Welcome to Suitcases & Sunshine!

My name is Sarah! I’m a Texan by birth, but now live in Ohio. I am happily married to my husband, Mike, I’m a proud step-mom to four wonderful kids, and a dog mom to two Labrador Retrievers and two Miniature Doodles. I work full time in a dental office and part-time as a Professional Travel Planner. I am a certifiable Disney Adult, I won’t watch a movie if the dog dies, I have several musical soundtracks completely memorized, and I may have a slight obsession with cheese.

When my family and I have downtime, we enjoy visits to amusement parks, outings at county fairs and festivals, evenings spent watching movies and delving into crime documentaries, tackling DIY projects around our home, and, of course, satisfying our wanderlust through travel adventures!

Not only do I love traveling, but I’m also a Professional Travel Advisor. This allows me to help you and your family create unforgettable memories on your vacations. My role involves assisting you in researching, planning, and booking your trip, while also resolving any unexpected issues that may arise. Check out my Travel Planning Services page for more information!

I am so excited to share my travel experiences with you! My goal is for this blog to serve as a valuable resource for you to discover the best activities in various travel destinations worldwide. As we travel, Mike and I will share our insights on top attractions, landmarks, and dining experiences, as well as our best tips and tricks!

Talk to you soon!
