Travel With Me
Hey there
I am ELENA
your travel agent
I’ve always loved traveling, you’ve probably seen that on my Instagram @elena_ft_usa. Last year alone, we took 13 trips!
At some point I realized… I might as well help you plan yours too!
OUR CRUISE JOURNEY
Our first cruise was a completely new experience for us. I honestly had no idea how cruising worked, what to expect onboard, or whether it would be the right type of vacation for our family.
Now, after two cruises, we can officially say, we love it! 🚢🌊
We’ve learned so much along the way, discovered what we enjoy most about cruising, and we’re already planning cruise #3.
Thinking about taking your first cruise, or ready for your next one?
I’d be happy to help you find and book the right cruise for you.
TOURS & EXCURSIONS
Find Things to Do Anywhere You Travel
Whenever we travel, I use Viator to find and book tours, excursions, and experiences - from sightseeing tours to activities and day trips.
It’s an easy way to see what’s available at your destination, compare options, and plan some of the best parts of your trip.

Why We Chose
Chase Sapphire Reserve
There are a lot of travel credit cards out there...
After comparing the Chase Sapphire Reserve with other premium travel cards, including American Express Platinum, Capital One Venture X, and Citi AAdvantage Executive, this is the one that made the most sense for our family.
The deciding factor for us was airport lounge access. By adding my husband as an Authorized User, all five of us can enjoy lounge access when we travel together.
The benefits we love most: ✨
✈️ Airport lounge access
💳 Annual travel credit
🌎 Global Entry / TSA PreCheck credit
🏨 Hotel status & perks
🚗 Car rental status and benefits
🎯 Points for flights, hotels and cruises
🛡️ Travel protections and trip coverage
This is the card we personally use and recommend.

The eSIM I Used
in Europe
Staying connected while traveling is one thing I don’t want to worry about. During our Europe trip, I used a Holafly eSIM, and I loved how easy it was.
I installed it before the trip, turned it on when we arrived, and had data while traveling between countries - without changing physical SIM cards or worrying about international roaming.
Holafly offers eSIM plans for Europe with unlimited data and coverage across 33 countries.
