If you’ve ever found yourself cramming into a “suite” that was really just a glorified hallway — or trying to make an itinerary work for a whole family — this episode is for you.

We’re joined by Thilmin Gee, a family travel specialist and mom of 5-year-old twins who knows firsthand how the right accommodations can make or break a trip. After experiencing several travel mishaps early on, Thilmin made it her mission to match parents full itineraries for them based on local parent recommendations. Parents can customize these itineraries through Togethr AI capabilities.

With her background as a “travel warrior” who’s lived in LA, Japan, New York, and now the Bay Area — and explored everywhere from Southeast Asia to cross-country U.S. road trips — Thilmin brings a rare mix of global experience and practical parent insight.

From avoiding the most common hotel-booking mistakes parents make to choosing accommodations that match your kids’ routines, this episode will help you skip the chaos and create smoother, more restful family trips.

✨ Just a few of the questions we tackled in this episode:

• What should parents look for when booking a hotel for young kids?
• How can I find real suites and true connecting rooms (not “maybe on arrival”)?
• What hotel amenities matter most — and which ones aren’t worth the hype?
• Are some destinations more family-accommodation-friendly than others?
• What travel mistakes did Thilmin make early on that she wants other parents to avoid?
