Best European Cities for Kids We’ve traveled throughout a lot of Europe with our kids the past 13 years – 70+ cities in 20+ countries – and I made a short list of our favorite kid-friendly European cities. Then I deleted the largest two, London and Paris, since they’re the… Read More
Family Travel Inspiration I created my family travel blog to inspire people to take their kids everywhere. It’s why I post to social media as well. It’s an amazing world. The more places you take your kids, and the more cultures they see in person, the more it will change… Read More
