YOUR #1 FAMILY TRAVEL RESOURCE

The Family Abaord - a family travel blog featuring travel guides, itineraries, packing lists and more.

Iconic trips. Nap-friendly plans. Core memories unlocked.

Hey, I’m Sophie — a full-time working mom who plans trips when kids are asleep and travels when school’s out.

Here, you’ll find real-life family travel tips to help you make the most of your time off — without burnout, a nanny, or needing a gap year to make it happen.

Because family travel shouldn’t feel overwhelming, even if you’re juggling work, dance recitals, school calendars, and runny noses! It should fit your real life and your family’s needs — with nap breaks, downtime, and yes, space for iconic moments too.

Whether you’re mapping out Paris with a stroller, trying to figure out how to survive the flight with your kids, or finding the best stopover playground on a road trip — you’re in the right place.
