A little more about Madison...

Kungaloosh, friends! I’m Madison, an agent with Wishes Family Travel. I’m probably a lot like you—I live in South Carolina with my husband and two grey cats, and I work as an accountant by day. I’m also an aspiring writer, a chronic nail-biter, and an occasional Epcot World Showcase imbiber. If I'm not working, I’m likely checking Disney wait times during my lunch break, and nothing makes me happier than when things run smoothly (except maybe a loaded pretzel from Jock Lindsey’s). Above all, I love sharing the magic of travel with family and friends.

As a former auditor-turned-accountant-turned-travel agent, I take pride in doing things the right way—especially when it comes to planning your trip. I know that PTO is precious, and time is our most valuable resource. That’s why I pour myself into researching destinations, accommodations, and travel best practices so you don’t have to. My passion for planning and efficiency means that I can craft a seamless experience for you, so you can focus on what truly matters: making memories and enjoying your travels.

But it's not all spreadsheets and itineraries. When I took my first trip to Walt Disney World as an adult in 2022, I ugly cried on Soarin' Around the World. I’d planned every detail, and when it all came together—my husband had the best birthday trip ever, and I got to experience the magic for the first time—I felt a powerful, human connection to travel. It reminded me that the essence of travel is about more than just visiting new places; it’s about reconnecting with ourselves and each other.

As Jon Krakauer once said, "The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun." I look forward to helping you find that joy in your next adventure!
