About Me

Hi! My name is April Hammond, and I live in Tampa, Florida. As a plus-size, fat-positive traveler, I believe that everyone’s travel dreams are achievable, regardless of size or ability. Adventure is out there, and I’m here to help you find it!

My passion lies in cruising and Disney destinations, inspired by my own experiences exploring the open seas. As a foster kid, my first vacation to Disney World was a life-changing gift that instilled in me a belief in happily ever after. After college, I moved from Michigan to Florida to live out my own fairy tale with my prince, who shares my zest for adventure.

As your concierge travel planner, my goal is to tailor your vacation to your unique needs while alleviating any fears or stresses you may have about planning. I specialize in plus-size and accessible travel, drawing from my own experiences to ensure your cruise or other destination is accommodating and enjoyable.

With a background in teaching and a natural knack for planning, I’m equipped to curate the perfect dream vacation for your whole family. Let’s embark on an adventure together!
