About Me

Welcome! I’m Jenn!

I’m SO happy you took the time to stop by my blog!

I’m a wife, physical therapist, writer of this travel blog (obviously!), and very proud mom to three beautiful, crazy, happy boys.

There is always fun to be had with these three, whether we’re hanging around home or traveling to new places. It truly is amazing how kids can find adventure anywhere, and I love being along for the ride!

But, let’s rewind for a second…

because my love for travel goes back WAY before they came along.  I grew up taking family vacations (usually to Walt Disney World!). But the travel bug REALLY bit me during a summer studying abroad in Florence, Italy.  A few years later, I was lucky enough to marry someone who loves to travel just as much as I do.  

My husband and I had a destination wedding in 2012. From that point on, we made a pact to travel as much as we could before having kids.  In the 4 years we were married before our little ones came along, we traveled to 8 countries and 11 states. Travel really did become our love language. 

Exactly 4 years later (literally on our anniversary!), our greatest adventure of all began as we started our family and welcomed our first son to the world.  We had three boys in just over 4 years! Our lives sure did change fast, to say the least.

When we had our first son, our amount of travel initially went way down.  I don’t know if it was the time, money, or just feeling uncomfortable traveling with a little one…but whatever it was, the thing that our relationship was initially built upon (travel!) took a back seat. Eventually, we missed traveling too much and booked our first big trip.

On that trip, we not only learned that traveling with a baby is doable, but we also learned that we really enjoyed it. I mean, seeing this great, big world through your kiddo’s eyes is something that just can’t be put into words.

We’ve now taken countless trips with our kids, including a 2-week, 3-country European Christmas market trip with a 1-year-old and 3-year-old…and a 15+ hour road trip to Disney World with a 2-month-old, 2-year-old, and 4-year-old. (Yes, we got braver traveling with our kids as we added more to the family!)

So, why did I start a blog?

Listen…I’ve made so. many. mistakes. over the years when it comes to traveling with kids. And I know that planning a big trip can be a *bit* overwhelming, especially when you have a million things going on in everyday life.

So, I’m here to help you skip over the nerve-wracking and mistake-making parts of traveling with your kids and get straight to the good stuff!

Bottom line: My mission is to help parents feel confident traveling with their kids. Life’s too short to “wait until the kids are old enough to remember,” am I right? And I can guarantee some of the memories you’re going to make on your next trip will be some of your all-time favorites.

So, let’s get going!
