Once upon a time, a little girl who dreamed of castles, fireworks, and a world where everyone, no matter their needs, could feel the magic of travel. That little girl grew up, and today, sheās me: Sheila Smith, travel advisor and founder of Believe You Can Travel.
Iāve always believed that travel is more than a vacation. Itās a dream in motion. And sometimes, those dreams come from the hearts of families whoāve faced more than their share of challenges. Thatās why Iām honored to work alongside the nonprofit organization Practically Perfect Wishes & Dreams, www.practicallyperfectwishes.com, to help bring those dreams to life.

How I Support Practically Perfect Wishes & Dreams
While Iām not part of the nonprofit itself, I have the incredible privilege of working with families whose travel wishes have been granted by Practically Perfect Wishes & Dreams. Once a wish is approved, I step up to help make the experience seamless, joyful, and truly unforgettable.
As a Certified Autism Travel Professional, Accessible Advocate, and Elite Agent, I specialize in accessible, sensory-friendly, and inclusive travel planning. My role is to take the familyās dream and turn it into a real, tangible journey, one filled with ease, comfort, and moments theyāll remember forever.
From selecting the right cruise or resort to coordinating mobility needs, dietary accommodations, and sensory considerations, I handle the details so families can focus on the magic.

A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes
And I believe every heart deserves to see that wish come true.
Whether itās a child dreaming of meeting their favorite character, a teen longing to sail the open sea, or a parent hoping to see their child smile without worry, Iām here to help make it happen. I listen closely, plan thoughtfully, and advocate fiercely to ensure every family feels seen, supported, and celebrated.
Because magic isnāt just in the destination. Itās in the journey, the laughter, the quiet moments of awe, and the joy of knowing someone cared enough to make it all possible.

Why This Work Matters
Helping families fulfill their travel dreams is the most meaningful work I do. These are not just trips. They are long-awaited dreams, often made possible after years of medical appointments, therapies, and daily challenges.
To be trusted with that kind of hope is humbling. And to watch those dreams unfold? Thatās the real magic.
