MY MISSION
I believe that travel is so much more than a brief escape from your inbox or a hurried break between projects.
Memorable Moments Travel Partners was founded with one mission in mind: to remind people—especially hardworking adults—that self-care isn’t selfish, and that PTO isn’t just a benefit, it’s a necessity.
I’m Paris
OWNER OF MEMORABLE MOMENTS TRAVEL PARTNERS
My name is Paris, and I proudly go by The PTO Planner. I’m a self-proclaimed workaholic who spent too many years prioritizing productivity over personal peace. If you’re someone who thrives on heartfelt stories and real-life lessons, I’d love to share mine with you.
A few years ago, life looked picture-perfect on the outside. I had just bought my dream home, was in a long-term relationship, and thought I had it all figured out. As a former foster child, I felt called to give back. And like any true workaholic, I went all in—I became a board member of FAPA, was raising my biological daughter, four dogs, and four foster children (one of whom was autistic), all while working full-time and playing the role of emotional glue for everyone involved.

It was during a normal workday that everything changed.
I found myself in a bathroom stall, gasping for air, unable to emotionally ground myself. That moment of burnout was the wake-up call I didn’t know I needed. From there, things unraveled—my job, my relationship, my health. And for the first time in a long time, all I had was me.
That breaking point led me to build a life rooted in balance and boundaries. I now make it my mission to encourage others to take their well-earned time off and invest it in themselves. I still work hard, but I plan one vacation each quarter—a moment to reset, recharge, and remind myself that I deserve joy just as much as anyone else.

Memorable Moments Travel Partners is more than a travel agency—it’s a movement.
A nudge to take that trip, book that flight, and use those PTO hours for what they were meant for: you.
So if you’ve ever said, “I’ll rest later” or “Now’s not the right time”, let this be your sign. Give yourself permission to pause. Let’s plan something memorable together.
With love and a passport in hand,
Paris
