Planning a trip with kids sounds simple… until you actually start doing it. Where to stay, how long in each place, what's actually worth doing. It adds up quickly.

The reality
We've been through all of it ourselves - figuring things out as we went, making mistakes, changing plans, and slowly working out what actually works when you're travelling as a family.
What I can help with
This isn't about building something that looks impressive on paper. It's about building something that actually works in real life, with kids, on the ground.
No generic plans. No copy-paste routes. Just something that fits your trip.
The process
We jump on a call and go through your trip - where you're going, how long you have, what you want it to feel like, and what matters most to your family.
I put together a clear, personalised itinerary based on everything we discussed. This isn't a template - it's built around your specific trip.
We go through it together, make any tweaks, and you get a final version you can actually follow. You leave with a plan you're confident in before you book a thing.
What you actually get
Real families. Real trips.
I'd been trying to plan our Colombia trip for three months. Two calls and a few days later I had a day-by-day plan that actually made sense. I didn't realise how much I was overcomplicating it until someone just laid it out clearly.
We were going back and forth on Peru vs Ecuador for weeks. The planning call sorted it in 20 minutes. We went to Peru, the itinerary was brilliant, and we didn't waste a single day on somewhere not worth it with two under-fives in tow.
Worth every dollar and then some. We'd already made a mess of our first Costa Rica trip trying to do too much. This time the pace was just right - the kids actually enjoyed it instead of being dragged from place to place. The accommodation picks were spot on.
I'm a solo mum so I really needed to feel confident before I got on that plane. The plan covered everything I was anxious about - which areas were safe, how to get from the airport, what to do on day one when you're exhausted. Panama was honestly perfect.
We're experienced travellers but Latin America felt different with a toddler. The plan gave us structure without killing the spontaneity. We ended up staying an extra two nights in Cartagena because we loved it - that felt fine because the rest of the plan was rock solid.
I nearly didn't do it because I thought I could figure it out myself. I'm glad I didn't. Ecuador is trickier than it looks on a map and the routing advice alone saved us a genuinely horrible bus journey. Would use this service again without thinking twice.
Who this is for
This works best if you're travelling with kids, planning a longer or multi-stop trip, or just feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the options.
It's also for anyone who wants a bit of reassurance that their plan actually makes sense before committing to flights and accommodation. If you've been going back and forth on the same decisions for weeks, that's a good sign this is worth it.
The honest bit
You can absolutely plan your trip yourself. Plenty of families do, and plenty of those trips go brilliantly.
But if you'd rather save the time, avoid a few of the common mistakes, and not second-guess every decision along the way - this makes things a lot easier. We're not selling confidence for its own sake. We're selling hours back and fewer regrets on arrival.

FAQ
How detailed is the itinerary?
It's structured enough to follow, but flexible enough to adjust. You'll know what to do each day without feeling locked into a strict plan. Think of it as a clear default you can deviate from whenever you want.
Do you book anything for us?
No - flights, hotels, and activities are all yours to book. I give you the plan and the recommendations; you make the bookings in your own time, at your own pace.
Which destinations do you cover?
This service is currently limited to Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, and Costa Rica - destinations we know properly, not ones we've just read about.
Can this work for shorter trips?
Yes, but it's most useful for longer or multi-stop trips where planning gets complicated. If you're doing a single city for four nights, you probably don't need this. If you're doing three countries in two weeks, you probably do.
