Hi, I’m Tina, also known as Travel Girl Tina.
I’m a psychology student at Southern New Hampshire University, working toward my bachelor’s degree from my home in Concord, New Hampshire. I’m also a travel advisor, and I have an overwhelming passion for travel and for helping others see the world.
I’m a momma of four, and my youngest two are neurodivergent. Parenting them has shaped how I see the world and how I plan trips. Travel can work beautifully for every kind of family, and I love helping families find the version that fits theirs.
Psychology taught me to be curious about why people think, feel, and act the way they do. Travel puts that curiosity into practice. Every new place, language, and meal shows me another way of seeing life, and I come home a little changed each time.
My top destinations
• New York City: Believe it or not, this city brought me alive. I had the best time of my life.
• Vermont: My place to reflect and relax.
• Dominican Republic: Just so beautiful.
I’ve also explored Mexico, Florida, and Myrtle Beach, with so many more trips still to go.
My bucket list
• Hawaii: Sunrise above the clouds, sea turtles in clear water, and the slow rhythm of island life.
• The Caribbean: Turquoise water, warm sand, and easy days with nothing to do but soak it all in.
• Alaska: Glaciers, wildlife, and wide-open wilderness that feels like another world.
• Arizona: Red rock canyons, desert sunsets, and landscapes unlike anything in New England.
• All the national parks: Every one of them, from towering mountains to winding rivers and ancient forests.
You don’t have to leave the country
We often think an amazing trip means a passport and a long flight. But we have it all right here, from mountains and beaches to big cities and quiet small towns. I want to help you see that the trip of a lifetime may be closer than you think.
What you’ll find here
• Travel stories and the lessons I take from each trip
• Inspiration for your next destination, near or far
• Family travel ideas, including thoughtful planning for neurodivergent kids
• Reflections on how travel shapes the way we think and grow
