A friendly, slightly chaotic, travel family.
Hello! 👋 We’re the family behind ZeTravelFamily, a trio of full-time family travelers on a mission to prove that yes, you can travel with kids – and you might even enjoy it!
We’re raising our little adventurer without a fixed address, a plan, or matching socks. We created this blog to encourage families (expectant, new, or experienced) to embrace adventure with their kids.

Dennis is our resident techie, pack mule, and crypto whisperer. By day, he’s a self-employed CRM administrator. By night, he’s my go-to tech guy for fixing blog glitches.
Our resident unpacker and snack bandit. Baby is the heart behind ZeTravelFamily – and the reason I learned to love a good sunrise. You’ll find him causing mayhem.
I’m the writer of this blog. A former Pre-K teacher turned stay-at-home mom without a home. You can find me chasing our baby through some remote forest, capturing memories.
Why We Blog
We created Ze Travel Family to connect with other families who dream of living a more meaningful life with their kids—a life filled with adventure, magic, and family time. Whether you’re planning your first trip as a family or dreaming of a nomadic lifestyle, we’re here with real talk, hard-won tips, and the best toys for airplane travel days. (Nothing wooden!)
Because adventure doesn’t stop with kids. It starts.

Before becoming parents, we worried having a baby would hold us back.

Now, one year later, we call ourselves a full-time traveling family. We’ve lived on three different…

Life as a digital nomad family is amazing – but it’s not the life you see online. Influencers, like me, are guilty of portraying our lives as an endless highlight reel: mornings at the beach, afternoons lounging by the pool, and rare workdays filled with ocean breezes and tropical drinks. While these moments of pure…

Although this opinion may seem odd for a blog focused on family travel, there are a lot of reasons why I firmly believe all airlines should offer child and baby-free sections, for an additional cost.
