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.

The parents are reading every plaque, desperately trying to make this "educational." The kids are somewhere between bored and mutinous. Everyone's tired. Nobody's having fun. Later, at dinner, the parents try: "Wasn't that fascinating? All that history!" The kids shrug. This is what most "educational travel" looks like. And it doesn't...
