Travel with Kids

Travel with Kids is the practical planning companion for parents who want to actually enjoy family trips instead of just surviving them. Host Emily Krause runs the A Mom Explores blog and brings that same organized, detail-oriented approach to the podcast. Each episode tackles a specific destination or travel challenge -- birthday trips with kids, navigating airports, budget strategies, points and miles hacks -- and gives you actionable information you can use immediately. Emily's style is conversational and relatable. She talks like a friend who has already made all the mistakes and figured out the shortcuts. Episodes run about 35 to 50 minutes and come out roughly every two weeks, with 100 episodes in the catalog so far. She frequently brings on guest experts and fellow travel-parent bloggers who share their own tips and destination-specific advice. The show covers everything from Disney World logistics to international travel with toddlers to road trip planning fundamentals. This podcast holds a 4.9 rating on Apple Podcasts, though from a smaller base of about 48 reviews, which reflects its more niche, parent-focused audience. Unlike the other shows in this category, Travel with Kids is not designed to entertain children directly -- it is for the adults doing the planning. That makes it ideal listening for parents during their own commute or while the kids are asleep in the back seat. If you are in the early stages of planning a family road trip and want practical, tested advice from someone who actually travels with her own kids regularly, this is your show.
