After traveling extensively for years, our family has seen and done some amazing things. We have some unforgettable core memories that will last a lifetime. I hope the same goes for you. We haven’t traveled to all the travel destinations, but we are slowly exploring the world one country at a time.
If you are looking for advice on specific travel destinations to visit with your kids and enjoy an adventure, getting out in nature and seeing popular attractions without the crowds, you have come to the right place.
We have been traveling for as long as I can remember, but we started making it a priority to travel more with our kids starting in 2022. Our kids were 7 and 9 at the time, so many of our travel guides, itineraries and activity ideas are for families with older kids or teens.
Another passion I have is learning about hidden gems in travel destinations and finding out all the best spots from the locals. I have interviewed numerous folks and got insider tips to locations such as Cartagena, Colombia; Quito, Ecuador; Yellowstone National Park; Barcelona, Spain and others, and I will continue to add more travel guides every month. You can find them at the top of each travel destination page.
If you this sounds like a good fit, I invite you to explore around the blog. If you have any questions, I am happy to answer them too. I am a real person and thrive on helping families see more of the world. You can leave a comment or email me at [email protected].
