A Family Travel Blog
A Covid 19 USA Road Trip Like most of the world, we locked down for almost three months due to COVID-19. And we cancelled a lot of travel plans in the process, including trips to Italy, Turkey, Germany and Greece. With summer here, though, it was time to get out… Read More
Frequent Questions I get a lot of emails and DMs every day, and most of them fall into two categories: travel and blogging/travel writing. The travel-related questions are easy. I’m always happy to give my opinion on places we’ve been or point people to posts I’ve written. The blogging questions… Read More
Update I’ve received a lot of questions about the company that planned our Morocco trip, Plan-It Morocco. Their website now looks like it’s members-only. I’ve reached out to them for an update. At any rate, Morocco was amazing, and I highly recommend booking a trip – whether or not you’re… Read More
Doha, Qatar with Kids Last year I flew to Doha with Qatar Airways and did absolutely as much as possible in Doha and out in the desert over three days. It was a great trip and I was impressed with Qatar and its people, but I wished that I had… Read More

A Smart Garage The first time I heard about Wi-Fi, I remember thinking: “I guess it would be nice to be able to send my document wirelessly to a printer in another room.” That was my entire vision of how I thought Wi-Fi would be utilized in the future. And… Read More
Icebug If you haven’t heard of Icebug before, you’re not alone. It’s a very cool Swedish shoe brand that’s big in Scandinavia, but is only now expanding to the rest of the world. Their shoes and boots are known for their excellent traction – both in the summer and winter.… Read More
Family Travel In case you’re new to my blog, I travel a lot! In just the past four months I’ve traveled with my wife and kids all around Turkey and Greece, I’ve visited South Korea, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Iceland and the Faroe Islands with my 11-year-old son,… Read More
Sweden I’ve never spent much time in Sweden. Blame my Norwegian roots. The Swedes and Norwegians traditionally haven’t gotten along, and as I’m 33% Norwegian and only 4% Swedish, the Norwegian side won out. I’ve backpacked around Norway. I studied two summers at the University of Oslo. I’ve spent holidays… Read More
