About Us

We’re glad you’re here

Welcome to Groups Are A Trip! I’m Kirsten of Kids Are A Trip and I started this site because I felt there was a need for ideas when traveling with a group. My background is in family travel; this site just seemed like a natural progression as my children are getting older.

We have planned dozens of group trips with our own families and friends, so we are here to share that knowledge with you. Our plan is to provide you with destination ideas, travel tips, and inspiration to plan that next trip with ease.

As always, if you have any questions, please reach out to us at groupsareatrip @gmail.com.
