Hi, I'm Kayla!
Creator of Golden Light Adventures

I'm a Magic Maker with Once Upon A Time Vacations. 

I specialize in all Disney destinations, Universal, all cruise lines and all-inclusive resorts! 

Our son, Gus, fought childhood cancer for 3.5 years. He ran into the arms of Jesus in November 2022 at 6 years old. Gus was a light and absolutely loved going on vacations with us! To honor him, I want to be able to plan magical vacations for other families! 


Another way I honor Gus is by donating 10% of my profits to Childhood Cancer Research! 


My mission is to ensure your family has a great vacation, filled with memories that will last a lifetime.

Golden Light Adventures
A Brief Explanation for How It Came To Life

The name, Golden Light Adventures, is a tribute to our son Gus. Gold represents childhood cancer awareness, Gus brought light and joy to our lives, and adventure was his second nature. My logo captures the essence of the name perfectly. 

It features the childhood cancer awareness ribbon (Golden), a representation of sunshine (Light), and a plane symbolizing adventure (Adventures). 

I cherish that I’m able to share Gus’ light through helping other families take magical vacations. Your trust and support help me contribute 10% of my profits to childhood cancer research. From the bottom of my heart - thank you.

Gus, your legacy will forever live on. I love you kiddo.
