What We Look For
We love finding partnerships that are a natural fit for what we love: outdoor adventures, off-the-beaten-path experiences, and spending time together as a family. Our audience loves reading about culinary travel, cultural experiences, luxury destinations, city escapes, and hidden gems.
Experience
We have been fortunate to have explored over 25 countries with our children and have been writing about our travels for the last five years. With my diverse experience as a teacher, event planner, and marketer, I know what families are looking for and how to communicate what parents are seeking. I am seen as an authentic and honest voice in the industry which is a win-win for both of us. Our contributors add their broad range of travel experiences and bring their unique voices to our website and brand.
Partnerships
Currently I am a brand ambassador for Travelocity and Moon Travel Guides. I have worked on campaigns for several major brands including: Mastercard, Adventures by Disney, Nestlé, Vail Tourism, Martinhal Resorts, Visit Phoenix, Bank of America, Hyatt, and the German Tourism Board.
“Kirsten was a pleasure to work with! I really appreciated her ability to translate a complicated product into authentic content that showcased an amazing vacation experience at its best to her followers.” – Lisa Mendillo, Adventures by Disney
“Kirsten’s Kids Are A Trip is an authority on family travel that goes far beyond that of a typical blogger. Her travel stories are fair, balanced, and entertaining while providing legitimately useful service journalism for families who’ve caught the travel bug. Her inclusion of teen-friendly travel is commendable as well and especially helpful for the travelers we’re hoping to reach. I highly recommend working with Kirsten and Kids Are A Trip.” – Claire Koenig, Visit Milwaukee
