Welcome

Welcome to Family Travels on a Budget! We’re so glad you found this site!

We are quite passionate about all things family travel. Of course, budget travel is a cornerstone — but budget doesn’t always mean cheap. This whole thing started with a dream trip to Paris!

As our vacation budget has increased, we have enjoyed discovering new places. We enjoy cruise travel, adventure travel (like ICE HIKING a waterfall), and quick getaways.

Meet Karen Dawkins

An avid traveler, I enjoy discovering new places: history, culture, and adventure. I love it all! Well, not bugs. I don’t like bugs very much, so I probably won’t visit a bug museum.
