Our Focus: Budget Travel, Autism, and Gluten-Free Life
We have four beautiful children who keep us on our feet. My oldest and youngest both have autism and are the heart behind the blog.
Despite the fact that our family has grown, our budget has not! Our blog focuses on budget family travel, autism, and a splash of Disney.
There’s a favorite saying in the autism community that focuses on the uniqueness of each individual. “If you know one person with autism, then you know one person with autism.” Essentially, no two people with ASD are alike.
Meet Dr. Caitlin Goodwin, APRN: Medical Expertise & Parent Experience
My name is Caitlin Goodwin and I am an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) with 14 years in the medical field. I earned my doctorate(2021) from Frontier Nursing University, where I also received my Master’s in Nursing: Midwifery (2025). In fact, I realized my son was autistic while teaching a maternal-child health course to student nurses.
Educating people through writing is my passion. But providing practical tips on budget family travel with autism hits closer to home. We are the autism family travel blog dedicated to sharing what works for us.
We don’t claim to experience life as someone with Autism. As our sons grow, we will share his perspective, if he desires. We can only share how we’ve best navigated travel with our children and the sensory considerations we take into account.
Our Journey: Family Travel, Autism, & Gluten-Free Life
This blog is a resource to share our journey with other parents who were afraid to travel with their autistic child.
Traveling has always been my passion. It took some time to find a rhythm, but we enjoy traveling as a family now. We have learned through trial and error that it is possible to establish a routine on vacation. However, the most crucial skills is working together to be flexible through the unknowns of a new destination.
