Spectrum Getaways
I created Spectrum Getaways as an answer to my own dilemma of wanting to vacation with my autistic son but didn’t know where to travel, what to do when I got there, and how to provide my son with an experience that was enjoyable for him without triggering him in any way.
I didn’t know that autism-friendly vacations existed, and after becoming a travel advisor in 2018, I began extensive research to see if I could find anything like this to support my son. My research led me to become a Certified Autism Travel Professional and equipped me with the tools and confidence to build vacations that were autism-friendly for my family. The benefit of this was two-fold for me because I got to keep traveling but also one of my passions was actualized because I get to help other parents with autistic children provide beautiful travel experiences with their children as well! I was creating a community of little world travelers - who happened to have autism.

Our Magical Disney Cruise to Xcambó | Exploring a Mayan Temple with My Boys
Join me as I relive one of my favorite family trips on the Disney Magic, sailing out of New Orleans to Xcambó in Progreso, Mexico! This cruise was extra special because it was one of the last sailings from New Orleans. My oldest son had been asking since he was 4 to see a Mayan temple, and this trip made his dream come true. While it wasn’t Chichén Itza, the temple in Xcambó was the perfect adventure-we could actually climb and explore it! Watching my son light up inside as he finally experienced a Mayan temple was unforgettable.
