Hi! I'm Allison.

I know how stressful (and fun) it can be to plan a family vacation.

Our first family vacation was a 2,000-mile road trip with our 4-week-old baby. We survived that, and seventeen years later, I am still traveling with my husband and two kids on nearly every school break because travel makes our family stronger, smarter, and happier.

I've been sharing tips for better family vacations on television, on radio, in print, and online for nearly 10 years. I'm excited to share my BEST tips with you, right here.
