Jody Halsted is a family travel authority and social media educator.

Jody's family has been rambling since the girls were infants and in these years of travel has learned a thing or two about what makes a great family trip, how to spend days in a car without going crazy and how to make flying with kids look easy!

At Family Rambling, Jody shares family travel tips, destinations and first hand experiences; true thoughts about where we go, what we do and what we use. Family Rambling is all about inspiring families to travel together- no destination is too close to create lasting memories!

At Ireland With Kids, Jody shares her family's love of the Emerald Isle- and Irish culture- doing her best to change the perception of Ireland as a place for single travelers and more “seasoned” tourists to a place filled with magic and wonder the entire family can enjoy.

In 2012 Jody spearheaded a campaign to bring prominence to Midwest travel. The project, called Fly in to Fly Over Country: Travel Midwest, is a collaborative effort and open to anyone who wants to join.

In 2013 Jody launched Ireland Family Vacations, a site designed to help families plan a magical Ireland vacation.

Jody also writes for various online and print publications.

Jody is active in social media, sharing her knowledge via Facebook and Twitter. She also works with CVBs as a copywriter and FAM trip organizer.
