Smart Planning. Smoother Travel.
I’m Angelica—New England-based mom, traveler, and planner by habit. I created Optimized Trips for people who want their time off to feel worth it, without spending 15 hours comparing hotel or second-guessing every booking.

Whether you’re squeezing in a long weekend or finally taking that big family cruise, I share practical tips, tested itineraries, and honest insights to help you plan with more confidence and less stress.

This blog isn’t about over planning every second—it’s about making decisions that work for your trip, your people, and the time you actually have.
