Why We Created Family Travel Unpacked

Real tips from parents who’ve been there.

About Family Travel Unpacked

We’re the family behind the stroller, the carry-on snacks, and the meltdown at gate C27.

We started Family Travel Unpacked for one reason: to give other parents the kind of travel advice we wish we had. Not the Pinterest-perfect checklists—but the real stuff. The “what actually worked when our toddler lost their mind mid-boarding” kind of stuff.

Over the years, we’ve taken trips with babies, toddlers, big kids, and everything in between. We’ve cruised, done Disney, stood in TSA lines, and learned that the secret to a smooth trip isn’t magic—it’s preparation, flexibility, and realistic expectations.

This blog is our unpacked version of family travel:

  • No filters. No fluff. Just helpful tips, tested gear, and survival strategies for parents who want to make travel less stressful and more fun.

If that sounds like your vibe—welcome.
Read the blog, steal the tips, and reach out if we can help. We’re glad you’re here.
