Who we are
We’re Jenn and Brian Warren, millennial parents on a quest to enjoy life with our children to the fullest. We’ve been traveling with our six children since their infancy, and we’ve visited places all around North America from Alaska to Mexico and from West Coast to East Coast.
We’re passionate about authentic living, practical solutions, genuine relationships, and an abundance mindset. Our family has grown through over 20 years of serious life change. All of our family members have ADHD, autism, anxiety, or some combination of diagnoses, and we’re learning to lean into our strengths and accommodate our challenges.
Dinkum Tribe is a community (tribe) focused on neurodivergent families who love life and travel with their kids. Dinkum (pronounced DING-kum) is an Australian adjective that means “genuine” or “real”. It’s our mission to help families like ours build a beautiful life together!

Testimonials
This is great! We’ve found ourselves more than once apologizing and owning up to parenting mistakes. LOVE the idea of intentionally making sure the kids know the lines of communication are always open and they are free to tell us if they think of something that hurt them, in the past or currently. Know better, do better!

As a dad always looking for new ways to bond with my family, I loved the creative camping ideas in this article! Setting up an outdoor movie theater sounds like such a fun way to spend the evening. Letting the kids pick fun themes and activities gets them engaged. The tips on choosing a family-friendly campground are really helpful for finding the right fit. This article got me excited to plan our next memorable family camping trip filled with these great ideas!

Great Resources! Loved the videos and your explanation was spot on. The “hidden disabilities” are many times harder to deal with than the physical ones. We have both in our family and the mental or “hidden” ones are more difficult for others to understand. Thanks for sharing!
