About Linen & Luggage
I'm Kristina McCulley, a luxury family travel advisor, the founder of KM Luxe Travel, and a mom who plans every trip around the kids. KM Luxe Travel is affiliated with SmartFlyer and the Virtuoso network.
Linen & Luggage started with the packing notes I send my own clients: what the weather is really like that month, what to wear to dinner, which little things save the day, and what you can leave at home. Every destination here gets the same treatment, with a weather table and a packing list that adjusts to your month and your kids' ages.
How these lists are made
Each list starts with the advice I give clients as a travel advisor. Where our family has been ourselves, you'll find a "What I learned on our trip" box and my own photos, and I add to those after every trip. Weather figures are typical averages, not forecasts, and travel rules change, so always check entry requirements before you go.
