Media featuring 2TravelDads – interviews, webisodes, TV, promos and more!

Part of running 2TravelDads: the Original LGBTQ Family Travel Blog is sharing our unique perspective and experiences beyond our own site and podcast. From Travel & Leisure to Parents Magazine, Yahoo! Travel to Better Homes and Gardens, there are lots of audiences that are interested (or just curious) to hear our take on traveling with kids and incorporating education into our family adventures. We’re happy to share!

It’s funny, because when I started 2TravelDads in 2014 I thought our stories and ideas for inclusive family travel would just land with some local LGBTQ families around the Pacific Northwest. Within a few months the blog and where we got to share grew tremendously, which shifted our whole way of looking at what 2TravelDads had become. Today, we get to share our itineraries and tips with people from all around the world, and not only focusing on LGBTQ-centric travel.

Produced Video Projects and Campaigns

Whether it’s national television or an online video series, our family loves getting in front of the camera (yes, the kids do too!). We’ve gotten to do some awesome projects, including public television series, commercial shoots with Disney, web series with Best Western and more. Below you’ll find some of our favorite video projects where we have gotten to share our unique perspective as a traveling LGBTQ family in the world.

Samantha Brown’s Places to Love – St Augustine

We’re always happy to share our town with visitors, and when the duchess of travel asks if she can come visit, you say “Heck yah!!” Sam and her crew asked us to share one of our favorite parts of St Augustine, FL with the Places to Love audience on PBS and we couldn’t say no. Take a look at, not just one of our favorite shark tooth beaches, but our wonderful town and how we, as an LGBTQ family, fit into it.

Full episode information and notes here. (our segment begins at minute 17:00). Thank you, Sam and crew, for letting us share our home with the PBS viewer world (and thank you for writing the foreword to my book!). [trailer here]

UnCruise Adventures – Kids in Nature Video Production

As a part of our partnership with UnCruise Adventures we were tasked with capturing and sharing the Kids in Nature experience offered by the company. The series of videos and collaborative social media was a great success and the most fun storytelling marketing project we’ve been a part of.

Sea-Doo Marketing and Promotional Partnership

Sometimes we tell our story and sometime we’re the talent for a shoot. Working with Sea-Doo we got to be both! Collaborating with a family-forward brand like See-Doo was both fun and fascinating. This was a great opportunity to both teach our kids about water safety and be a part of launching the brand’s new line of boats.

Best Western Hotels & Resorts Webisodes

Our ambassadorship with Best Western Hotels and Resorts was an amazing project, cut short by the COVID pandemic. Exploring the different corners of the USA and Canada, the BW Travel Zone was a great experience sharing both new and old favorite destinations with viewers (and our kids). From Chris’s stomping grounds of his Navy days in San Diego to the rural highlands of Nova Scotia, National Parks to Instagramable Palm Springs, we only got to scratch the surface of this awesome partnership before the pandemic cut it short.

Leavenworth WA Visitors Bureau

Leavenworth, Washington has long been one of our favorite destinations. Getting to partner with the visitors bureau to share our favorite spots around the town and mountains was a treat. It’s always been a place that we’ve felt welcome as an LGBTQ family so being able to share that to the public was a genuine joy for us.

Promotional Spot: Victoria Clipper & Royal BC Museum

If I had a nickel for every visit we’ve made to Victoria BC, I’d have a dollar. Partnering with the Victoria Clipper and Royal BC Museum, we again got to share one of our travel joys AND be the on-screen talent. I love looking back at some of our older campaign projects and seeing how small the kids were. They still love doing trips and projects like this today!

TV Interview: New Day Northwest, King 5 Seattle

What you don’t see is that Rain Wilson (Dwight from The Office) was on right before we were. I’ve written two books and was fortunate to get to share one of them with King 5 Seattle’s New Day Northwest.

Travel Highlights w/ Alamo Rent a Car – partnership

I have to include this video partnership because it was our very first time doing this sort of work. It’s amazing to see where we started and where we are today, both with video skills and how we’re able to tell stories so much better.

Exploring Pixar Pier Food w/ Disneyland Resort

I just love this video because it was such a fun project. This is just a slice of our partnership with the Disneyland Resort and Disney Parks.

Written Features w/ 2TravelDads

If only I’d started keeping track of print publications and article features when I first started working in travel journalism in 1997 (that’s right! I was first published when I was 15 years old). I finally have started saving interviews, guest content features and major publications. In addition to these online features, my writing has been featured in:

  • Better Homes & Gardens
  • Travel & Leisure
  • Parents Magazine
  • British Airways In Flight
  • Costco Travel
  • Happenings Magazine and more.
Taylor Family LGBTQ Disney World Content Project

When it comes to recent online features…

As we continue to share our stories and travel advice, we’ll keep this page updated. Thank you to the many writers and publications who found value in our tales and tips. Expanding others’ worlds through travel is a group effort and we’re happy to be a part of it!
