I started traveling at a young age, and now that I'm a parent, I'm sharing my love of travel with my kids. My favorite place to be is in an airplane or hotel.

Well, that was quick

I set up this blog over the course of a few months in mid-2019, intending to add affiliate links, grow my following, and share stories.

Shortly after my first blog post – our family decided to move 1300 miles away from our home base – to the Portland, Maine area.

We have successfully relocated. And in the process, have decided not to pursue blogging at this time, mostly because my travel plans are on hold for the next year.

I will update here when I am ready to resume. Thank you for dropping by.

Hello world!

Welcome to turtle shell travel

This is the blog where I will share my travel stories, and hopefully inspire you to create some travel memories of your own.

Being a working mom of two, most of my travel involve short (5 days or less) getaways. I’ve found that this time frame gives me a break from my usual routine and lets me experience some culture and beauty outside of my own upper Midwest small town.

So please, follow along. If you are interested in visiting a place I’ve previewed for you. I’ll include links to itineraries you can book yourself. I’m open for questions about how best to travel as a couple, with friends, and with kids.
