Meet Our Founder
Erin Smith
Working in travel planning since 2015, I take pride in providing the expertise needed to craft vacations perfectly tailored to each of my clients. I founded Gotta Skedaddle Travel LLC in 2022 with the goal of being the leading travel agency designing honeymoons, family travel, and group trips that unite travelers, enrich lives, and foster a deeper appreciation for the world.
Travel has always played a meaningful role in my life. Growing up, I made frequent trips to Disney World and explored a variety of destinations both in the U.S. and abroad with my parents. Today, I continue that passion with my husband, Kevin, and our daughters, Hannah and Shayna. Together, we love the adventure of discovering the Caribbean — sometimes by cruise, other times by hopping on a flight — always chasing new experiences in places like Aruba, Mexico, and St. Maarten/Martin. Our annual adventures to Disney and Universal Studios remain a family favorite. When we’re not setting sail or catching a flight, we enjoy hiking—often with our dogs, Ajax and Eliza—and spending time relaxing down the Shore.
I love sharing my passion for travel with my clients and removing all the guesswork so they can relax and enjoy their adventures to the fullest. There's nothing better than making a client's dream vacation come true!

Growing up in Philadelphia in a lower-middle-class family, my early travel experiences were limited to camping trips with the Boy Scouts and a memorable visit to Disney World when I was eight. My true passion for travel was ignited during my nine-year service in the U.S. Navy, where I had the opportunity to explore destinations that many only dream of. From standing in awe of the Burj Al Arab in Dubai to admiring the breathtaking views of Mount Etna in Sicily, those experiences—although not vacations—left an indelible mark on me. Today, I cherish every moment spent traveling with my loving wife Erin and our two beautiful daughters, Hannah and Shayna. We seize every opportunity to explore new and exotic locations, whether driving UTVs on the beaches of Aruba or indulging in the culinary delights of the Disney Food and Wine Festival at Epcot. We strive to instill a sense of wonder in our children through these adventures. At Gotta Skedaddle Travel LLC, nothing brings me greater joy than helping clients create unforgettable experiences. We all have vacation dreams—let us help make yours a reality.

Since embarking on my first trip in 2012, I have been passionate about travel. During my twenties, I had the chance to explore numerous countries, mainly in Europe, with some memorable visits to the Caribbean. One of my most remarkable experiences was a solo three-month journey across Europe in 2018, which allowed me to immerse myself in diverse cultures and experiences far beyond the familiarity of home. The world is brimming with wonders waiting to be discovered. Now, I share my love for travel with my wonderful family—my husband Tom and our daughter Adelaide. Despite having a young child, our adventures continue. Last year, we visited the Canary Islands when Adelaide was just six months old. Although she may not remember the trip, the memories we created are invaluable, and I look forward to many more family adventures. Helping friends and family find exceptional travel deals has always been a joy for me, and transitioning to a career as a travel agent has been a natural and exciting progression. I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to help you plan and experience your trip of a lifetime!

Travel has always been an integral part of my life. Born just outside of Philadelphia, I grew up with annual summer vacations to various destinations across the country with my parents and siblings. My passion for travel continued into college, where I frequently traveled with friends. Each spring break, we chose a different cruise or all-inclusive resort to visit. The summer before my senior year, I took the opportunity to explore Europe extensively. After marrying my husband, Arthur, we spent the first few years of our marriage traveling to all-inclusive resorts and popular destinations around the country. Now, with our amazing daughter, Peyton, our travel adventures have evolved. My lifelong love for Disney World has been embraced by my family, and we now make annual trips together. My experiences as a visitor, athlete, and coach at Disney World have only deepened my appreciation for its magic. I am passionate about ensuring that all my clients have the most extraordinary travel experiences possible. I am excited to help others discover and enjoy the incredible travel destinations I have come to know and love. I have been planning large group trips for just under a decade and have expanded my expertise to all- inclusives, Disney, Europe, and island adventures. I strive to create the most magical experiences for all of my clients within any budget type. I look forward to assisting you in creating unforgettable travel memories.

Travel has been my passion since my very first big adventure — a senior‑year trip to Disney that sparked a lifelong love of exploring the world. In my twenties, friends & I wandered through Honolulu’s beaches and the vibrant islands of the Caribbean, collecting memories that I would keep close to my heart. Now, I get to share that passion with my favorite travel companions: my husband Billy, our son Nicholas, and our daughter Jenna. Even with little ones in tow, we jumped into family adventures early — from Lake George and Six Flags parks to the indoor waterparks of the Pocono Mountains. Our first truly unforgettable getaway was a Norwegian Nickelodeon cruise, where we sailed the high seas with SpongeBob, Patrick, Dora, and Diego. The kids were instantly hooked on cruising, and honestly… so was I! After several more Caribbean sailings, we were lucky enough to experience the very first Disney Marvel Halloween on the High Seas — an absolutely magical trip filled with memories we still talk about. Travel has given my family priceless moments and helping others create those same unforgettable experiences brings me so much joy. Whether you’re dreaming of a relaxing escape, a family adventure, or the trip of a lifetime, I’m here to help you find the perfect destination — and the best deals — with enthusiasm and expertise. Let’s start planning your next great adventure!

Having worked in the travel industry since 2016, and with more than 25 years of customer service expertise, I am passionate about helping families create incredible memories through seamless and unforgettable trips. Born and raised in New England, I still call this beautiful region home, sharing it with my beloved fur babies. Travel opportunities were limited when I was growing up, so I’m making up for that now! Disney has always held a special place in my heart. Although I didn't visit Disney until I was 25, I have since made over 40 trips and spent 13 years as a Cast Member. My love for Disney is a driving force in my life and career! In addition to Disney, I have a deep appreciation for the vibrant cultures and stunning landscapes of Mexico and the Caribbean. These destinations offer endless opportunities for exploration and enjoyment. My goal is to provide you with the best, stress-free vacation experience, filled with lifelong memories. I am excited to help you plan your dream trip and make every moment unforgettable.
