About me

Hi, I am Samira

I am the mom behind Mayana Voyage. I have always been passionate about travel. I travelled for work, I travelled for fun, and when my kids were born, I kept going. I was born in France, raised in Niger and now live in Canada. I speak French, and I have visited 40+ countries along the way.

We are a family of 4, my husband and I and our 2 young kids, and our kids started travelling with us when they were just 3 months old. Some of our favourite trips together have been São Paulo, Dubai, Abidjan and Helsinki.

My career is in tech consulting, where I worked as a project manager with a focus on people and diversity. Today I advise organizations on people strategy, and I bring that same love of planning to every family trip I share here.

I aim to inspire you and show you that it is possible to travel with young kids and feel comfortable and confident doing it.

  • I am organized, relatable, and I travel with a global mindset.
  • I believe in smart planning and travelling in a way that feels good: staying in beautiful hotels, taking taxis when it makes sense, overpacking if it makes things easier, and choosing experiences that both parents and kids enjoy.
“Babies belong on planes.
“If kids live there, families can go there.
“Travel is education for children and perspective for us.
