Roaming Crew—Make Moments Beyond Miles
Your guide to smarter, stress-free family travel in Asia
Roaming Crew is a family travel resource created for parents who want to explore Asia with kids in a way that’s safe, realistic, and stress-free.
I’m Shivani—a mum of two and the founder of Roaming Crew. Our family is Asia-based, and over the years we’ve lived in different parts of the region, including two years in India and four years in Singapore, moving as our work has taken us around Asia.
Living in Asia—not just visiting—has given us a real, on-the-ground understanding of what family travel here is actually like. From healthcare and transport to food, hygiene, and finding truly family-friendly places to stay, we’ve experienced the everyday realities that parents care about most.
We’re not just here to tell you where to go—we want to help you travel thoughtfully in Asia.
Why Roaming Crew Exists
When we started traveling in Asia with kids, I quickly realized that most travel advice isn’t written for families.
Much of what you find online is designed for:
- Backpackers
- Couples
- Short, fast-paced trips
- Adults who don’t have to plan around naps, strollers, picky eating, or tired kids
Roaming Crew was created to fill that gap.
This site is built for real parents who want to:
- Travel Asia safely with kids
- Choose calmer, cleaner destinations
- Plan trips that don’t feel rushed
- Avoid overwhelm
- Still experience culture in a meaningful way
Our Family Travel Experience in Asia
As a family, we’ve traveled to 15+ countries across Asia, including:
Japan, China, South Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, and more across Southeast Asia.
We travel with both a school-age child and a toddler, which means every guide on Roaming Crew is shaped by real-life family needs—from long flights and train travel to food choices, accommodation, and daily logistics.
How We Travel as a Family 🌏
We’re not full-time travelers—we’re working parents who plan trips around school breaks, work schedules, and our busy family life.
Our travel style focuses on:
- Clean, family-friendly stays
- Simple, kid-friendly food
- Slower, realistic pacing
- Private or comfortable transport when needed
- Activities that work for both kids and adults
We believe family travel doesn’t have to be chaotic—it just needs thoughtful planning and the right destinations.
