Making family travel EASY & FUN

Hi, I’m Sophie — a busy mom of two, juggling full-time work, school drop-offs, dance competitions, soccer practice, runny noses, and making sure everyone survives (including the house). But if there’s one thing I know — it’s that my kids won’t be this little forever.

That’s why I make the most of this time now. And where I thrive the most? When I’m traveling with them. Stepping away from the chaos, soaking in new experiences, and unlocking core memories that I’ll remember forever.

I’ve taken my kids to 15+ cities, including Paris (three times!) and Rome (twice). We’ve tackled Disney three times, survived about 25 flights together, and enjoyed over 15 camping trips. And if you count my travels before kids? I’ve explored 15 countries, 45+ cities, and flown more times than I can count.

So yeah, I get family travel — the excitement, the logistics, the stress of making sure it all goes smoothly. And that’s why I’m here — to help other busy parents make travel feel easy, doable, and 100% worth it.
