Hi, I’m Laura — a boy mom and passionate traveler based in Wisconsin. Our family’s journey with cystic fibrosis has shaped the way we see the world and how we move through it. I’ve spent years volunteering, fundraising, and advocating for the CF community, driven by a deep belief that medical challenges shouldn’t keep families from making lifelong memories together.

Before launching We Travel Anyway, I worked in IT and business analysis, which gave me the skills (and spreadsheets!) to plan complex travel with confidence. Our family has explored destinations across the U.S., Canada and Europe while managing cystic fibrosis, food allergies, and other medical needs and I’m here to show you that with the right support, travel is not only possible, it’s empowering.

Whether you're dreaming of national parks, coastal getaways, or European adventures, I’m here to help you create unforgettable trips that meet your family’s unique needs — because life doesn’t wait and We Travel Anyway.

Hi, I’m Christy — teacher, mom of two wild and adventurous boys, and Laura’s sister/chief logistics officer. While she’s out here writing blog posts and looking adorable on camera, I’m usually behind the scenes with a spreadsheet, a packing list, and a snack bag big enough to feed a baseball team.

I’ve got a master’s in Digital Communications and a deep love for things like color-coded itineraries and finding the one Airbnb in Europe that has both a washer and a dryer (you’re welcome). I’m also the one who’s been by Laura’s side through the ups, downs, and airport meltdowns of traveling with cystic fibrosis in the mix — usually laughing along the way, because honestly, it’s the only way through.

Together, we’ve planned epic trips that somehow manage to be fun, flexible, and functional — even when half the group needs meds, naps, or an emergency gelato. From mapping out multi-country adventures to making sure the snacks are equally distributed, I’m all in for helping families find joy in the journey, no matter how messy (or magical) it gets.
