to the trip.

Professional background

Detailed planning, grounded in real-world experience.

My 20+ years in technology and hospitality shape the way I approach every detail.

My experience at Big Four CPA firms taught me how to earn trust, organize complex information, and provide thoughtful service when the details matter.

Combined with my background as an Army veteran and my work in SEO, web development, creative strategy, and storytelling, I bring a disciplined, people-first approach to travel planning.

That means clear guidance, personal attention, and a vacation plan built around your family—not a one-size-fits-all checklist.

20+

Years bringing technology, hospitality, and people-first service.

The details matter—but your family’s time together matters even more.

My approach to every trip I help plan.

What you can expect

Planning that feels like it was made for your family.

No cookie-cutter recommendations, no pressure—just thoughtful guidance for the vacation you want to take.

Family-first perspective

I plan with real family rhythms in mind: travel days, energy levels, budgets, and the moments you do not want to miss.

Clear, honest guidance

You get straightforward recommendations that make decisions simpler, from hotels and ships to park days and transportation.

Bilingual support

English or Spanish, you will have a knowledgeable, approachable person to turn to before your vacation begins.
