Ashton Rives

TRAVEL DESIGNER

Hi, I'm Ashton from Lexington, NC, a full time mom to two toddlers. Raised with a blend of Greek and southern hospitality, I bring a keen eye for detail from my background in the food and beverage industry. My love for travel began early, with family trips to Kiawah Island, Jamaica, NYC, and other areas within the US, and eventually relocating to Charleston, SC. While my husband and I enjoyed tourist experiences pre-kids, our focus now is on Disney vacations, where I navigate the joys and challenges of traveling with young children, including managing food allergies. When not planning trips, I'm gardening, enjoying family time at Lake Norman, or chasing my toddlers.

Specialties: Disney Destinations, Theme Park Vacations
Fun Fact: I love to cook and play golf!

Mike Basirico

I'm Mike, residing in Whitsett, NC with my wife Emily, our dog, and two cats. Travel has been a huge part of my life from a young age thanks to my dad, who was the former Dean of Study Abroad at Elon University. I had the opportunity to live in Florence, Italy for four months as a teenager, which sparked my lifelong passion for exploring new places. My biggest passion is studying and visiting national parks; Emily and I are on a mission to visit all 50 states and 63 national parks, and so far, we've checked off 16 parks and 21 states. I've always been the one in my family and among my friends who plans every detail of our vacations, from hidden spots on family trips growing up to meticulously planned itineraries for our latest adventures. We've explored everywhere from New Mexico to Acadia National Park and even took a road trip across Iceland recently. As part of the ExtravaGranza team, I'm excited to help curate amazing travel experiences, especially focusing on national parks, unique hiking spots, and international destinations that are off the beaten path.

Specialties: National Parks, Adventure Travel, Domestic Destinations, Cruises
Fun Fact: I'm trying to hit all 50 states and national parks before turning 30!

Crystal Smith

TRAVEL DESIGNER

Hi, I’m Crystal, and I currently live in Mebane, NC with my husband, and our two boys! Unlike others, I didn’t find my love for travel at a young age. I only started traveling a few years ago when my husband and I took our honeymoon to Jamaica and then took our first family vacation to Disney World. Since then, I have found such comfort and joy helping families, couples, and even best friends plan their vacations and create unforgettable memories. Being a travel agent has allowed me to meet and connect with people that I didn’t know, and I have even re-connected with people that I lost touch with over the years. Traveling holds such a special place in my heart, and there is nothing better than exploring somewhere new, or an annual getaway, with your family & friends. I know there are a lot of options to choose from when it comes to booking your vacation, so thank you for considering me.

Specialties: Disney Destinations, Theme Park Vacations, Family Vacations
Fun Fact: I love to create fun vlog style content about daily life for my social media!
