Colleen Lanin

Travel blogger and author Colleen Lanin launched TravelMamas.com in 2009, initially to empower parents to confidently navigate global travel with children. Her mantra, "You CAN travel with children…and stay SANE!", underpinned a platform that has since evolved into Colleen Travels Between.com. Now encompassing "Grownup Getaways," her content offers destination guides and practical tips for "intentional travelers" seeking to bridge courage and comfort in their explorations. Lanin’s work spans diverse travel experiences, from family adventures with babies, toddlers, and school-aged children, to luxury escapes involving spa treatments and hotel pools, alongside practical advice on budget-friendly travel. Her approach emphasizes continuous learning and adaptability, ensuring content remains relevant and comprehensive across the ever-changing digital landscape. Author of the award-winning book, "The Travel Mamas' Guide," Lanin has also contributed travel and lifestyle content to TODAY Travel, Parenting Magazine, The Chicago Tribune, and Expedia. Her influence extends to national TV and radio features, and she has received two invitations to the White House as a leading travel blogger. Based in Scottsdale, Arizona, Lanin inspires readers to embrace both adventure and indulgence, demonstrating travel as a transformative experience for all ages and stages.
