Traveling as a family can be challenging, whether your children have incompatible interests, finicky eating habits, bouts of homesickness, or an addiction to Wi-Fi. In this book, I share all I have learned through my lived experience with budget-conscious, adventurous family travel!

I have been Visa-less at an airport in New Delhi; satiated my children's need for ice cream in every city from Kathmandu to Manila; and knitted a web of second-family members we continue to bond with as we globe-trot. My travel experiences continually enhance my relationships with my children, but there have certainly been challenges along the way. In this book, I speak to parents who yearn to explore the world, but are often choked by their own uncertainties about bringing their young children into such unpredictable situations. Fortunately, my book offers advice to quell anxious families, empowering them to take off on their own journeys. Not only can parents tackle these unnerving unknowns with proper preparation and flexibility, I also show that these unique experiences are often the most potent opportunities for family bonding. Travel with Kids tackles common topics like food, sibling relationships, personal space, and shows you how to plan the best vacation that you ever had. With this book, families can gain the confidence to embark on journeys abroad and actualize their own personal stories, over and over again.

This guide will be your first aid kit - all through the entire vacation.

I'm an ordinary mother living an extraordinary life.

A professional writer since the age of 18, I was living a regular suburban mom lifestyle in Israel until one day I realized I wanted more out of life: more adventure, more freedom, more passion...and less mundanity.

So I decided to follow my dreams, take my kids, and breakaway.

I gave up on washing dishes and doing the laundry. I gave up on car-pools, tedious parents' meetings, housework, fashion trends and daily checklists. I left my favorite boots behind, along with my most precious recipe book, and carried with me the weight of a thousand doubts.

It was September 5th. I cried as the plane took off.

We have been traveling the world for over 10 years, and I draw on my experiences to create stories of all kinds.
