A single mom has shared a series of inspiring videos showcasing her and her son’s travels around the world despite what others would perceive as difficulties.
When TeAndra Taylor, 34, from Dallas, Texas, became a single mom, she said she faced a world that expected her to buckle down and limit the opportunities for her and her son, Carson, 6.
But in Carson’s short life, he and his mom have visited 30 states, 24 countries, and five different continents – and counting.
As a way of inspiring other single moms, TeAndra shares videos of her and Carson’s adventures on her TikTok channel, which has gained tens of thousands of followers.

Some of Carson’s favorite locations have been Japan and Puerto Rico, TeAndra said, along with a Disney cruise that the pair took.
Carson has also been cliff diving in Puerto Rico and jet skiing in Egypt, as well as ice skating, swimming with dolphins, camel riding, and sandboarding.
According to TeAndra, much of her travel is dictated by looking for flight deals. If she and her son would like to head to a certain area, but one country is pricey, they will head to a nearby location that has a travel deal.
Once the flights are booked, TeAndra searches for suitable accommodation.
The pair are hoping to travel to all 50 states together, and TeAndra has already arranged plans to travel to Africa in 2024.

“I had so many people who reached out stating that it inspired them to do more with their kids.
“It made me feel so proud that I’m making a difference.”
