About The Family Vacationer
The Family Vacationer is a podcast hosted by Rob and Traci Jones that helps families create meaningful and memorable travel experiences together. The show blends practical advice with storytelling to inspire families to explore destinations near and far, while making the journey fun and rewarding for everyone.
Each week, Rob and Traci bring their warm, friendly, and informative style to interviews with travel experts, local tourism leaders, authors, and families who share their own adventures. Topics range from small-town getaways, national parks, and themed attractions to holiday travel, budgeting strategies, and safety tips. The show also highlights hidden gems across the U.S. and beyond—perfect for families who want something more than the usual big-city vacation.
Special themed series, like Christmas in the U.S., dive deep into unique destinations and traditions that make family travel magical during the holidays. Episodes are designed to balance practical, research-backed insights with inspiring stories that bring destinations to life.
Listeners can expect every episode to wrap up with Rob’s signature reminder: “Remember folks to keep your passports and your hearts open,” followed by Traci’s warm send-off: “Safe travels everyone.”
The Family Vacationer is also part of a growing family travel brand. Rob’s upcoming book, The Family Vacationer: A Parent’s Guide to Meaningful Travel (releasing December), expands on the podcast’s mission by offering strategies, stories, and practical guidance to make trips more intentional and memorable. The show extends its reach through Instagram and Substack, where listeners can find bonus content, travel guides, and behind-the-scenes stories.
Whether you’re planning a quick weekend getaway, a holiday adventure, or a once-in-a-lifetime vacation, The Family Vacationer is your trusted companion for creating family memories that last forever.
