I love what I do and form many different types of bonds with my parents. We may meet as strangers but we say good bye as friends. In the years since I started The Traveling Nanny, I have traveled all over the world with my families and on personal travel.
I want to encourage families to explore the USA! This is a beautiful country and so much to see and children build travel memories earlier than you think. One of my first travel families and I traveled together for 6 years. While the children no longer need a nanny, we stay in contact as friends. When I am in the area we try to get together. One of the favorite topics when I sit down with the kids is do you remember….They also want to know if I have visited all 50 states! Right now I am minus Idaho, Wisconsin, Vermont…I list the states below that the kids wanted to see on the page!
I’ll never be an expert on the below countries but I love trying to learn about the area, the customs and visit parts of a country away from the cities when I do personal travel. I have also traveled with families on some great cruises including the magnificent Allure of the Seas. On personal travel I have become a fan of River Cruises and have done the Budapest Blue Danube and the German rivers of Moselle and Rhine.
Below is my growing list of places I’ve been. My bucket list still active though–got a city you want me to add?!
