Passport to Answers: How Do You Make Sure the Trip Has Something for Both Adults and Kids?

Let’s be honest: planning a trip that keeps both adults and kids happy can feel like trying to solve a puzzle with no picture on the box. One minute you’re dreaming of sipping wine on a terrace, the next you’re wondering if the hotel even has chicken nuggets.

Here’s how I make sure everyone in your family gets something out of the trip — not just the kids, not just the grown-ups, but everyone!

I Ask the Right Questions Up Front

We’ll chat about what actually matters to your family. What makes your kids light up? What helps you unwind? Maybe you want beach time, but not every day. Maybe your kids love animals but hate long car rides. I ask the questions that help me plan something that feels like your trip — not just a copy-paste family package.

Balance is Everything

I mix the fun stuff for the kids with the good stuff for the adults. Think: a day of snorkeling and beach play, followed by a parents-only dinner while the kids are at a pizza-making class. Or a museum morning that ends with gelato in the piazza. No one feels like they’re sacrificing — everyone gets a win.

I Design With Real Life in Mind

I plan around naps, energy levels, and snack needs — because no one enjoys a trip where the kids are melting down by lunchtime and the parents are running on fumes. That means not overloading your days, choosing hotels with space to breathe, and building in time to actually relax.

Kid-Friendly Doesn’t Mean Kid-Centric

Yes, I find cool stuff for the kids — animal encounters, treasure hunts, beach clubs — but I also make sure adults are loving it too. Maybe it’s a vineyard with a petting zoo. A cooking class where everyone makes pasta. A guided walk where the kids are engaged and you’re not bored to tears. That’s the sweet spot.

And Yes, You Get Grown-Up Time Too

If you want a little adults-only time (and let’s be real, most parents do), I’ve got you. I work with hotels that have trusted childcare, kids’ clubs, or even just a private sitter — so you can sneak away for dinner or a spa treatment and know the kids are having fun too.

I design trips that feel good in the moment — not just great on paper. The kind where you’re not just managing your kids’ fun, but actually enjoying yourself, together.

Because the best family trips are the ones where everyone comes home with happy memories — not just the kids.
