Our Routes & Roots

Hi, I’m Hadia Shahid — an aerospace engineer turned stay-at-home mom, travel lover, and creator of Our Routes & Roots.

As a family of four, we explore nearby state parks, Midwestern gems, and national parks through quick day trips and weekend getaways. Here, I share family-friendly destination guides, budget travel tips, outdoor adventures, and real-life parenting hacks to help you create meaningful memories without the stress — or the splurge.
