Hi there!
I’m a San Francisco Bay Area–based family travel and culture writer covering destinations, hotels, and experiences that work for real families.
My work focuses on travel with teens and tweens, as well as multi-generational trips shaped by local culture where food, language, and everyday life are part of the journey. I’m especially drawn to destinations that thoughtfully welcome families across generations, whether 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
