About me

I am a lifelong travel lover with a passion for experiencing new places and connecting with people from different cultures.

As a wife and mother, I enjoy sharing my enthusiasm for travel with my husband and kids, and strive to encourage other families to embrace travel too. Through my family travel website, The Wandering Daughter, I share resources for family travel and showcase various families who are passionate about travel. As an online influencer and family travel writer, I aim to inspire families to incorporate travel into their daily lives, and show that travel can be achievable for all families.

My writing has been published in ParentMap, a Seattle-based family magazine, and Wanderful, a women-focused travel company. I have also published articles in Matador Network and Business Insider.

For over twelve years, I have been working in the field of international development, combining my love of travel with a desire to make a positive impact on the lives of people around the world. My work has supported projects and teams in over eight countries throughout Africa and Asia.
