Meet the mom behind The Family Aboard
Hi, I’m Sophie — a mom of two who’s been traveling with my kids since they were babies.
Over the years, we’ve taken 25+ flights, explored cities like Paris and Rome multiple times, and learned (sometimes the hard way 😅) what actually makes family travel easier… and what doesn’t.
I’m not here to show you “perfect” trips. I’m here to make you feel confident, prepared, and actually enjoy traveling with your kids — without the stress, overwhelm, or second-guessing.
Because yes… you can travel with kids and love it.
