About Us
Hey, we’re a family of four who swapped the rushed vacations for something slower, deeper, and way more connected.
We travel with our two young kids, living abroad one place at a time, and sharing honest stories, city budgets, and tips for families who want more than just a whirlwind trip. If you're dreaming about traveling longer but aren’t sure where to start — you're not alone (and you're in the right place).
