Kristin Addis is the founder of ParenthoodAdventures.com. Having solo traveled the world for ten years prior to becoming a mom, she knew that she wanted to keep traveling after starting a family. By the time her son Felix turns two, he will already have visited 15 countries and taken hundreds of flights, the longest of which was 24 hours of back to back flying!

Kristin has been featured in Forbes, Vogue, Marie Claire, Buzzfeed, Business Insider, Nerdwallet, Inc., The Washington Post, UK Evening Standard, Travel Weekly, and Self, to name a few.

Her passion is to help families stay adventurous after parenthood, because there’s no reason to stop having fun just because you start a family.
