Wondering if traveling with young kids is for you?
Jenny Nakata MSW/MPH
Mom & Writer of Full Passport Family
Traveling with young children can be daunting, I get it. I recently braved a 26 hour flight with a baby and a 5 year old and it wasn’t easy. I’m here to share my experience, tips, and stories of traveling and moving overseas with children. With a little inspiration, encouragement, a good sense of humor and lots of snacks, traveling with kids is 100% doable and can be fun and meaningful too!
Why trust me? I’m a social worker, traveler to over 40 countries, and mom of two young children. I’m passionate about raising resilient, empathetic global citizens and fostering their curiosity. With over a decade of experience supporting families and children’s social-emotional wellbeing, I bring a unique perspective to navigating the ups and downs of family travel and international living. From moving overseas to planning meaningful cultural adventures, I share practical tips, honest stories, and resources to help families embrace adventure and connection.
