Welcome to Tiny Travelers Guide, a family travel blog that helps parents plan and enjoy trips with their kids. I’m Astrid, the creator of this space, a software engineer by profession, and a travel enthusiast at heart.
Travel can be a transformative experience for parents and children, and I’m here to make it as easy and enjoyable as possible.
Our Journey Begins
My travel story started in the skies as a baby, playing in an airplane cockpit, all thanks to my grandparents’ love for travel. This spirit of exploration has been a constant in my life, taking me to over 30 countries, each with its own unique flavors and diverse cultures.
Alongside my husband, who shares an even deeper passion for travel, we’ve ventured from Brazil’s vibrant streets to Thailand’s serene beaches. Each destination has left us with countless experiences and valuable lessons.
The arrival of Ollie in August 2019, followed by Theo in April 2022, completely transformed our adventures into a family journey. Our first family trip to Croatia was eye-opening – a seamless blend of our love for travel with the exciting new dynamics of parenting. It was a truly unforgettable experience that brought us even closer as a family.
The laughter of our children, their wide-eyed wonder at new sights, and the warmth of family bonding in unfamiliar lands inspired the creation of Tiny Travelers Guide.
Every step of our journey has taught us valuable lessons that we’re excited to share with other adventurous families.
More Than a Travel Blog
The Tiny Travelers Guide is more than just about sharing our travels after becoming parents. It’s about creating a collection of happy adventures and laughs with my kids.
I’m dedicated to giving Ollie and Theo a childhood filled with exploration and learning about new cultures. My goal is to light up their world with the rich experiences that travel brings.
And, of course, I want to inspire you to do the same with your kids! Let’s embark on this incredible journey of discovery together!

Who I Am
Let me introduce myself:
Astrid chacon
Software Engineer & Family Travel Enthusiast
I’m Astrid, a software engineer from Venezuela who’s always had a deep love for traveling. My journeys have taken me all the way from Venezuela to Europe and beyond, and they’ve fueled my passion for showing my family the wonders of the world.
Since I was a kid, I’ve been fortunate to explore new cultures and embark on exciting adventures. Our trips with my husband and kids, Ollie and Theo, are all about enjoying each moment and adapting to our children’s needs.
Inspired by the knowledge I’ve gained from other travel blogs, I created Tiny Travelers Guide to help parents navigate the joys and challenges of family travel. My approach is simple and practical, focusing on essential tips and flexible itineraries. Through the blog, I aim to inspire families by sharing easy travel tips and ideas that hopefully work for them.
