Hi, I’m Dawn! I’ve loved travel since planning my first solo trip to Japan at 19, but some of my favorite adventures have been the ones I’ve taken with my son, showing him life outside of what he’s always known. My favorite destinations are the ones filled with color—especially places with unique street markets brimming with local crafts, clothing, and spices. For me, family travel is all about expanding kids' minds and giving them a glimpse of the big, diverse world beyond their daily lives.

After 16 years in horticulture, I decided to shift to the travel industry to help families have these same experiences, safely stepping outside their comfort zones. Through Lemon Squeeze Adventures, I get to help parents create stress-free, memorable escapes, where all that’s left to do is soak in the adventure together. When I’m not planning trips, you’ll find me digging in the garden, buried in a romantacy novel, or dreaming up my next big journey!
