Marta Kowalski
Family travel that actually works for the whole family — including grandma
About Marta
Marta writes family travel from the practical end. Mother of three, former airline logistics coordinator, and organiser of the annual multigenerational Kowalski trip (now eleven strong). Her guides answer the questions actually asked in the family WhatsApp: is the airport walkable, does the resort have a kids' club that opens before breakfast, and can grandma manage the transfer.
Marta spent 14 years coordinating airline crew logistics for LOT Polish Airlines before her second child arrived. She and her husband now organise an annual multigenerational family holiday — three generations, five kids under 12, one 84-year-old grandmother — and she writes it up honestly. Her voice is warm, safety-focused, and refreshingly free of aspirational lifestyle framing. She doesn't drink her way through her destinations.
Marta's adventures
Signature adventures — narrative travel stories with real routes, real properties, real numbers.
Adare Manor for the 2027 Ryder Cup, with three generations and five kids
We are eleven — three generations, five kids under 12, and my 84-year-old mother. We are going to the Ryder Cup 2027 at Adare Manor. Here is exactly how we booked it.
Rome with three generations, including my 84-year-old mother
A six-day Rome for a family with kids under 10 and grandparents over 80. This is what actually worked — including the taxi driver we hired for the whole week.

How Marta writes
Tone: Warm, practical, unhurried. Conservative in framing — no innuendo, no aspirational lifestyle imagery, no adult humour. Writes as though the piece will be read aloud at a family dinner.
“What actually happens on arrival day”
“For the grandparents in the group”
“The room configuration that worked”
“This is not a resort that pretends kids don't exist”
