In Episode 4 of You Came to the Right Place, co-hosts Natasha Lair and Jen Mallia sit down with Canadian media personality, travel writer, and parenting expert Kathy Buckworth to unpack one of the biggest trends advisors are navigating right now: multi-generational travel.

Fresh off a trip to Club Med in the Dominican Republic, Buckworth shares what really happens when you put three generations on one vacation—from car seats on planes to splitting suitcases with diapers and formula. The conversation dives into the logistics advisors don’t always see, the emotional dynamics at play, and why destination familiarity matters.

“Who needs more naps—granddad or the baby?”

Buckworth brings real credibility, and this is not another fluffy “multi-gen travel is trending” conversation—it’s what actually happens when you put grandparents, adult kids, and toddlers on one trip (tantrums, logistics, exhaustion), alongside practical takeaways advisors can use.

ABOUT THE HOSTS
Between them, Natasha Lair and Jen Mallia bring more than four decades of media and travel editorial experience to the mic. Ontario-based Natasha, Managing Editor of TravelPulse Canada, is warm, funny and deeply curious, known for finding the human angle and cutting through industry spin with factual, unbiased reporting. Edmonton-based Jen, Senior Editor and travel media expert, pairs two decades of travel editorial experience with charm, quick wit and sharp industry insight. From Central Canada to the West, they’ve got their ears to the ground, delivering real talk, smart analysis and just enough sarcasm to keep it interesting.
