A Family Travel Blog
Single Parent Travel My oldest daughter just turned 14, which means that I’ve been taking one-on-one trips with my kids for 10 years. The short version of how the tradition started: my daughter, at 3, wanted to go to Antarctica. I told her that we could go when she was… Read More
Family Travel Inspiration I created my family travel blog to inspire people to take their kids everywhere. It’s why I post to social media as well. It’s an amazing world. The more places you take your kids, and the more cultures they see in person, the more it will change… Read More
The Best Places to Travel with Kids When Travelocity asked me to select 20 of my favorite family travel photos, I spent a lot of time narrowing down the list based on photos I liked and destinations I recommend. In the end I came up with 20 that I think… Read More

It was another amazing year of travel! I didn’t quite match my 2016 statistics, flying 230,511 miles, or roughly 25,000 fewer than last year, but I couldn’t have fit another trip in if I tried! My 21 countries included (in order): US, UK, Oman, UAE, Costa Rica, Chile, Bermuda, Mexico,… Read More
