2022-08-01 by Lindsay Nieminen

I have been traveling solo with my kids since they were babies. Whether it was a weekend in Southern California to visit Legoland or a few weeks in Hawaii. In those cases my (then) husband was not able to come because he had to work. Fast forward to now, and I travel solo with my […]

2022-03-15 by Lindsay Nieminen

La Paz Mexico - Whale Shark feeding at surface.

Transformative travel is such a big word, but our experience swimming with whale sharks in La Paz was exactly that; something that none of us will soon forget.

Why it is important to share Authentic Indigenous experiences with our children

2021-10-10 by Lindsay Nieminen

Edmonton - Indigenous Art Park with Kids

For an authentic and eye-opening trip in Alberta with kids, Indigenous travel experiences are far more likely to go beyond the landscapes and activities.

About the Author

Lindsay Nieminen author of Carpe Diem OUR way

Lindsay Nieminen

I help families travel boldly.

Whether that’s exploring Jordan’s epic sights, road-tripping through Central America, or finding adventure here at home in Canada, I believe kids don’t hold you back — they give you a better reason to go.

I specialize in:

  • Adventure travel with kids
  • Travel to misunderstood destinations
  • Realistic family itineraries for kids of all ages

When I’m not traveling, I’m likely driving someone to practice or running a food tour company in Amman.

Welcome to Carpe Diem OUR Way — where we seize the day as a family because time is not promised.
