You don’t need an elaborate vacation to make a day feel like an adventure. A few thoughtful essentials can make it easier to get outside, explore somewhere new, and enjoy the day together.
Laura Doyal is an author, creator, and founder of DoodlePie Magic Press. She creates meaningful stories, experiences, and resources designed to help children and families explore, imagine, grow, and make memories together.
She is the creator of Compass Club, a screen-light adventure brand that encourages kids to move, create, learn, give, and lead, and the author behind The Suitcase Summers, a middle-grade adventure series about family, courage, and a little unexpected magic.
Through her work and her founder platform, Build Something Bigger, Laura also shares the behind-the-scenes journey of turning ideas into something real—one meaningful step at a time.
When she isn’t writing or building her next project, Laura can usually be found with her family, planning an adventure, reading a good book, or dreaming up what comes next.
