Hi, I am Nicky, owner of Kids Approved Travel,

I am a scientist with a PhD in biochemistry and I cannot remember a time when I did not love to travel. While in college, I was fortunate to go on two 5-month trips around the world (one through Asia and Oceania, the other through South America), and I knew then that my journey had just begun. For the first 30 years of my life, I lived in Germany and Switzerland, beautiful countries that were my gateway to exploring Europe with its rich and colorful culture and breathtaking nature. Europe is luckily also closer to the African continent where I feel in love with Africa during my many trips there. Now I live with my family in San Diego, California, where we enjoy the sunny climate and travel to many well-known or undiscovered places.
Wildlife observation is at the top of our list of favorite family activities. We also really enjoy being adventurous and experiencing nature in all its abundance and grandeur.

I have learned so much about planning and traveling with children and gained in-depth knowledge of how different the experiences and challenges are depending on kids’ ages. Being able to help families make unique memories together, to spend quality time away from daily hassles and work, to manage their most valuable, non-renewable asset time this is exactly what inspired me to become a family travel advisor.

When you work with me you can expect an effortless planning process, extraordinary locations and top-quality experiences all tailored to provide you with an authentic connection to the local culture and memories to last a lifetime.

?The next step to your future adventure is to contact me.  I will then set up a time that we can discuss planned location to vacation, family member ages and the budget you have in mind.  With my extensive travel experience around the world I will be able to plan your family adventure that will check all the boxes.  I look forward to hearing from you and working with you to plan your dream vacation.
