Hi, I’m Jessica
I’m Jessica, the traveler and mom of three behind Familee Travel. I started traveling internationally long before kids, then kept going through the baby and toddler years, and now explore the world with three kids spanning preschool through upper elementary age.
Over the years, we’ve navigated long-haul flights, public transportation, family-of-5 hotels and apartments, strollers, baby carriers, jet lag, picky eaters, and all the other logistics that come with bringing kids along. I share what has worked, what didn’t, and the places worth the trip.
My goal is to help other travel-loving parents feel more confident going farther with their kids and experiencing more of the world together.
