Hey friends 🤍
Lucas and I have talked for a long time about starting a travel blog/vlog — and we finally decided to just go for it.
We’re a family of five who loves exploring, especially national parks, road trips, and outdoor adventures. But we’re doing it realistically — with three kids, busy schedules, a budget and a pet in the mix!
This page is where we’ll share:
🏔 Budget-friendly travel ideas
🚗 Road trip tips (with kids!)
✈️ Airplane tips with kids
📍 Where to go + what to do (and what to skip)
📦 Travel must-haves that actually make life easier
📸 And the real, slightly chaotic moments in between
I’ve spend way too much time (and $ 😳) researching gear, packing systems, snacks, organization hacks, and travel finds — so I figured I might as well share what works (and what doesn’t).
If something saves us time, money, or a meltdown on a trail, you’ll find it here.
We’re excited to bring you along 🤍
Welcome to Travel with the Kastnings.
