- Our last name, Singletary
- We sing and dance A LOT in our house; it’s a favorite pastime of the girls
- We love to travel! Every time the suitcases come out, we all get excited about our next adventure.
- Lastly, I read a book once called Whistle While you Work: Heeding Your Life’s Calling about how doing what you love and have a passion for means that work feels less like work and more like a true calling. I’ve been waiting a long time to launch my own company that helps others discover the wonder of travel. I sing every day I get to help someone’s travel dreams come true!

Can it really be a vacation when I’m traveling with my young ones?
We believe the answer is yes! That’s the whole reason why we exist as a resource for you! While it’s true that you’ll still be parenting your children on a trip, there are ways a trip can be fun and relaxing while your children are in tow. But for those times when you need a kid-free adventure, we love planning getaways to rejuvenate and relax the weariest parents.

The short answer is nothing! Booking your next family vacation through the Singing Suitcase means the vendors, (hotels, cruise lines, etc.), pay a commission that doesn’t impact your trip cost at all. If you choose to work with us for consultation or coaching and book yourself, then we charge a fee for our services. Read the details about our fees on our Pricing page.

I'm not traveling with kids or other family, can you still help me plan a trip?
Of course! I’m passionate about helping parents have the tools and support to travel with their kids, but honestly, I’m happy to help anyone check a destination off their bucket list! I’d love to talk with you about your plans and help you make them become a reality.
