READY FOR YOUR NEXT family VACATION?
I’m a busy parent helping other busy parents explore the world with my tips, travel resources, and destination guides.
Because traveling is always a good idea… even with a baby.
ABOUT ME
WELCOME! I’M BESA.
In a lot of ways, I’m your normal, everyday mom: living in the ‘burbs, working full-time, and constantly chasing after my crazy kids.
Except for one little thing… I travel. A lot.
Like many of you, I’ve always had a serious love for travel. So much so that when I had my sons, I didn’t let that stop me. Sure, it was chaotic and stressful at times. But through lots of trial and error, I eventually figured out how to make it work.
Right about now, you might be thinking, “I wish I could do that…” You can! And I’m going to help.
On Beaches and Babies, I share everything I’ve learned so far as a traveling mom. Planning tips, travel hacks, destination guides, you name it. Because it may not be as glamorous, and it may involve more planning, but traveling with your kids is such a special experience – one you shouldn’t miss out on! So, stop putting that vacation off, and let’s make it a reality.
