Why families choose Story & Co. Family Travel

Discover what sets us apart. I believe the best family stories are written on the river, in the woods, and around the campfire. We're here to help you create unforgettable adventures, free from stress and full of connection, for every generation and every ability.

Crafting your family's unique narrative

At Story & Co. Family Travel, I don't just plan trips; I help write chapters in your family's history. Inspired by the legacy of Tom Story and those unforgettable Mississippi River summers, I approach every journey with the heart of a storyteller. I focus on the "narrative" of your family, ensuring each adventure builds shared experiences where the world slows down, and connection takes center stage—helping families recreate that feeling where phones go away and the only thing that matters is shared time.

Dedicated to Veterans and Military Families

We honor the dedication of our service members and veterans. When planning your multi-generational getaway or retreat, we provide dedicated military rate optimization, veteran discount tracking, and specialized itinerary support.
Furthermore, having spent years as a professional and family caregiver, I understand firsthand that traveling with mobility challenges, medical equipment, or pacing needs requires a higher level of care. We design journeys that remove the mental load of caregiving, ensuring that every family member feels supported, safe, and included.

Effortless planning for every generation

Planning a family vacation with different ages, energy levels, and physical needs can be complex, but I make it easy and stress-free:

  • The "Choice, Not Chores" Approach: We provide 2–3 pre-vetted options tailored to your family, preventing decision fatigue while making everyone feel involved.

  • Active-Safe & Tiered Vetting: I personally vet intensity levels, accessibility features, and medical logistics so that adventures are accessible for all—ensuring no one feels left behind or held back.

  • Transition-Proof Logistics ("Anchor & Pivot"): We handle all the in-between moments. Enjoy a central "Anchor Activity" for the whole group, backed up by flexible "Pivot Options" and energy stops to keep everyone happy and moving at their own pace.

Transforming your time together

What families love most about traveling with Story & Co. Family Travel is how we transform their time together. I bridge the gap between rugged, "grit-and-saltwater" activities and deep, soulful connection. You don't have to choose between a relaxing getaway and an active adventure. With me, you get the thrill of the outdoors, the comfort of a perfectly vetted "basecamp," and the peace of mind that every family member is the hero of their own chapter.

For travel components where suppliers do not offer built-in commissions (such as standalone flights, private vacation rentals, or wholesale suppliers), a upfront service fee applies. We will always discuss and agree upon any fees before starting your research and booking process. These fees are non refundable.
