Most trips don’t fall apart because of bad luck. They fall apart because of small decisions made too early.
The Long Haired Traveler focuses on practical, real-world travel planning for families who don’t have unlimited time, unlimited energy, or unlimited budgets.
I don’t just show beautiful places. I break down how to structure your day so you don’t waste it.
That means:
• Choosing the right direction before traffic ruins momentum • Knowing which “easy” stops actually cost more energy than they look • Finding dog-friendly places that don’t feel like an afterthought • Avoiding the tourist traps that quietly drain your trip
Most travel content tells you where to go. I focus on how to move through it.
If you’re traveling with kids, limited time, or a dog in the back seat, this site is built for you.
