A Family Travel Blog
Family Adventure Vacations We’re always heading off on adventures around the world. Just the way we travel is an adventure – around-the-world trips with the kids, taking float planes to remote islands, walking across Tuscany – but we’re also active, hiking, kayaking, climbing and cycling wherever we can.

Rating Every Country We’ve Been To During the COVID-19 shutdown last year we were at home and looking for ways to stay entertained, so I asked my wife and kids to rate every country they’ve been to from 1 to 10. I added in my votes and ranked every country… 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

Spring Break in Chile Part Two – the Atacama Desert with Kids We traveled to Chile for spring break largely because of Patagonia – one of the most beautiful destinations anywhere. But we quickly determined that Patagonia, and Torres del Paine National Park specifically, wouldn’t hold more than a few days’ worth of… Read More
Spring Break: Patagonia with Kids I get more emails asking for spring break suggestions than for anything else.
