About My Virtual Vacations


Why My Virtual Vacations For PR?

I'm Alyson, the creator behind this blog, where I share our family’s love for travel, especially cruising. By day, I work full-time in an office—and all the time, I'm a proud mom to two amazing young men. We took our first cruise when they were energetic little boys, and I’ve included plenty of tips for traveling with kids in tow.
It was through this love of travel that I started My Virtual Vacations. My friends and family have always asked me questions about planning a cruise or family vacation and I truly enjoy helping them. This started the idea to put all of my information in one place. I'm a planner and crave to know as much information as I can about a destination before I visit. Travel can be expensive, especially luxury travel, and you should know exactly what you are getting ahead of time. 
You'll genuinely appreciate working with My Virtual Vacations. Always responsive, enthusiastic, and incredibly detailed, I strive to have fantastic relationships with my partners. Why? Part of the joy of traveling to me is sharing it with others and that includes my audience, as well as my associates.   
We are located in Baltimore, Maryland and all of our beautiful photographs are creatively captured by my talented husband/professional photographer at JNachman Photo. With diverse talents and tastes of our family, we travel together as My Virtual Vacations.
All articles on My Virtual Vacations are written by me. I do not accept collaborations. Please know that as I received numerous requests, I will not respond to requests for collaborations. I'm happy to consider endorsements, familiarization visits, etc. However, they will be my honest opinions and accounts. Thank you for considering My Virtual Vacations! ​
