watch us on youtube
We’re Brittany, Nick, Olivia, and Everett. And we’re Family on Standby. Early in marriage and unable to have kids, we poured ourselves into travel, trying to make the most our crappy situation. And finally (thanks, IVF!) we became parents. All we ever heard was, “Hope you got your traveling in!” “you’ll never get to do that anymore!” and the like. So we traveled more – we never bought into that travel stops after kids. Make sure to check out our latest videos!
howdy!
we're not your standard full-time traveling family. we're parents with full-time jobs. and we're here to prove to you that travel with kids is accessible. possible. and even enjoyable.
all about instagram
It’s all about the ‘Gram, right? Yup. Our Instagram has become our de-facto family album that we’re sharing with y’all. When we started this project, it was largely a way for us to document our family adventures. We’ve gone from iPhone pics to our full-frame DSLR. We’d love if you followed us on our journey in photography!
join the standby list
we can’t guarantee you a seat on the plane, but we can certainly keep you entertained while you wait! each week, we’ll be sending out some great emails to our standby list.
