I believe families like ours can travel —sensory needs, picky eaters, iPads in hand, and all at our own pace.
Hi, I’m Kim
Thanks for being here!
My love for travel started in the back of my grandpa's 1970s pea soup green Ford truck, Airstream in tow, on summer road trips to Disneyland and Yosemite. Those trips gave me a sense of wonder, curiosity, and freedom—they're core memories I'll carry forever.
Today, I'm a mom to two teens—my son has autism, and I have a neurotypical daughter. I share family travel tips rooted in real-life experiences and what's actually worked for us. Our trips aren't perfect—they're full of slow mornings, flexible plans, snack breaks, negotiating where everyone's willing to eat, and yes… plenty of screen time for regulation. But they work for us, at our own pace.
Over the years, I've traveled a lot—both with and without my kids. We go to Disneyland, visit local Bay Area spots, and, most recently, traveled to Japan and Amsterdam. I want my kids to see the world, gain confidence through travel, and experience the joy and excitement that comes from exploring new places. I also want to help other families like mine feel empowered and inspired to do the same.
When I'm not planning our next trip, you'll find me at home in regular mom life—carpooling kids, shopping, homework, all the things, and of course the occasional binge-worthy show. I'm also a big believer in solo parent trips. Taking time to recharge and reconnect with yourself matters—it's a form of self-care—and you're more than just "mom." That's why, along with family travel resources, I share advice and encouragement for solo adventures—whether it's around the world or just down the road.
I also really love creating content that tells real stories—the kind that feel like a conversation with a friend who truly gets it. I work with lifestyle, wellness, and travel brands to create authentic, relatable user-generated content that connects with moms and families navigating everyday life and travel. If you're a brand looking for someone who values authenticity, let's chat.
So, whether you're planning a family vacation, considering your first solo getaway, or you're a brand looking to collaborate—I'm so glad you're here.

Sensory Savvy Momma Podcast Interview
I joined Victoria on the Sensory Savvy Momma Podcast to talk all about traveling as a neurodivergent family—and how to do it with more intention, less pressure, and way more joy. We chatted about building trips around safety and comfort, setting realistic expectations, and letting go of perfection. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed planning a vacation, this one’s for you.
Give it a listen and share it with a fellow autism mom who could use the encouragement.
