Hi! I’m Liv,
And I’m always ready to go on vacation! How about you?
Travel has always been about more than checking destinations off a list for me. It’s about the moments you remember long after you’ve unpacked your suitcase. Watching your child experience something for the first time, sharing an incredible meal with the people you love, wandering a neighborhood you never expected to fall in love with, or finding those little surprises that become the stories you tell for years to come.
As a family travel consultant, I love helping others create those kinds of experiences. I know firsthand that planning a vacation means balancing different interests, budgets, schedules, and travel styles. That’s why I’m passionate about sharing destination inspiration, practical travel tips, and thoughtful recommendations that help families make the most of their time together.
When I’m not planning vacations or researching my next destination, you’ll usually find me exploring Southern California with my family, dreaming up our next adventure, or creating travel-inspired products for my Etsy shop. I live in Los Angeles with my husband, kids, and our fur baby, Stewart Littles, who firmly believes every road trip should include plenty of snack breaks.
The California Travel Mom is where I share my favorite destinations, travel inspiration, planning tips, honest recommendations, and a little behind-the-scenes look at our family’s adventures. Whether you’re here looking for ideas for your next vacation, curious about a destination, or just love following along, I’m so glad you’re here.
I hope this little corner of the internet inspires you to explore somewhere new, create meaningful memories, and discover that some of life’s best moments happen when you step outside your everyday routine.
