About

In late 2017, I decided to take the leap and start building a family travel app. For years, I had wanted a way for our family to learn about the history of the places we visited and keep track of the memories we had together.


What came from this is DuckAbroad, a family friendly travel app for tracking the places you visit by collecting stamps and stickers in your own virtual passport. It's been a fun and challenging experience. I've created all the collectible stamps and stickers, coded an app that's now available on iOS and Android, and worked endlessly on the content to provide knowledge and insight on over 150 cities, 350 points of interest, and every country.


Eight years later, I'm still adding more content and better ways for families to explore the world together.

Out into deep space, farther than any human has traveled since 1972. Four astronauts are now on their way around the Moon. If your kids were watching, they witnessed something that hasn't happened in their lifetimes, or in most of their parents' lifetimes either. The last time humans traveled beyond low Earth...

Screen Time You Can Feel Good About: Travel Edition
Every parent knows the feeling. You've planned a trip to Washington D.C., or you're halfway through a road trip to the Grand Canyon, and someone hands a phone to the kids. Within minutes, they're deep in YouTube or a game that has nothing to do with where you are. It's a familiar tension. You want them engaged with the world around them, not a screen. But you also know screens are part of life, and fighting them every mile of the trip is exhausting. Here's the thing most parenting advice...
