Who Are We?
Rina Baraz Nehdar is Founder and Editor of L.A. Family Travel and mom to two rambunctious boys. Her life’s mission is to expose them to cultures outside their bubble – and to get them to stop fighting.
Her writing has won awards for print, television and radio journalism. Before kids, she appeared on television and radio as a news reporter and anchor. Rina switched to print journalism in between her baby’s naps and neglected chores. Since then, she’s become a frequent, happy contributor to many publications specializing in Family Travel, Business Luxury Travel, and general travel (see links below).
Brimming with ideas, Rina founded and now edits this digital family travel magazine which aims to help busy, adventurous families everywhere overcome the challenges of traveling with children and find great family trip ideas through experiential stories filled with essential information.
Rina includes writers from across the country to expand the reach of the destinations we can share with other real families who may not be ready to sell it all and quit it all to travel; who just want a great vacation with their kids or girlfriends or husbands.
