TRAVEL | I like to write about my experiences of traveling and how those encounters with strangers, different cities, and new ideas have shaped me into the person I am today. I also share practical tips on how to travel with kids, and WHY it’s important to show them the world.

FAMILY |  I want my kids to experience this big world in all its fullness and to meet kids all over the world. I believe in travel because that’s how I shaped my view of life and the world I live in, and I want my kids to have the same chance to find out who they want to be.

I hope this blog inspires you to explore the world and encounter the unknown with an open heart. This is the only life we get – let’s get out there and really SEE this beautiful world we live in.
