Hi, I’m Katie, the family travel creator behind The O’Neill Way to Travel.
I share real-life travel experiences alongside my husband and two young kids, with the goal of helping other parents feel more confident getting out and exploring with their little ones.
Whether it’s a local outing, a weekend trip, or a bigger adventure, my content focuses on what actually works for families with young kids. No perfection, just practical and honest insight.

Who We Reach
Our audience is made up of parents with babies, toddlers, and preschoolers who want to:
- travel more with their kids
- find family-friendly activities and destinations
- feel prepared instead of overwhelmed
They’re looking for realistic tips, helpful guidance, and ideas they can actually use in their day-to-day lives.
What We Create
We create content that is practical, relatable, and easy for parents to apply right away.
This includes:
- Blog posts with detailed, experience-based recommendations
- Instagram reels, carousels, and stories
- Pinterest content designed to inspire and drive planning
- Helpful resources like packing lists, guides, and printables
Featured Collaboration

Thinkery Del Valle (Austin, TX)
We partnered with Thinkery Del Valle for a hosted visit and created a detailed blog post along with supporting Instagram and Pinterest content.
The focus was on:
- Why it’s a great fit for younger or more cautious kids
- What to expect during a visit
- Practical tips for parents planning a trip

Our Approach to Family Travel Content
We focus on the real experience of traveling and exploring with young kids.
Our content:
- Shows real, attainable experiences, not just highlight-reel moments
- Highlights what works (and what doesn’t)
- Prioritizes flexible experiences that work with kids, not against them
- Considers different personalities, including more cautious or slower-to-warm-up kids
- Helps parents set realistic expectations
- Keeps the experience enjoyable for both kids and parents
Ways We Can Work Together
We love partnering with brands, destinations, and businesses that align with family-friendly travel and experiences.
Opportunities include:
- Hosted visits and honest reviews
- Local activity and destination features
- Social media content (reels, carousels, and stories)
- Blog features and guides
- Product features (when they genuinely fit our family’s needs)
If you have an idea in mind, we’re always open to collaborating in a way that feels natural and helpful to our audience.
