Travel has the power to do more than take us somewhere new — it brings families closer together and creates shared experiences that last a lifetime.

At Global Travel for Kids, we believe the most meaningful journeys are the ones families take together. When parents and children explore the world side by side, they don’t just see new places — they build memories, gain perspective, and develop a deeper understanding of the world around them.

Global Travel for Kids was founded by travel advisor Sue Painter, owner of Travel Changes Life, a successful travel agency built on the belief that travel has the power to shape lives.

With a lifetime of global exploration that spans every continent, all 50 U.S. states, and more than 100 countries, Sue brings both perspective and practical insight to every journey she designs. She understands not only what makes a destination come alive, but how to make travel smooth and truly enjoyable for families – a vacation for everyone.

Her passion has always been simple: to introduce people of all ages to new destinations, cultures, and experiences, and to help families create memories they will talk about for years to come.

As the business has grown, Sue’s husband Bill Painter has joined as a travel advisor, bringing additional support and a shared enthusiasm for helping families explore the world.

Together, they work with families who want more than a typical vacation. They design journeys that are not only smooth and well-planned, but also meaningful — experiences that inspire curiosity, encourage connection, and stay with you long after you return home.

We believe the trips your family takes today become the stories you tell for years to come.
