If you’ve ever thought about traveling internationally with your kids — especially somewhere that’s not a typical “family travel” destination — and wondered how you’d actually make it work… you’re not alone.

In this episode of Tiny Travelers, Sarah sits down with Ariana Johnson Patriz to talk about building a life, and a business, in El Salvador.

Originally from the U.S., Ariana shares her journey of moving abroad after marrying a Salvadorian, traveling internationally with young kids, and eventually settling down with a three-year-old and a four-month-old. Through that experience, she saw firsthand how challenging travel with little ones can be — and turned that insight into a BabyQuip business serving families visiting El Salvador.

From navigating an emerging tourism market to helping diaspora families travel home more easily, Ariana gives a real, behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to create access, build demand, and support families in a place where baby gear rentals are still a new concept.

Whether you’re curious about international travel, building a business in a new market, or just want a better understanding of what family travel looks like outside the U.S. — this episode will expand your perspective.
