About Me

Hey there! I’m Jenn, and I want to extend a warm welcome to you from all of us here at thetravellingfairy. You’re probably here because you share our love for travel, or maybe you’re curious about the ins and outs of journeying with kids. That’s what we’re all about!

My daughter (my fairy!) is my inspiration for this blog, without her we probably would have never started travelling in the first place! Fast forward 8 years and travel has become our passion and lifestyle, and it’s a journey that’s molded us in more ways than we could’ve imagined.

At thetravellingfairy, our little corner of the internet, we’re on a mission. It’s not just about sharing captivating destinations or the sunny beaches we’ve lounged on. We’re here to show that traveling with kids isn’t just a dream—it’s a rewarding reality that can educate and bring families closer together.

So if you’re on the fence about whether family travel is for you, stick around. Through our adventures, we aim to light that spark of wanderlust and help families take that first step. And who knows? You might just find yourself planning your next family adventure before you know it.

Meet The Tribe: Who We Are

I want you to know who’s speaking to you through these pages. At the core of thetravellingfairy, is our daughter Mila, my wonderful husband, and me! Our daughter is the reason we decided to venture in to the world of travelling as a family.

So, how did we get here? About 6 years ago, we were given the opportunity to change our lives. We knew that our greatest passions and lessons weren’t found in a traditional setting. We wanted something more – more connection, more learning, more life. That’s when we swapped what was ‘expected’ for what was ‘exciting’ and embarked on a journey of family travel. And we haven’t looked back since.

Our way of traveling is a little different. It’s intentional. Every destination is chosen with purpose, whether to learn about new cultures, educate our little one in a global classroom, or just to find a corner of the world where we can grow closer as a family.

Tales from the Trails: Our Adventures So Far

Over the past 6 years, the travelling fairy has moved across continents, exploring bustling cities, serene countrysides, and everything in between. Our adventures have been as diverse as trekking in the Sapa mountains in Vietnam to converting a van and driving through Bulgaria. Each journey has been a page in our family’s storybook, filled with laughter, a few mishaps, and countless lessons.

Balancing adventure with everyday life is a challenge we’ve embraced head-on. Integrating schooling for our 8-year-old while on the move, we’ve found that the world makes an extraordinary classroom. Whether it’s math through currency conversion or history from visiting ancient ruins, education is woven into our daily travels.

Perhaps the most important lesson we’ve learned is the value of cultural exchange and environmental responsibility. Our philosophy is to leave places better than we found them, whether that means participating in beach clean-ups or supporting local economies. We want to show that travel with kids can be done responsibly, focusing on positive impacts rather than just passing through.

Our website, thetravellingfairy, is our living travel journal – a collage of our experiences, insights, and the invaluable knowledge we’ve accumulated. We believe these stories can spark a love for adventure in other families and guide them on how to make it a reality. By sharing our journey, we invite you to write your own adventure story with us as your compass.
