Meet the Family Behind this Single Parent Travel Blog

A single dad’s honest guide to traveling with kids after divorce.

Hi! We’re Jeff, Cate, and Coen — one single dad and two curious kids exploring the world one messy, beautiful trip at a time. This single parent travel blog follows our journey as we navigate family adventures, one trip at a time. We’re not professional travelers. We’re just a solo-parent crew figuring it out, trip by trip — with plenty of laughs, a few wrong turns, and the occasional lost sock.

Mileage, Meltdowns, and Milestones

100+

Survived over 100 family-friendly adventures (and a few questionable roadside stops)

500+

Made 500+ nature connections — hikes, whale watching, Dino bones and alligator petting.

1000+

Snacks eaten, dropped, stepped on, and ground into the seat of rental cars — all in the name of travel,

We share:

  • Travel tips and hacks (especially for solo parents)
  • Co-parenting advice for making shared custody travel work
  • Honest trip journals from the places we’ve actually been
