Planning Family Vacations Shouldn't Feel Like a Second Job
We're parents who learned the hard way that the best family memories come from smart planning—not perfect planning.
How We Got Started
The "Aha!" Moment
It started on a "relaxing" family trip to Italy. We had 15 browser tabs open, a messy Excel sheet, and two kids crying because we hadn't booked tickets for the Colosseum in advance.
We realized something had to change. Not the travel—we love showing our kids the world. But the chaos of planning had to go.
We asked ourselves: Why isn't there a tool that handles the boring stuff (budget, logistics) so we can focus on the fun stuff? That's when Endless Travel Plans was born.

And something amazing happened: Travel became fun again.
Friends started asking for our "system." Then friends of friends. Then complete strangers on parenting forums. So we built Endless Travel Plans—the planning tools we wish had existed when we started.
What We Believe
Collaborative, Not Combative
Family travel planning should bring you together, not tear you apart. Everyone deserves a voice in the adventure.
Budgets Matter, But So Do Memories
You don't need unlimited funds to create unforgettable experiences. Smart planning beats big spending every time.
Experiences Over Excess
The best family trips aren't the most expensive ones—they're the ones where everyone feels happy, heard, and present.
Real Advice from Real Parents
The best travel tips come from parents who've actually been there—not marketing agencies or influencers.
How We Work
We Don't Do Fake Reviews
Every destination guide, product recommendation, and planning tip comes from real experience. If we haven't tested it, we don't recommend it. You won't find fake "47,000 happy families!" claims here.
We Keep It Free (Mostly)
Our core tools and all our guides are 100% free. We make money through travel affiliate partnerships—when you book trips or buy gear we recommend, we earn a small commission. This keeps our tools free for families who need them most.
We Listen
Our roadmap comes from parents like you. The features we build, the guides we write, the destinations we cover—they're all driven by what real families actually need. Have an idea? Let us know.
Our Values
âś“ Honest Over Hype
No fake stats, no inflated testimonials, no "thousands of happy families" claims we can't back up. Just real tools and honest advice.
âś“ Accessible to All
Premium features exist, but our core mission—helping families plan better trips—will always be free. Travel is for everyone, not just those who can afford $200/year tools.
âś“ Built by Parents, For Parents
We get it. Because we live it. The sibling squabbles, the budget stress, the forgotten sunscreen, the 3 AM "did we book the hotel?" panic. All of it. We're not travel bloggers or marketing gurus—we're just parents trying to make family travel suck less.
