Vatican City
Traveling with young children isn’t always easy—but it’s absolutely possible, and incredibly rewarding. I’ve done it firsthand, starting when my daughter was just 2 months old, flying solo from Toronto to British Columbia. That experience taught me the importance of preparation, flexibility, and a whole lot of patience!
When she was 10 months old, my husband and I took her on a 3-week adventure through Italy, exploring Rome, Vatican City, Naples, Pompeii, Florence, Rimini, San Marino, Verona, and Venice—by bus, train, and taxi. It was a whirlwind of culture, history, and cobblestone streets!
Here are a few of my must-know tips for traveling Europe with a baby:
Stroller with air-inflated tires: A game-changer for cobblestone streets—your baby (and your arms) will thank you.
Compact or collapsible stroller: Elevators in Europe are tiny, so space-saving gear is essential.
Breastfeeding pillow with a waist buckle: Whether you’re nursing or not, it’s a lifesaver for feeding, naps, and reducing caregiver fatigue. Bonus: it clips right onto your stroller!
I know the challenges and the joys of traveling with little ones, and I love helping families plan trips that are both memorable and manageable. Let’s make your next family adventure smooth, stress-free, and full of unforgettable moments.

A week to remember in Portugal!
Reviewed By Jen - Lisbon | Traveled to Portugal | Europe
We would definitely recommend Jennifer when planning your next vacation! She booked our 10th Wedding Anniversary trip to Portugal and took care of every detail - from flights with seats reserved together, private transfers, train tickets, accommodations, and private tours/activities! She was very knowledgeable about the destination and suggested we add a day trip to Sintra, which ended up being one of the highlights of our vacation! Jennifer was also very responsive to our questions, which ensured an enjoyable and stress-free getaway!

Keeps the kids in mind
Reviewed By Travelling Family - Ontario, Canada | Traveled to Portugal | Europe
Jen has been planning our family vacations for quite some time. She always thinks about our two young children and gears our trips, accommodations, excursions and flight times with our children's interest and well being in mind.
Thank you for all you have done for us.
Jennifer Shea responded
"Thank you for the kind words!
It has been my pleasure to plan your family getaways for the past few years. It's always fun hearing about how much fun your kids had during "their" curated activities. (But we both know who enjoyed the water park the most hehe).
I look forward to planning your next family adventure!

Perfect Location
Reviewed By TS Trip - Castleton Ontario | Traveled to Paris ~ France ~ Europe
Working with Jennifer was great. She was always positive, listened to our needs/wants and diligent in finding a hotel for us in our price range. Our hotel was a small quiet place very close to the Arc D' Triumph and the Metro was right outside the door so we had no issues getting to our event and back. We also had several little cafe's within a block of the hotel to enjoy meals. It was the perfect location Thank You Jennifer
Jennifer Shea responded
"Thank you so much! It was a pleasure helping you find the perfect spot near the Arc de Triomphe. I'm so glad the location worked out so well for your event and that you enjoyed the nearby cafés. I truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to helping with your next adventure!
Warmly,
