Let’s be honest—planning a family vacation can feel like a second full-time job.
Between comparing hotels, searching for kid-friendly activities, figuring out flights, budgeting, and hoping it all actually works out… it’s a lot. Add in a full-time job or parenting (or both), and suddenly that “dream trip” starts to feel more stressful than fun.
That’s where I come in.
I’m Alana O’Neal—a mom, certified travel advisor, and co-owner of Adventure with DNA, a family-run travel agency that specializes in planning real-life, stress-free vacations for families. Whether you’re dreaming of an all-inclusive resort, a kid-friendly cruise, or a once-in-a-lifetime getaway, I’m here to help make it happen—without the overwhelm.
Here’s what it’s actually like to work with a travel advisor like me (and why it might be the best travel decision you’ve ever made).
I Save You Time, Energy & Sanity
Ever spent hours reading hotel reviews and still didn’t know what to book? You’re not alone.
As a family travel agent, I’ve already done the research. I know which resorts are toddler-friendly, which cruises have kids’ clubs, and which destinations have the best bang for your buck. Instead of endless Googling, you get a customized itinerary built around your needs—fast.
Everything Is Tailored to Your Family
Every family is different—and your vacation should reflect that.
When you book with me, you’re not getting a cookie-cutter itinerary. You’re getting a trip built around your family’s needs: nap schedules, picky eaters, sensory-friendly activities, stroller access, special occasions—you name it.
And since I’m a mom myself, I plan like a mom. I think about downtime, snack breaks, and space to breathe—because that’s what makes the difference between a stressful trip and a fun, relaxing one.
I Help You Book with Confidence (And Back You Up When Things Go Sideways)
One of the biggest benefits of working with a travel advisor? You’re not on your own.
If your flight gets canceled, your cruise itinerary changes, or your hotel mix-up needs fixing—I’m here. I advocate for you, solve problems fast, and deal with the travel companies so you don’t have to.
You Don’t Pay Me—The Travel Companies Do
Here’s the part most people don’t realize: you don’t pay extra to use a travel advisor.
I’m paid by the hotels, cruise lines, and travel companies after you book—so you get expert planning at no extra cost.
And in many cases, I can actually save you money with exclusive offers, group rates, or bonus perks you wouldn’t get booking on your own.
5. I Make Travel Planning Feel Easy (Like It Should Be)
At the end of the day, I’m not just a vacation planner. I’m a mom who gets it.
When you work with me, you’re not getting a sales pitch. You’re getting a partner who genuinely wants to help your family have the best experience possible. I care about the little details, and I take time to understand what matters to you—because that’s what makes a vacation truly memorable.
Whether you’re dreaming of a Disney trip, a family cruise, a weekend getaway, or your first big trip in years—I’ve got you.
