A little more about Maggie...

Hi, I’m Maggie! I’ve been a Travel Advisor with Wishes Family Travel since 2018, and what started as a passion for travel has grown into a business I’m incredibly proud of. I love helping clients plan vacations, building relationships that often turn into friendships, and sharing in the excitement of finding the perfect trip!

I’ve been recognized as a Top Ten Seller within the agency every year since 2020, earned my IATA card, and become a proud member of our agency’s TIDAL CLUB. I’m so grateful for the clients who have trusted me with their vacations and supported my business along the way!

A little about me… After graduating from Duquesne University in 2016, I moved to Florida to work as a Walt Disney World Cast Member. I loved being part of the magic, and after moving back to Maryland, I knew I wanted to keep helping people make memories through travel.

While Disney will always hold a special place in my heart, I book SO much more than Disney! I help clients plan Universal vacations, ocean and river cruises, all-inclusive getaways, honeymoons, European adventures, Alaska trips, and more. Whether you’re dreaming of a relaxing beach escape, a bucket-list adventure, or a family vacation everyone will remember, I’d love to help you get there!

One of my favorite parts of being a Travel Advisor is getting to experience the destinations I recommend. I make a point to visit the places I sell so I can share firsthand recommendations, helpful tips, and those little details that can make a BIG difference in your vacation. Between destination visits, ongoing professional training, and specialized certifications, I’m always learning and keeping up with what’s new in the travel world.

I love helping my clients check destinations off their bucket lists, even as my own continues to grow! Alaska, Disneyland Paris, and St. Lucia are just a few of my favorite bucket-list destinations I’ve been lucky enough to experience firsthand. And when I’m not planning vacations or traveling myself, you can usually find me in the Outer Banks, visiting a local coffee shop, or hanging out with my rescue pup, Ruffles.

So, what can I help you plan? Maybe it’s your child’s first Disney vacation, a Caribbean honeymoon, a multi-generational cruise, an anniversary getaway, a European adventure, or something completely different!

I love making the planning process easier, taking the guesswork out of the details, and helping you feel confident about the vacation you’re booking. You get to focus on the excitement of your upcoming trip while I help you navigate the planning! Ready to start traveling? Please reach out to maggie@wishesfamilytravel.com
