Travel + 5 Kids + Real Life
Reading Time: 8 minutesI never thought I would be able to claim that I have slept on a houseboat in India. Does India have houseboats? On our recent trip to India, I quickly found that India has a lot more to offer visitors than I ever dreamed of. From its rich history, incredible […]
Reading Time: 9 minutesHalloween + Disney? Blissful! A match made in heaven. Fun fantasy combined with the mystical holiday leads to some special magic for the whole family. We currently reside in Portugal, and Disneyland Paris is our “home” Disney. While it’s a bit smaller than its US counterparts, I have a special […]
Reading Time: 13 minutesWho else loves Halloween out there? It is nearly tied with Christmas for my favorite holiday, and my community knows I’m a self-proclaimed mother of Halloween in Portugal. I think I love it so much because it’s the start of the best time of the year; it’s free from the […]
Reading Time: 9 minutesYour trip to Thailand is incomplete if you haven’t been to the famed floating markets around Bangkok. As we often are flying into a new country without a ton of research, I found out about these when we were already in Bangkok. It quickly became one of my favorite things […]
Reading Time: 9 minutesRemember that time we got stuck in the airport with cranky kids and a mountain of luggage? Remember that feeling when your airline announced that your flight actually isn’t going to be taking off for 2, 6, or maybe even 24 hours? Remember that awful feeling? Well, buckle up, because […]
Reading Time: 25 minutesHey there from Portugal, fellow family adventurers! Man, I love this country! We’ve been soaking up the Portugal sun as expats for three years now and still loving it. Portugal has many flaws (don’t all countries?), but I’m sitting here enjoying views of the ocean with nice breezes and a […]
Reading Time: 6 minutesAre you heading to Egypt with kids? Congratulations! You’ve made a great decision. We loved our trip to Egypt and would happily go back again. We went to Egypt a bit last minute in April and left only wanting more. We did everything super last minute, but Egypt is designed […]
Reading Time: 12 minutesFrom the sunrise magic of a hot air balloon over Luxor to the inner chambers of the Great Pyramids, Egypt beckons families to come and relish in its rich history and fun activities. This cradle of civilization will awe and amaze you, but it is best to come prepared with […]
Reading Time: 14 minutesTraveling with children is different from traveling as a couple. Frankly, before we had kids, we were young and broke, so we traveled little and not internationally (unless our parents were helping us out!). Our first big international trip was to Grand Cayman with my parents when we had two […]
Reading Time: 13 minutesWe’ve been residing in Lisbon for nearly three years now. Next month is our anniversary of moving to Portugal! I’m still falling in love with this place – the fresh food, beaches, culture, and amazing people. There is so much to adore in Portugal! While many couples and backpackers visit […]
Welcome, Fellow Traveler! I'm Leslie, a mom of five crazy kiddos. Along with my husband, Chris, we've been full-time or part-time traveling the world as a family for over 4 years! We continue to invest in memories as we travel the world and love to empower other families to explore full-time travel or add more travel into their family life. Besides travel, we are foodies and love to explore through our tummies and can't keep away from Disney parks around the world. We currently reside in Portugal and are exploring expat life and learning a new language. Please explore our blog and reach out to us!
