What My Clients Say

No matter the project, I strive to exceed your expectations. Here are quotes from just a few of my happy clients.


  • Colleen was a great partner to work with Visit Burbank. She was very professional, responding quickly to questions and open to suggestions. She went above and beyond, delivering more than asked. She worked with us to convey a wonderful story about the city to her followers in both her social posts and stories as well as her in-depth blog article. Her work was beautiful and fun, and it captured the diverse experiences and excitement that our city has to offer. We hope to work with her again in the future.

  • From the initial itinerary planning, Colleen was inquisitive and enthusiastic to experience all the unique family offerings on The Secret Coast, and that enthusiasm continued throughout their visit. From exciting and compelling social media posts to a wonderfully comprehensive recap of her visit to Coastal Mississippi, Colleen’s work truly reflected our destination and the diverse experiences it has to offer.

Unpaid Product Review on TikTok

@colleenlanin

This is my honest review of the @Trtl Travel pillow and tips for using it. It comes with simple instructions to loop around, wrap up, and nap. At first, I felt like it was choking me, though. But then I realized you must tuck your chin into the wrap and place the curved solid portion on top of one shoulder to give yourself a solid surface on which to rest your head. Usually, I sleep terribly on airplanes but I was actually able to nap with the Trtl Travel Pillow on my last flight, so I give it a thumbs up. 👍 That’s all I have to say about that. #travelgear #honestreview #airplane #airtravel

Meet My Travel Crew

While I often travel solo or with fellow creators, many of my favorite adventures are shared with Phil — my goofy, good-natured husband who’s becoming a regular (and very patient!) presence in my videos.

I also still travel with our kids when schedules align: Karissa, our creative 20-year-old with ever-changing multi-colored hair, and Leo, our 17-year-old gym enthusiast and gentle soul who seems to charm everyone he meets. Whether it’s a grownup getaway, or a family trip with teens in tow, I create content that reflects real-life travel experiences — warm, relatable, and tailored to your brand’s goals.
