Memphis's Family Vacation Expert
Memphis families are tight-knit, warm, and know how to celebrate together. If you want to take your crew somewhere incredible — somewhere the kids will remember and the parents will actually enjoy — but you don't have the bandwidth to become a travel expert on top of everything else, you've found the right person.
I'm Erika Griffin, the founder of Espoke Travel, and a mom and homeschool parent who understands exactly how much goes into planning a family trip. I help Memphis families plan luxury vacations to the Caribbean, Mexico, and Costa Rica.

- Age-appropriate resort selection — genuine kids' programs, not just a kiddie pool and a juice bar

- Excursions the whole family will love — from sea turtle snorkeling to cenote swimming to zip-lining through rainforests
- Smart flight planning from MEM to minimize travel time and maximize your time at the resort

- On-trip support if anything goes sideways — because with kids, sometimes it does

How the Family Vacation Planning Process Works
- Step 1:A real conversation — We talk about your family, your kids' ages, your travel style, your budget, and what you want the trip to feel like
- Step 2:I do the research — I curate a custom trip proposal with resort options, flights, excursions, and an itinerary built for your specific family
- Step 3:We refine together — You review and we adjust until it's exactly right. Then I handle every booking and detail.
- Step 4:You just pack and show up — I check in during your trip and am available if anything comes up.
A Mom Who Gets It
I'm a mom and homeschool parent, so I know the juggle is real. Family time away from the daily grind is priceless — and I make the planning easy so you can focus on being present with your people.
Serving Memphis & the Mid-South
Based in Tennessee, Erika works with families across Memphis, Germantown, Collierville, Bartlett, and all of the Mid-South region — plus clients nationwide. All planning is done virtually.
Best Family Vacation Destinations from Memphis
Memphis International Airport (MEM) connects the Mid-South to excellent Caribbean and Mexico destinations with one easy connection. These are the family vacation spots my Memphis clients love most.
Beaches Resorts (Jamaica & Turks & Caicos)
The gold standard for family all-inclusive vacations. Sesame Street character experiences, water parks, age-grouped kids' clubs, and enough activities to keep every member of a Memphis family entertained. Erika knows every Beaches property personally.
Cancún & Riviera Maya, Mexico
Seasonal direct flights from MEM to Cancun, plus easy connections year-round. World-class family-friendly all-inclusive resorts, cenote swimming, Mayan ruins, sea turtle snorkeling, and food the whole family will love.
Costa Rica
For Memphis families who want adventure beyond the typical beach vacation. Cloud forest zip-lines, wildlife encounters with sloths and toucans, volcanic hot springs, and eco-resorts.
Jamaica
Warm, vibrant, and full of excellent family resorts. Beaches Negril is consistently one of the best family all-inclusive experiences in the Caribbean. Memphis connects to Montego Bay easily via Atlanta.
Turks & Caicos
Grace Bay Beach, some of the most beautiful water in the world, and family-friendly luxury resorts for families who want beauty and calm in equal measure.
Tennessee Families Love Espoke
"Erika helped us plan 2 family trips this year, and we were very happy to let go and let Erika! She made sure we knew all of the attractions and great restaurants near us. I appreciate her attention to the small details. We really enjoyed each day!"
"Thank you Erika for planning a beautiful week in Mexico for me and the family! After 5 nights, not even one person was ready to go back home! This is the 3rd trip Erika has planned for us. She always goes above and beyond."
