Hi there!
I’m a family travel and culture writer based in the San Francisco Bay Area, covering destinations, hotels, and experiences that work for real families from toddlers to teens.
My travel writing focuses on trips that balance fun, culture, and practicality, with special attention to food, local experiences, and places that feel exciting for kids without being overwhelming for parents. I’m especially drawn to destinations that welcome families in thoughtful ways, whether that’s through walkable cities, memorable meals, or hands-on cultural experiences.
When I’m not reporting, I’m traveling with my family, chasing good food, and testing destinations the same way readers will actually experience them.
For editorial collaborations, destination coverage, or press trips, you can reach me at sands0415@gmail.com
