About

Hi, I’m Lyla 👋

I’m a lifelong traveler, storyteller, and New York–based mom who believes that the best journeys don’t stop when your kids grow up – they simply evolve.

Globetrotting Mommy began years ago as a place to document adventures with my daughter: discovering new cities, cultures, food, and moments that felt bigger than any itinerary. Over time, those travels expanded to multigenerational trips, girlfriend getaways, cultural deep dives, and the kind of meaningful experiences that resonate even more in midlife.

Today, this space reflects that evolution.

What You’ll Find Here

Globetrotting Mommy is travel inspiration for women who want it all – connection, culture, comfort, curiosity, and fun – whether they’re traveling with kids, friends, partners, parents, or on their own.

Here you’ll find:

🌍 Destination guides rooted in real experiences
👩‍👧‍👦 Family & multigenerational travel tips
🧳 Girlfriend getaways & women 40+ travel ideas
🍽️ Food, culture & local discoveries
🎁 Thoughtful travel tips, packing ideas & gift guides

I share trips that balance style and substance – places where you can wander a market in the morning, enjoy a great meal at night, and come home feeling enriched, not exhausted.

My Travel Philosophy

I believe:

Travel should feel accessible, not intimidating
Comfort and adventure can coexist
Cultural curiosity keeps us young
The most memorable trips are often shared – with daughters, friends, sisters, or three generations at once

I’m not here to check countries off a list. I’m here to explore places deeply, thoughtfully, and joyfully – and to help you do the same.

Why Trust Globetrotting Mommy?

I write from experience, not trends.

I’ve traveled extensively with a child, with family, and now increasingly with friends – navigating everything from logistics to luxury, museums to markets, early mornings to late dinners. I share what works, what doesn’t, and what’s worth your time.

This blog is personal, practical, and honest – the kind of advice you’d get from a well-traveled friend over coffee.

Let’s Go Somewhere

Whether you’re planning your next family trip, dreaming about a girlfriend getaway, or simply craving inspiration for where to go next, I’m glad you’re here.

Welcome to Globetrotting Mommy…From Family Adventures to Girlfriend Getaways.
