Family Travel Made Easy: Real Adventures, Expert Tips, and Happy Kids

ERIN WHO?
Hi, I’m Erin Holmes. Ten years ago, I did something most people thought was crazy: I left Australia with my 2 and 3-year-old children and spent five years traveling the world as a nomadic family. Together, we explored 68 countries, creating unforgettable memories along the way. Forbes even called my kids “the world’s most well-traveled children.”
Since 2012, I’ve made it my mission to help families like yours travel the world with confidence, ease, and joy. Whether you’re planning your first international trip with kids, searching for the best family-friendly destinations, or figuring out travel logistics as a single parent, you’ll find expert tips, practical advice, and inspiration right here. Family travel doesn’t have to be stressful or expensive – with the right planning and mindset, it can be fun, enriching, and truly unforgettable.
No matter your family setup – just you, you and a partner, or the whole crew – I’ve been there and done it. Explore With Erin is your go-to hub for expert guidance, insider secrets, and all the knowledge you need to turn your dream family vacation into reality.
