Kim Orlando, TravelingMom™.com founder, thought leader, and mompreneur has spent the past ten very full years raising her three children in Connecticut while working, volunteering and traveling.

A graduate of the Eller School of Management at the University of Arizona, Kim was destined for entrepreneurial ventures. Her background and experience includes running a successful document management business for 11 years, founding ACT Workshops - a school that specialized in creating opportunities for kids to flourish and many, many fund-raising projects for school and community endeavors.

The reality of being a traveling mom for Kim was not the exotic one she imagined -- frolicking on sandy beaches and in jewel blue oceans. Kim found herself in the traveling mom trenches, staying overnight in New Jersey for work every week and dealing with the challenge of being a well-balanced and available mom.

Kim created TravelingMom™ to create a network full of insight, experience, vision, and energy for all moms who travel - a place for inspiration and for moms to learn, laugh, and groan about the joys and perils of traveling, to encourage moms to share, learn, and connect with one another through life’s real travel experiences by adding spice and humor to them.

This busy and often hectic lifestyle inspired Kim to find ways to make traveling easier for moms. She has been selected as the travel expert for bluesuitmom.com and NewBaby.com, HotMomsClub.com and has been featured in Good HouseKeeping, NY Times Travel, Forbes.com, Hannah Storm’s CBS News Blog, University of Arizona’s Alumni Newsletter and The Montel Williams Show.
