Welcome! I’m Erin!

I’m a travel writer, Disney enthusiast, and major bookworm who believes travel and reading are the best ways to connect with, understand, and love our world.

Whether I’m exploring National Parks, sailing on a Disney Cruise, or strolling through the streets of Europe, I’m here to share tips based on my own travel experiences that will make trips with your family the best they can be.

Here on Flying Off the Bookshelf you’ll find everything from detailed itineraries to honest hotel reviews to lists of books you can use to explore the world further.

The world is always open to you, whether you are planning your next vacation or just need to escape through the pages of a great book.

And I’m here to help you make it happen.

A little about me:

I’ve been blogging for over 14 years (I used to run a food blog that I like to say I learned all my blogging lessons on for what *not* to do for a successful business).

Flying Off the Bookshelf began in 2020 when I also working as a freelance copywriter for business and engineering clients. I wanted to expand my portfolio of travel-related writing, so I decided to start my own site. I thought it might lead to some fun copywriting opportunities, but instead it became it’s own business!

I’m from Huntsville, Alabama (and am a Visit North Alabama Ambassador!), but I’ve traveled all over the world and the country…with tons more left to explore!

I love the joy of discovering new places and learning new things. And I hope Flying Off the Bookshelf can help you plan stress-free trips and vacations full of family memories!
