The Family Blog, Travel Blog, Mom Blog, Baby Blog… These personal journals are a great resource for traveling families, so we recognize some of the best.

Since there are countless family travel blogs, we have selected some of our favorites, listed below by category, author and/or topic. They are the cream of the crop. Make sure you comment below to tell us which blog is your favorite and which ones we missed!
The Mom Blog
Mara, a travel writer and family enthusiast, blogs about how traveling has never been more fun than with her two sons and husband in her blog The Mother of all Trips. Read her blog and discover how traveling with kids doesn’t necessarily mean slowing down, and how you can enjoy every minute. Her blog motto, “Bringing the world to your kids – and your kids to the world” holds true as most of her blog entries detail the joy she feels as her kids experience new places, and her hope that one day her kids will be global citizens ready to change the world for good.
Blogs featured on Traveling Mamas include advice on family vacations, romantic getaways, trips with your girlfriends, and solo trips, so it’s not all about the kids (even though we love them). The site has regular authors and guest authors who write the blogs for the site, all under a “mom” alias.
A blog started by a traveling mom based in Seattle, Wander Mom chronicles her family’s travels and also reviews hotels and other properties where they’ve stayed. Her family is an active one so there are also reviews of outdoor activities, travel products, and travel gear. Her posts are casual in tone and range from talking about her family’s adventures to good book recommendations, to tips on staying in hostels.
Three professional travel writers who also happen to be moms have teamed up to contribute to The Vacation Gals, which offers advice on family travel, getaways with girlfriends, and romantic vacations. Based in Minnesota, California, and Colorado, these three women cover travel all over the US. Their posts are always accompanied with cute pictures and they often host small giveaways.
When Kim Orlando’s career started requiring her to travel on a weekly basis, she welcomed the short breaks from the hectic pace of family life. As she would soon learn however, juggling the roles of mother and traveling professional is far more complicated than it looks. Kim began assembling tips and tricks from other traveling mothers and soon founded TravelingMom – a site where traveling mothers from all different backgrounds can share their own travel stories as well as provide insight regarding specific travel topics. Kim’s site also features an extensive collection of travel deals, region-specific itineraries and product reviews.
The Travel Blog
Nancy D. Brown is a professional journalist who has combined her writing career with her passion for travel in her blog What a Trip. She writes numerous travel columns and is the editor for a travel website and magazine. Nancy’s tag cloud on the right column of her blog contains categories for almost every country, state, or region you might want to visit. There are also categories for “food,” “budget travel,” and “family vacations,” so you’ll have plenty to read about.
Nomadic Matt’s Travel Site is a website where Matt, a young travel writer, records his many experiences abroad. His blogs topics range from advice on what hostels to stay in while traveling in Europe, to attending the greatest festivals in the world, to council for eager newcomers on how to become a successful travel writer. Matt’s vagabond lifestyle, hopping from country to country, state to state, may not be the ideal lifestyle for a traveling family, but his travel advice is valuable to any traveler, kids or no kids.
Pitstops For Kids’ founder, a mom who loves to travel, has created a website less focused on destinations but rather on the journeys to destinations. Having heard, “Are we there yet?” one time too many, this blogger decided to compile reviews of different kid-friendly pit stops around the country. You can search easily for pit stops by airport, interstate, resort or state. Pit stops featured range from parks to museums to restaurants, all with a focus on letting kids out of the car for a bit to stretch their legs. Though there are pit stops all over the country, the majority of the coverage is in the Pacific Northwest and in the Southwest.
Travel with Kids is a television show that chronicles the adventures of the Roberts family as they circle the globe in search of family-friendly adventure. This blog is the counterpart to the TV show, describing all of the fun places the Roberts have gone to before the episodes air on television. Rather than buying the DVDs, you can just read the blog here for ideas on how to travel with kids to places like Wales, Costa Rica, and New York City. The blog also features lots of great pictures and videos, as well as reviews of places the Roberts have stayed.
The Baby Blog
Shelly Rivoli, author of the guidebook Travels with Baby, shares her traveling expertise on everything from what kind of car seat to buy, to biking in Yosemite National Park, to flying with babies — in her blog of the same name. Focused on traveling mainly in the western US and complete with lots of pictures and videos, this blog is charming to read and also offers occasional baby travel gear giveaways.
A mother of three young kids has started a blog Delicious Baby to offer advice to parents who want to keep traveling even though they’ve just had kids. Debbie shares her personal travel stories as well as general tips and advice for traveling with children. Some favorite topics include printable kids’ activities for traveling and an in-depth look at traveling in Istanbul with young children.

