Welcome!

Thank you so much for visiting our travel blog 🙂  We have lived across the globe – North America, Bangladesh England and New Zealand – and travelled far and wide in 33 countries and five continents.

We love the outdoors, we are very passionate about wildlife conservation, we love travelling (mostly by road and boat), and we enjoy it best with our children!  We want to explore the world with them, have them experience the wonders of nature, and learn alongside with them.

Join us as I share our journeys, perhaps offer some insight and information on less trodden destinations, tips on budget travel, travel planning and travel with kids, and hopefully inspire you to live your travel dreams too! You can see our Reviews on recommended accommodations and Tours in places we have travelled.

Please feel free to send me any questions on destinations, recommendations on places and where to stay, how to do family travel without stressing and on a budget. Have a browse of our journeys in Morocco, China, Bangladesh, and road trips with kids in Europe and USA 🙂

    You have a great blog and I love to see that we seem to have many things in common when it comes to travel philosophy: we also travel with children and try to make these experiences sustainable, it’s one of the principles I really want our kids to understand and make their own. Great quote at the end of your post: I didn’t know it but will definitely remember it!

    It’s very interesting what you are doing and giving your children the experience of a life time. I read as well that you love wildlife conservation. I guess Africa would be a lovely continent to explore, they are very strong in nature and wildlife conservation. You’ll love it there 🙂
