ABOUT TRAVELNITCH
I Haven’t Been Everywhere…
…but it’s on my list.
My whole life has revolved around travel. When I became a mom I thought I was done, settled down in suburbia—until I discovered it was really just a new beginning. Now I’m recapturing the magic of travel with (and for) my kids, so they will come to appreciate the many wonders of this world.
I founded Travelnitch in 2018 to inspire families through travel. Now, with love and encouragement from my own kids, we encourage others to get out and explore together. I hope Travelnitch inspires you in some special way. Happy travels!

VISION & VALUES
What We Do & Why
Travelnitch is a 501(c)(3) public charity, inspiring kids through virtual and real-world travel—because we believe it has the power to change lives, open minds, and build stronger communities.
What if you could never travel again? How would that make you feel?
Travel fosters empathy, builds confidence, and supports a more tolerant global perspective—outcomes that benefit us all. That’s why we’re working hard to make it more accessible.
We spark a passion for the world through hands-on learning, encourage growth through virtual exploration, and bridge the cultural divide through real-world experience.
Our Vision
Together we can:
- Strengthen the bond between parent & child through a shared love of travel.
- Encourage families to leave their comfort zone and embrace our global diversity.
- Forge a more meaningful connection between our kids and the world.
Our Values
We believe:
- The hard questions in life are best approached with curiosity.
- Diversity is essential to creating a richer society.
- Embracing the unknown is key to learning resiliency.
- Change begins at home, but transformation takes place on the road.
MEET THE TEAM
Our journey began in 2018 with a mom who loves to travel. It continues today thanks to the steadfast commitment from our small (but mighty) Board of Directors. With decades of nonprofit experience at the helm and a tribe of our own young explorers, we couldn’t be more excited to embark on this adventure together!

We can’t do this alone. We need talented writers who can inspire our youngest readers to go forth and explore. We need parents who are willing to share our content so we can reach more families. It takes a village has never been more true. Won’t you join us on this adventure
