Experience

I’m Mandisa, a former MBA and CPA turned full-time creator, author, and family travel planner. Before launching Roam with Three, I spent years building and scaling Happy Toddler Playtime, one of the most recognized activity platforms for parents of young children.

My background blends:

Strategic planning and finance
Curriculum and experience design for kids
Content creation across blogs, books, and television

I’m also the author of multiple children’s activity books, including Exciting Sensory Bins for Curious Kids, Super STEAM Activity Book, and The Big Riddle Book for Kids, and the host and co-producer of the TVO Kids series Curious Crafting.

Roam with Three grew naturally out of traveling with my own family — including three kids (one older child and twins)— and realizing how few travel resources truly account for the realities of traveling with multiple children.

Expertise

My work focuses on family travel that prioritizes logistics, flow, and kid engagement, including:

Multi-day city itineraries designed for families
Walking routes that minimize transit fatigue
Kid-friendly museums, parks, and cultural experiences
Hotel and neighborhood selection for families
Travel planning for parents visiting cities for the first time with kids
Themed and experience-based walking tours

Every guide on Roam with Three is personally tested or built from real travel experience, with parent-specific considerations baked in from the start.

Education

MBA (Master of Business Administration)
CPA (Chartered Professional Accountant)

My education and professional background strongly influence how I approach travel planning — structured, efficient, and focused on delivering real value.

Content & Contributions

My work has appeared across:

Best-selling parenting and activity books
A nationally broadcast children’s television series
High-traffic parenting and family lifestyle platforms

Roam with Three builds on this foundation by offering premium, long-form travel guides designed specifically for families.

A Personal Note

Traveling with three kids means flexibility isn’t optional — it’s essential. I’ve learned firsthand which experiences feel magical and which ones look good on paper but don’t translate well with kids in tow.

Roam with Three exists to help families travel with confidence, not pressure — and to make trips feel memorable for the right reasons.