Nice post!
Hey There. I found your blog using msn. This is a really well written article.
I’ll make sure to bookmark it and return to read more of your useful information. Thanks
for the post. I will definitely comeback.
This is such helpful information! Traveling with minors can get complicated, and having all the required documents ready makes the process so much smoother. Thanks for breaking it down so clearly!
Great blog! I really enjoyed reading it. The way you explained everything in such simple and clear words made it easy to follow. Sometimes blogs can get too technical or confusing, but this one was straight to the point and very helpful.
I got good info from your blog
Keep working ,great job!
I haven’t checked in here for a while as I thought it was getting boring, but the last few posts are great quality so I guess I’ll add you back to my daily bloglist. You deserve it my friend 🙂
I had the chance to experience Denmark during the Christmas season, and it’s something I’ll always hold close to my heart. Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen felt like stepping into a storybook. The way the entire park was dressed in soft, glowing lights, handmade decorations, and the comforting scent of mulled wine in the air made every moment feel special.
There’s a unique warmth about this place that isn’t just from the cocoa or winter drinks, but from the people, the laughter, and the little traditions scattered around every corner. Watching families gather, children’s faces light up at the sight of the reindeer, and the simple joy of wandering through beautifully decorated stalls reminded me how lovely the holiday season can be.
It’s not just about the decorations or the rides — it’s the feeling of togetherness, the calm, and the way time seems to slow down so you can really take in the small, meaningful moments. I left with a heart full of good memories and a deep appreciation for the charm and kindness of Danish traditions.
If you ever get the chance to visit, I promise it’s a place that will stay with you long after you’ve left.
The article is full of information , thanks for such a good knowledge.
This article is incredibly informative and well-structured. It offers clear, practical guidance on a topic many travelers often overlook—traveling with minors. The detailed breakdown of required documents and the emphasis on consent letters provide much-needed clarity for parents and guardians planning a trip. A must-read for anyone traveling with children!
Great article! I completely agree with your points.
Keep up the good work

Thank you for such praise, I am glad I could present the material in a way that made you want to see and experience St. Augustine’s Black history for yourself.
Of course, this beach town has lots more to offer but if you are willing to walk the lanes and dig a little bit, the history of the first Blacks and how much they contributed to protecting the colony is fascinating.
Hope you get there and enjoy your trip.
Your trip sounds absolutely incredible! Lisbon is truly a magical city, and your experience during the EuroCup must have made it even more special. If anyone reading this is planning a trip to Lisbon, I highly recommend taking a free walking tour to explore the city’s rich history, charming streets, and hidden gems with a local guide. You can check out this great option: https://www.guruwalk.com/lisbon. It’s a fantastic way to get an insider’s perspective on the city!
It’s iin reality a great and helpful piece oof info.
I’m satisfied that you shared this helpful information with us.

Great content for cruise lovers !! One of the most advantage of cruising is you do not have to pick your luggages every day , and every day you discover a new country. Although one day is not enough to see everything it gives an idea about a country ! With my experience since 2007, 99,9% of my guest said that Kusadasi/Turkey is their favorite port among all the other ports. Because we have a lot of options for every traveler. The most popular places , if your ship is docking at Kusadasi, is Ephesus ancient city which is only 25 min. drive away. Ephesus was the 4th largest ancient city of the world in 2 c AD.Most of the ruins are reconstructed and gives an idea about Roman’ glorious times. If you ever visit Ephesus, I suggest you to see Terrace Houses , where the rich were living and houses are decorated with beautiful mosaics and frescoes from 3rd c AD.If you want to add a spiritual break , thats House of Virgin Mary is there. It is believed that she was taken by St. John the apostle to there.Another place you must see Ephesus Museum.. Forget all that boring museums you have seen . While guiding , I explain the most interesting artifacts , including original staue of Artemis. BTW. did you know that one of seven wonders of ancient world was located there? Well… not so much left , but it is still worth to be seen. If you ever visit Kusadasi,and want to have private tour, please feel free to contact with me ! I am very happy to answer your questions and customize your trip to Ephesus. Please visit my website,not only for Ephesus trip but also to get an idea about my beloved country Turkey/Turkiye. You can see different types of tours that I organize. Archaeological , culinary or lets customize your tour to Turkey together!! luxurytoursofturkey.com/
