Mara Gorman

Mara Gorman, who blogs at The Mother of All Trips, doesn't know when or where she got bit by the travel bug – perhaps it was in Italy when she was nine? In France when she was nineteen? Or India when she was twenty nine? But having children has done nothing to cure her of it. In fact between June of 2003 and July of 2004 she and her husband I took her (then 1-year-old) son Tommy on an odyssey across six states, three countries, and two continents. The arrival of her second son, Teddy in 2005 hasn’t done much to slow her down. Whether it’s to Wisconsin or Arizona, Paris or Vermont, she and her family all love to hop on a plane or hit the road. The Mother of All Trips is a how-to without lists: Part travelogue, part memoir, and part meditation on motherhood. In it, Mara shares stories about trips she's taken with her children and those she hopes to take offering wisdom and insight along the way. Her goal is to inspire parents to travel, whether it's around the globe or around the block
