Why You Should Work with a Family Travel Advisor

March 29, 2025

As a parent who has planned countless family vacations, both professionally as a travel advisor and personally with my own children, I’ve learned that family travel requires strategic expertise. It’s about creating experiences that engage everyone while anticipating the unique needs that come with traveling as a family.

When I first started traveling with my children, I quickly discovered how different family travel is from solo or couple adventures. Now, with years of experience both as a mom and a travel advisor, I can transform your family vacation from potentially stressful to genuinely enjoyable.

Experience That Makes a Difference

I understand family dynamics from both professional and personal perspectives. I know which cities are most navigable with children, which resorts truly deliver on their family-friendly promises, and how to structure your days to maintain everyone’s energy and interest.

I can tell you with confidence which transfer times are realistic with children, where to find convenient meal options that satisfy diverse preferences, and which attractions are worth your time based on your children’s ages and interests.

Planning with Your Family in Mind

When we work together, I create travel experiences tailored specifically to your family’s unique needs:

  • I recommend destinations that match your children’s developmental stages and interests
  • I plan itineraries with appropriate pacing, building in necessary downtime
  • I select accommodations positioned near the attractions you’ll visit most frequently
  • I identify family-friendly dining options that balance convenience with quality
  • I suggest activities that educate and entertain children while still engaging adults

I understand that a successful family vacation requires thoughtful planning that accounts for everyone’s needs—including parents who deserve their own moments of enjoyment.

Beyond the Obvious Destinations

The advantage of working with someone who regularly travels with children is access to knowledge that goes beyond the standard family destinations. I can introduce you to lesser-known destinations where your family can have authentic cultural experiences suited to your children’s ages.

Whether it’s recommending the most walkable European cities for families, connecting you with a great tour guide who are not only experts in their destinations but also fantastic with kids, identifying which museums offer engaging children’s programs, or knowing which beaches provide the amenities families need, my recommendations come from firsthand experience and relationships I’ve formed.

Let’s Create Meaningful Family Experiences

Family travel isn’t just about entertainment—it’s about creating formative experiences that will shape your children’s understanding of the world. As your travel advisor, I’m committed to helping you design journeys that are not only logistically smooth but also rich with opportunities for connection and discovery.

When you’re ready to plan your next family adventure—whether it’s exploring a new city or embarking on an international journey—I’d be honored to put my experience as both an advisor and a traveling mom to work for you.
