👋 Meet Christine

Midwest Mom, Family Traveler, and Memory-Maker

Hi, and welcome to The Taylor Travel Tribe!


I’m Christine Taylor—wife to Kurtis and mom to five wonderful kids: Colton (4), Austin (12), Wyatt (10), Miles (8), and Annabel (7). We live in Chardon, Ohio, a small town just east of Cleveland.

With five kids in school and sports, life is wonderfully full. But that makes our time away together even more meaningful. Whether it’s a quick Ohio day trip, a weekend getaway across the Midwest, or (when we’re lucky!) a full week away, traveling has become our favorite way to reconnect, laugh, and soak in the beauty of God’s creation.

🌿 Our Travel Philosophy

We’ve learned that you don’t need extravagant trips to make lasting memories. Some of our best adventures have been budget-friendly getaways just a few hours from home—hiking in Ohio’s state parks, exploring small towns, or finding hidden gems around the Great Lakes.

We love showing families that travel doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive—it just takes curiosity, flexibility, and a sense of adventure.

💛 Why I Started This Blog

I created The Taylor Travel Tribe to share real-life family travel inspiration for busy parents who want to explore more but don’t know where to start. Here, you’ll find:

  • Family-tested road trip itineraries from Ohio and beyond
  • Midwest getaway ideas for every season
  • Travel tips to make adventures with kids easier (and a lot more fun!)

My hope is that our stories encourage your family to slow down, explore together, and create your own unforgettable memories—whether close to home or across the country.

📬 Stay Connected

Thanks so much for being here!

Let’s make adventure part of everyday life—one road trip at a time.

💛 Christine
