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.

Kuelap: The 1,500-Year-Old Fortress You've Never Heard Of
Most people have heard of Machu Picchu. Almost nobody knows about the fortress that's roughly 900 years older. Kuelap, built by the Chachapoya "Cloud Warriors" in the 6th century, is now live in the Duckabroad app . Why Kuelap? Each of the fortress's three entrances narrows to a corridor so tight that a single warrior could hold off an attacking army. It's defensive architecture at its most elegant and the kind of detail that makes kids lean in and ask questions. The Cloud Warriors who built...
