Our Story
We love to travel.
Meet Valerie
Just a small town girl with big dreams
It all started when I was a little girl in New Mexico and got in trouble at my grandparent’s house. I don’t remember what I did, but I had to go sit in the corner.
That would change my life!
My grandma had a basket of National Geographic magazines in that corner and I loved reading them. I quickly realized that being “in trouble” was fun! That was the beginning of my passion for travel.
It wasn’t just a passing phase—it became a way of life. Eventually, Storymakers Travel was born. After years of exploring over 25 countries, I learned that the best stories aren’t found in guidebooks—they’re made in the moment.
Turning dream destinations into seamless, unforgettable journey is what I do. Whether it’s a luxurious European river cruise, a romantic escape to Hawaii, or an exotic Asian adventure, I am here to help.
I understand that sometimes the first step in planning an awesome vacation is the hardest. Where do you go? What do you do? More than anything, I want you to have a great experience and know that I will always advocate for your needs.
The memories you make on your vacation are the stories you will share with your friends and family for life, and this is important.
Meet Colleen
Travel has always meant freedom to me—the freedom to explore, to dream, and to discover the world in all its beauty. It all started when I was just 10 years old, pouring over maps and imagining the places I would see someday.
Years later, I turned that curiosity into a career and now I help others create their own unforgettable memories. Whether it’s a bucket-list adventure, a family vacation, or a once-in-a-lifetime journey, I approach every trip with the same passion that first sparked my love for exploration.
I believe travel is about more than just destinations—it’s about the stories you bring home and the moments that stay with you forever. With me by your side, you’re not just booking a trip—you’re starting a new chapter in your life’s story.

Meet Emily
I’ve always loved Disney for the magic it brings to life—the way it makes you feel like anything is possible, no matter your age. From the very first time I walked down Main Street, U.S.A., with the sights, sounds, and smells pulling me into a storybook world, I was hooked. Disney isn’t just about theme parks or movies—it’s about creating lifelong memories, sharing joy with family and friends, and experiencing a sense of wonder that stays with you long after the vacation ends. That love for Disney has only deepened since experiencing it through the eyes of my family. Whether it’s watching my kids laugh during a character breakfast or ending the day with fireworks and happy hearts, every Disney trip has given us cherished moments.
It’s this deep, personal connection to Disney that inspired me to become a Disney travel agent. I know how overwhelming planning can feel, and I love taking that stress off your plate so you can focus on the fun. From booking the perfect resort and securing dining reservations to finding the best parade spots and Genie+ tips, I take care of the details so you don’t have to.
