Kids are hardwired for a sense of novelty and new experiences. Travel meets this need and also their sense of wonder and imagination as they try new experiences, taste different food and meet new people.

Jennifer Allen is a mum of three who is the founder behind Wonders Within Reach - a special needs based travel family organization. Together with her husband and three kids - one who requires assistive devices to aid in his mobility, they hike bike and travel sharing in their experiences.
