I help travelers stop stressing over vacation planning and start getting excited about the experiences ahead. I’m Paula O’Brien, an independent travel advisor with a passion for helping people turn their dream vacations into real-life memories—especially those who may feel overlooked by traditional travel planning. Whether you’re envisioning a luxury cruise, an all-inclusive beach escape, a theme park adventure, or a customized multi-generational trip, I bring years of professional travel planning experience and firsthand knowledge to the table. I specialize in accessible travel, but I plan for everyone—couples, families, honeymooners, solo adventurers, and groups. My job is to make your travel experience smooth, exciting, and perfectly matched to your needs. My clients love that I’m approachable, responsive, and deeply committed to making every trip a great one. Some want me to handle every detail. Others just need expert guidance to avoid costly mistakes or wasted time. However hands-on or hands-off you prefer to be, I meet you there. No cookie-cutter trips here—each itinerary is thoughtfully curated, and I stay in touch from the planning phase through your return home.
One thing that sets me apart is my expertise in accessible travel. I’m a Certified Autism Travel Professional and a mom to three amazing kids with special needs. I also have experience traveling with a wheelchair user, a service dog, and dietary restrictions—so I understand how layered accessibility can be. I make sure every resort, cruise ship, tour, and transportation plan we put in place works for you or your loved ones. Need a roll-in shower? Looking for sensory-friendly excursions? Wondering how to navigate theme park accommodation systems or airline wheelchair policies? I’ve got you. But accessible travel isn’t my only lane. I’ve planned Disney and Universal vacations for first-timers and annual passholders alike. I help honeymooners choose the right resort, and I guide cruise lovers toward the best staterooms and itineraries on lines like Celebrity, Princess, and Virgin Voyages. Whether you’re planning your first big vacation or your tenth bucket list trip, I’m here to make it easy and exceptional.
When you work with me, you’re not just getting a travel agent—you’re getting a personalized planning partner who’s thinking about the little things before you even ask. I create custom checklists, offer insider tips, and help you avoid the mistakes that can derail a trip. I’m also building a library of free, helpful resources like packing lists, sensory-friendly travel guides, and hotel accessibility questionnaires to support my clients and community. So if you’re tired of scrolling for hours, second-guessing your choices, or feeling like travel just isn’t made for you—let’s fix that. Ready to start planning your dream trip, without the stress?
