Giving Magic With Steph

If you're the person everyone counts on to make the family vacation happen, you're in the right place.

I'm Steph — founder of Giving Magic with Steph, and for nearly twenty years, a school counselor. That's not something I left behind to do this; it's still what shapes how I plan travel. One role taught me how to create meaningful experiences. The other taught me how to understand the people experiencing them.

Here, I help families start with the people, not the place - so the trip actually fits the ones taking it. Expect honest thinking on Disney and Universal, cruises versus resorts, and the multigenerational planning decisions that are harder than they look.

Because the goal was never just a great itinerary. It's a trip planned intentionally enough that everyone feels considered, the memories actually happen — and the person who made it all happen finally gets to enjoy it too.
