Our Family

We are a family with three children. Us parents were born in Europe. Our children were each born in a different country spanning two continents. So it will come as no surprise that we love to travel.

We travel the way that is best suited for our family’s needs of that moment, and tweak things until they work for us. We invite you to experience some of our trips through our writing and hope to inspire more families to fulfil their deepest travel desires.

Happy travels!
