Meet the Owner, Velia Kennedy
When I became a wife and mother of two I knew I wanted to make traveling a priority. In my eyes the quality time, learning, and fulfilment that came from traveling wasn’t a want… it was a need. We were a young family with small funds so this meant some level of sacrifice in order for us to travel at least once a year. We ate pasta over prime rib and skipped the pedicures and expensive hair appointments. We budgeted travel expenses into our monthly budget and didn’t waiver. That allowed us to take family vacations and mini parent getaways to Walt Disney World yearly (sometimes more), New Orleans, Clearwater Beach, Dallas, Charleston, Nantucket, and more!
As we became more established in our careers and smashed our piles of student debt our traveling became more frequent and bucket list kept growing. Others came to me often for traveling advice, tips, how to book, and more. I grew a passion for helping others plan some amazing vacations with their families and knew I had to do this in a bigger way. After being in the travel industry as a travel agent for about 3 years I was able to make my dream of operating my own travel agency a reality! That is how Modern Family Travel LLC was born and I can’t wait to help you turn your dream vacations into a reality!
