Giving you all the information you need to plan a successful trip
Hi! I'm Amanda
I’m a mom of two boys that are quickly growing up. Our family has always traveled, but recently we have made it a priority.
We want to be able to see this big beautiful world while we are still young and show it to our kids.
We find beauty everywhere we go, but we especially love being out in nature.
At Restless Pursuits, you will find travel guides that give you all the information you need to plan your vacation and tips on how to do it with older kids and teens.
