Hi, I’m Dawn — nurse, wife, mom, grandmother, and travel advisor. I’ve learned that it’s never too late to start something new, and that’s exactly where New Adventures with Dawn began.

​

✈️ My Love of Travel

Travel, family, and making memories have always been at the heart of my life. My love of travel began long before I ever imagined becoming a travel advisor. I grew up with a dad who was a pilot for more than 30 years, so airplanes, traveling, and adventure were simply a part of my childhood. In many ways, he gave me more than a love of seeing new places—he gave me a love of the journey itself.

​

Some of my most treasured memories are the ones made with my family, and that’s why travel has always meant so much more to me than simply going somewhere new. To me, travel is about the people beside you, the laughter along the way, the unexpected moments, and the memories that stay with you long after you’ve returned home. It’s about the stories you tell for years to come and the people who become part of those stories.

​

And perhaps that’s why cruising holds such a special place in my heart. My dad and I shared a love of cruising, and even though he is no longer here, I still feel close to him whenever I’m on a ship. There’s something about being surrounded by the ocean, feeling the breeze, and looking out at the endless horizon that brings me back to him. Sometimes I can almost imagine him right there beside me, sharing the excitement of another adventure.

​

So when I cruise today, I’m not just traveling to a new destination. I’m carrying a piece of my dad with me. Every ocean, every port, and every new adventure is another memory I get to make—and somehow, it feels like he’s still part of the journey. ❤️

✨ A New Chapter

The “New” in New Adventures with Dawn also reflects my own personal journey. Over the last few years, I’ve changed in ways I never expected, including losing more than 50 pounds. That journey didn’t just transform my body; it transformed how I see myself and my future. I feel happier, healthier, and ready for whatever comes next.

I’m not looking back anymore. I’m looking forward.

 

🌎 Why I Started New Adventures with Dawn

I created this space to help others discover their own adventures — whether it’s a dream cruise, a bucket‑list destination, a family trip, or a new chapter in life. Travel doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes you just need someone to help you figure out where to go, when to go, and how to make it all come together.

That’s where I come in.

 

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Memories That Last

Travel is about more than places — it’s about people. I love traveling with my husband, and making memories with my family. The best things we give each other aren’t things at all. They’re experiences, stories, photos, and “remember when…” moments that last forever.

I want to help other families create those moments too.

 

❤️ Your Adventure Is Waiting

If my story reminds you of anything, let it be this:

You are never too old to start something new.

You can grow, change, rediscover yourself, and chase dreams you thought were out of reach. Your past doesn’t define your future — and your adventures aren’t behind you.

They might be just beginning.

New Adventures with Dawn is about travel, family, memories, and discovering new places — and sometimes a new version of yourself along the way.

Whether you’re dreaming of a cruise, a European getaway, a family vacation, or simply something new…

​

I’d love to help you find your next adventure.

Welcome to New Adventures with Dawn. I’m so glad you’re here. ❤️
