Today we’d like to introduce you to Stephanie and Colleen Meredith.
Hi Stephanie and Colleen, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
My name is Stephanie Meredith, my wife Colleen and I were married on Indian Rocks Beach on the Gulf in July of 2020. I am a registered nurse and we are moms of 4 amazing kids. Our love for travel connected us from the very beginning. Experiencing new destinations and learning as much as we can about the world has always been our personal goal and the idea of experiencing it together makes our future plans even more exciting. Some thought we were crazy to start a travel business during a pandemic but we were determined, covid brides on a mission to follow our passion. We knew that we wanted to continue to do what we love and we wanted to help others do the same. Whether you’re vacationing in Orlando or visiting family and friends, travel is essential and we felt there wasn’t a better time to enter the travel industry. Our goal is to help people continue with their adventures and creating memories with their families safely. We opened our business on International Women’s Day, March 8, 2021. Since then, we have helped many travelers check off their bucket list vacations while taking the proper precautions concerning Covid and all the while, getting to do what we love!
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
We feel that obstacles are a part of our life experience and shift us in the direction we need to follow. As gay, married women living in a divided country, opening our own business posed some challenges but connecting with the LGBTQ+ communities and staying true to ourselves and our goals has helped us overcome our difficulties.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
Zenventure Travel specializes in planning and booking Orlando vacations and destination weddings. We take care of all the details from start to finish with an emphasis on current Covid conditions and how to travel safely.
What makes you happy?
As travel professionals, looking forward to the next destination is part of the job but the real reward has been finding happiness in each moment. We are happiest when we are creating memories with our children, whether we are on a vacation or a “staycaction.” Learning about new destinations and planning our next adventure together is a part of our everyday lives and we are so thankful for that!
