About Stephanie
I've Always Been the One Planning the Trip.
Florida-based travel advisor specializing in cruises, theme parks, and the kind of trip you actually come home talking about.
My Story
For as long as I can remember, travel has been my happy place. The research, the anticipation, the moment someone sees something for the first time and lights up — that's what gets me. Friends and family have always come to me with their travel questions, and I've always loved helping them find the right trip, the right deal, the experience that fits their life.In October 2024, I made it official. I became a travel advisor with Cornerstone Collective and launched Empower Your Journey Travel — and what I thought I knew about travel turned out to be just the beginning.I'm a Florida-based advisor specializing in cruises and theme parks, with a particular focus on women's travel, inclusive experiences for adults with special needs, and helping Canadians navigate US destinations. I've sailed with Virgin Voyages, Norwegian Cruise Line, and more — with Alaska, MSC, and others on the horizon. I hold certifications from multiple cruise lines and theme park suppliers, and I keep learning because this industry rewards the curious.I work with families, solo travelers, couples, and groups. I'm patient with first-timers and I don't judge a budget. What I care about is that you come home having had the trip you actually wanted.If you've ever felt like travel is too complicated, too expensive, or not for someone like you — that's exactly who I'm here for.
