Family Travel Doesn’t Have to Be Chaos: My Sanity-Saving Tips + Packing List

Let’s be honest. Traveling with kids is less “rest and recharge” and more “snacks and strategy.” But that doesn’t mean it can’t be wonderful, memorable, and dare I say… fun. You just need the right plan.

As a luxury family travel advisor (and a parent who’s packed for more long-haul flights than I can count), I’ve learned what actually works when you’re navigating airports, time zones, and tiny humans who suddenly hate their shoes mid-boarding.

I put together my Family Travel Survival Guide to help you travel like the calm, collected version of yourself. Inside, you’ll find my tried-and-tested travel tips (from what to pack to what not to expect) and a practical, not-overwhelming packing list that works whether you're heading to Hawaii or hopping trains in Europe.

You’ll learn things like:

  • Why packing less is actually the secret to smoother travel (hello, hotel laundry!)

  • The genius of an “in-seat” airplane bag

  • How to avoid the snack meltdown at 30,000 feet

  • The power of letting your kid pick one activity (even if it’s weird)

  • And what most parents forget to do before the final descent

This is the kind of stuff I give my personal travel clients; the families who want to see the world without having to figure it all out on their own. If that’s you? You’re in the right place.

Grab your complimentary Family Travel Survival Guide and start planning your next trip with more confidence (and fewer Goldfish crackers in your purse). It’s full of small things that make a big difference. Because when travel feels easy, everyone’s happier.
