On Traveling With My Mom and My Daughters
Traveling with my mom and my daughters is something I love so very much—because it’s ours, and it matters to me in a way I can’t really explain. But here it goes…
It started as this simple little tradition years ago, almost without thinking about what it might turn into. Just the three of us wandering through places connected to our culture, places from movies and books we loved, places we’d talked about for years.
And somewhere along the way, these trips became something bigger. They became our way of learning about the world and learning about each other.
I fell in love with the world because of my mom. She taught me curiosity and courage and the importance of paying attention. And now I get to watch my daughters fall in love with the world in their own ways—sometimes through the exact same moments, sometimes through completely different ones.
That’s the heart of mother–daughter travel. It stretches you. It teaches you who you are. It reminds you how connected we all are, even when we’re tired or lost or figuring things out as we go.
And yes—traveling with family can be challenging. Everyone has their own rhythm, their own needs, their own pace. But you always come home with stories you never would have experienced if you’d stayed home. The moments you laugh about later. The ones you hold onto. The ones you hope happen again.
I know a lot of families wonder how to even make travel happen. Between bills, groceries, sports schedules, work, everything—it feels impossible. But I’ve learned that when you slow down, move a few things around, and get honest about what matters, you can almost always find a way. Somewhere close, somewhere far, somewhere that fits your life right now.
And that’s really what WildHer Travel is about. Helping women and families make space for the kinds of experiences that stay with you. Helping moms take trips with their daughters. Helping travelers step into the world with more ease, more confidence, and more joy.
I’m still dreaming of the trips I want to take with my daughters, and the trips I hope to take with my mom for as long as I can. And I hope WildHer becomes a place where other mothers and daughters dream up their trips too.

I’d love to help you plan something beautiful.
