Helping your family travel the world with care and confidence.
If you’ve been feeling a mix of wanderlust and worry lately, you’re not alone. As a mom and travel advisor, I get it, the world feels a little complicated right now. Whether it's global events, political shifts, or just the unpredictability of life, it’s natural to feel anxious about traveling, especially with little ones in tow.
But here’s the thing: meaningful travel can still happen even in uncertain times. With the right planning, support, and mindset, you can explore safely, confidently, and maybe
even more meaningfully than ever.
Safety First, As It Should Be
At Shared Suitcase Travel, I prioritize your peace of mind. That starts with staying up to date on travel advisories, working only with trusted partners, and helping you choose destinations with solid infrastructure and family-friendly care. We talk about safety protocols, emergency plans, and travel insurance options so you’re never traveling blind.
Stick With What Feels Right
Some destinations just feel more comfortable, and that’s okay. Whether it’s the Caribbean where resorts are all-in-one bubbles of joy, or Costa Rica with its wide-open nature and pura vida pace, we’ll pick places that match your family’s comfort level.
Pro tip: Direct flights, on-site activities, and strong healthcare systems can go a long way in reducing stress.
Build Flexibility Into Your Itinerary
Now more than ever, flexibility is your best travel buddy. I help you build trips that allow wiggle room; whether that means refundable bookings, change-friendly airlines, or realistic schedules with built-in downtime for everyone (especially moms!). And again, I am going to stress the importance of travel insurance.
Emotional Safety Counts Too
It's not just about logistics, its about emotional safety too. If you are a mom, solo traveler, person of color or a member of the LGBTQ+ community, accessing the world is not always carefree. We will not only talk itineraries, but areas that you will feel safe, seen and welcome. And no matter who I am working with, the mom in me doesn't quit. We will also make sure you pack your self care essentials, what item comforts you? The go-to water bottle, the lipstick that makes you feel like you or your kids favorite stuffy. These are the things that typically cannot be replaced once you get there.
Explore Wisely, Not Fearfully
There’s so much world left to explore. With the right travel advisor (hi!), you don’t have to cancel your dreams, you may just need to adjust your route. Let’s choose the adventures that feel right for right now, and keep a list of the others for later.
Whether you’re dreaming of a beach, a food tour, or a cultural getaway for your family, I'm here to guide you; not just as an advisor, but as a fellow mom who understands the layers of planning with kids in mind.
Let's travel smart. Let’s travel light. And let’s keep showing our kids the world one safe, joyful trip at a time.
