Hello! I am Courtney

The coffee-fueled (Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew, please!) force behind World In Four Days. If you’re here, it’s probably because you’re just as obsessed with travel, parenting, and manifesting your best life as I am. And if you’re not—well, you will be soon!

I’m a single mom raising my fabulous teen, Reese, and navigating life with ADHD (both hers and mine—double the fun!). We’re all about adventure, whether it’s a luxury getaway, a solo self-care trip, or just exploring our local Arizona gems. I’ve spent over a decade showing other moms (especially those doing it solo) how to make travel possible and magical—even with teenagers who think they know everything.

When I’m not planning our next escape or running around with my adorable dog, Arlo, I’m diving deep into the world of manifestation. Seriously, it’s changed my life. Vision boards, affirmations, scripting—you name it, I’ve probably tried it (and posted about it). Manifestation isn’t just some trendy buzzword for me; it’s how I turned my dreams of travel and life experiences into reality. I’m proof that a little bit of belief and a lot of determination can take you places—literally and figuratively.

So, whether you’re here for travel tips, parenting hacks, or to see what my latest manifestation success story is, you’re in the right place. Buckle up—this journey is one heck of a ride, and I’m so excited to have you along for it!
