If you’re new to our page, start here! I’ll continue to link new posts here so they’re always easy to access 🙂

Our family travel adventures have taken us to 49 U.S. states, 7 Canadian provinces, and 15 countries…so far! We had absolutely no idea what an epic adventure we were in store for when we left New York City “for the summer” in 2020 and became a full time travel family.

We lived in Airbnbs full time for a year and a half. Then we renovated a 2007 Keystone Raptor to live in. And now we’re sharing what we’ve learned.

Here are just a few of our family travel adventures from the past few years:

One of the main reasons for launching this blog was to inspire and assist families who want to set off on adventures together, whether those adventures are close to home or thousands of miles away. Family travel adventures don’t have to be blowout summers in Europe. Family adventures can look like visiting a new neighborhood to try a new restaurant. Or hiking a gorgeous trail that’s just 30 minutes away. Or taking a weekend trip to that wacky museum your kid would love.

Whether you’ve landed on our blog because you’re interested in full time family travel or you’re looking for resources that make family adventures seem more accessible, we’ve got you covered. I’ve organized everything I’ve learned and shared into categories here:

As I continue to share more of my thoughts on the blog, I promise to come back here and link everything so it’s easy to find in one place.

Jokes aside, I’m impressed at how shiny and clean you keep your rig, sir. I had never towed anything before we bought our 37 foot long trailer, so you could say there was a learning curve! 📈 Winter camping in Florida can be bananas expensive 💸💸💸 but it doesn’t have to be! Tell me in the comments if this is how YOU make sourdough ⬇️ For those of you planning to RV to #Alaska, I’ve put together an itinerary packed full of our favorite experiences from our 4 months there. You’ll meet sled dogs, hike glaciers, and maybe have the best trip of your life. Everyone’s always talking about the benefits of a bigger home, but have you ever noticed how easy it is to make a tiny home cozy? 🥰
