About Us

We are a typical Canadian family who loves to travel. We are a family made up of a mom (me – Nicole), dad (Jamie) and our kids Luca and Sofia. Some of our best memories and times spent as a family is when we are travelling and exploring the world.

Plain and simple it makes us happy!

It makes us so HAPPY that we set upon a once-in-a-lifetime adventure and took our kids to travel the world for 1 year! We sold almost everything and took off to visit 23 countries with our kids at ages 5 & 7. We pinched ourselves every day on the experiences, things we did, places we visited, the food we ate and time we were able to spend with our kids.

We want to share our experience with all those other parents out there that want to travel more with their kids. Travelling doesn’t stop when you have kids. So this is why I spend hours sharing our story to hopefully inspire other parents to just take that trip!

Go for it!

Let me introduce you to The Passport Kids team,

Luca (aka Lucs)

Luca is wise beyond his years, with a heart full of generosity and kindness. He loves learning about animals, sports and soaking everything into his brain when we travel. He is up for trying anything new on our adventures.

Sofia is all about fun! She just wants to run, play and live life to the fullest. She seeks out any fun things to do on our travels and enjoys every moment that brings her joy. She loves animals!

I have a sense of wanderlust, itchy-feet and always want to go somewhere new. I come up with the crazy ideas in the family and lead them on some amazing journeys that fill our lives with happiness. I absolutely LOVE everything about travel and the adventures that come along with those experiences.
