Hey, there! I'm Rena!I took my first airplane ride as a 2 lb, 1 oz premature baby at just a few hours old. Of course, I don't remember it, but I like to think that life-saving flight is where my love for travel began. As I grew, my parents were able to take me on wonderful adventures that expanded my education, taught me life lessons, and gave me life-long memories that we still laugh and reminisce about today. As an adult, I wanted to continue the tradition of travel with my husband and we were able to take some amazing trips (including my first cruise) before our son was born.
In early 2019, I was a full-time respiratory therapist and realized I was not giving my son the life I'd dreamed for him. So I left the medical field for the world of travel and the rest, as they say, is history. At Latitude Travel Planning, we believe in the Og Mandino quote: "The greatest legacy we can leave our children is happy memories". So our passion is helping you make happy memories, experience new cultures, take on new adventures, conquer your fears, and do things you've never done with those you love. We want you to leave the greatest legacy. |
