My Story
Sommer Sloneker – Travel Consultant
Helping Families, Couples and Explorers Experience the World
Helping Families, Couples, and Explorers Experience the World
My love of travel began at nine years old when my parents took me to Disney World. It was at Epcot’s World Showcase that I first glimpsed the beauty and wonder of other cultures — and I was hooked. From that moment on, I knew I wanted to dedicate my life to helping others experience the magic of travel.
That dream took flight in college, when I worked for the Disney Company and began informally planning trips for friends and family. After graduating, I officially entered the travel industry — first as a travel agent, then as an international tour director with Tauck Tours for 12 incredible years.
As a guide, I led guests on journeys across five continents, running 12 unique itineraries that included small-ship cruising in Australia and New Zealand, land tours through France, Ireland, Alaska, and the U.S., and river cruises and safari adventures. I especially loved working on Tauck’s family tours, where I saw the joy of multi-generational travel — with guests from age 3 to 93 — creating memories together.
Homeschooling / Worldschooling
World-schooling is homeschooling in the world. We believe our family will grow by experiencing this world beyond a classroom setting. We homeschool our children with the flexibility to learn anywhere we are. We launched a digital service for finding education resources and recording a digital folio at Learner’s Folio.
