Family Weekend Travel & Life between PTO and School Schedules
Follow along with us if you want to see:
- Exploring the USA. We’re based in Florida and love a staycation
- International Destinations for longer trips (you won’t see a trip across the pond in 4 days with us!)
- Adventuring between school schedules and the 9-5 grind
- Group travel! We have a large extended family (and friends!) and love traveling together
Here at To Travel & Beyond, you will find family-friendly travels, somewhere between budget and luxury.
My family loves a magical vacation together, a great resort pool, and a fun adventure to get us excited for a trip.
I’m all about finding ways to maximize our precious travel time while juggling PTO and family schedules.
I aim to share my tips and tricks for making family travel fun, stress-free and memorable. I am excited to connect and help others make the most of their family vacations.
Whether it’s finding the best family-friendly destinations, navigating long flights with kids, sharing hidden gems, or making the most out of a staycation- I’ve got you covered!
But also, I keep it real– it’s not all glamorous; I’m still figuring it out (parenthood, life, travel, school, etc!) I look forward to bringing together a mix of local ideas, global vacations, days on the beach, and adventure in between a full calendar of school activities!
