27. Family Travel Simplified with Travel Keeper, Plus Tips for Travelling on Points for Families for Five or More
Travel Keeper is my new FAVORITE app for planning family travel. This app has it all- it has transformed the way I plan family travel for the better. This app was built by a mom who plans family travel on points in real life, and it shows! I am so excited to share this with you. I sat down with Megan, the brains behind the Travel Keeper app, to hear all about what the app has to offer, and how it came to be.
Megan, the creator of Travel Keeper, also took some time to share real life tips for travelling on points for families with 5 or more. If you have a bigger family, you know planning travel (especially on points) can be a bit more complex. Megan has been doing it for years, and has some great systems in place to keep everyone happy and trips running smoothly.
