Hi, I’m Carrie Childers.

I am Carrie, behind Magical Adventures by Carrie! I am a lover of all things adventure, good food, fishing, homemade whipped cream for my coffee, and ultimately, spending quality time with my people!

Some Fun facts about me-

1. I keep my suitcases ready in the guest room closet- I love to fly!

2. I am usually planning my next adventure before l'm even home from my current trip.

3. My husband and I met and married in three weeks & now almost 23 years married I am happily married to my best friend, Jarrett. He's my favorite adventure buddy. We have two amazing sons, Noah and Isaac, 2 beautiful Daughter in laws Adison and Elyssa, And my new favorite title is GRAMMY to Jubilee (2) and Noah Andrew (6 months).

My favorite adventure destinations to plan are all things Europe, River Cruising, Honeymoons, All inclusive, Disney and Universal, but I do most ALL travel planning. I've been a Travel Advisor since 2018 and I think the most SURPRISING thing I still hear is how many people don't realize that a travel advisor is included in their price when they book trip. It comes at zero cost to the client. So before that next trip, reach out! I'll work with you and all my services are completely free!

What is a travel advisor?

Great question!

Travel advisors have the knowledge, training and connections to know which hotels, resorts and tour guides would work best for you! Our expanded portfolio includes vetted companies and tour companies that we know have excellent service. All this is to enhance your trip with one-of-a-kind experiences, tailored to your desires, that you won’t find on your own. We will also be there to smooth out problems that might occur along the way. Plus, we often have access to special rates, discounts and perks, such as complimentary upgraded room or cabin categories, free breakfasts and VIP treatment. How do you know I’m up to date with the best travel offers and suggestions?

As a knowledgeable professional I take time to attend conferences with Suppliers, read travel journals, take online courses, and attend familiarization trips so that I can learn about each destination and experience it. I also build relationships with other Vendors and suppliers so that we partner together to build the best trip for you.

What is the process like when I’m ready to start working with you?

Once you are ready to starting planning your next adventure, use my contact form and send me your information and we will get started! Share your travel goals, budget, and preferences with me, so that I can understand your needs and provide personalized recommendations. Examples include: Travel style (e.g. relaxed, active, foodie), Interests (e.g. history, culture, nature), Any specific activities or experiences you want to have, Budget per person for accommodations, meals, and activities.

After that, I’ll work on some itineraries/quotes for you. Once we nail down the perfect one, let’s book it! Then I’m with you through out the whole process- waiting on your trips arrival, during the Adventure and the return home.
