Who we are
A real family that travels, not a travel agency.
Kelly is a registered nurse and the points nerd of the family. ND grew up in Rajasthan and served 11 years in the US Army. Micah and Caleb come along for all of it, and help plan most of it.
Everything we teach comes from trips we’ve taken ourselves, including the ones that went sideways.
Where we go deepest
India and Nepal, with people who know them from the inside.
Most families never try India because it feels like too much. ND grew up in Rajasthan and still goes home every year, and our boys have been coming along since they were little. We plan it with an RN’s eye for what worries parents.
