Travel + 5 Kids + Real Life
Reading Time: 11 minutes Seeing pandas in real life is definitely a bucket list experience when traveling in China with kids. I distinctly remember watching a Disney Panda documentary in California as we were full-time traveling but still had not yet ventured to Asia. I told the kids we’d be seeing those magnificent creatures […]
Reading Time: 12 minutes Imagine walking onto any ride at Disney World, riding however many times you want, all while having your own personal Disney Guide. Magical is just the beginning! We’ve now done two Disney VIP Tours, and the resounding review is that they are tons of fun, incredibly cool, and a once-in-a-lifetime […]
Reading Time: 14 minutes For those wanting to visit Greece and enjoy the beautiful, ancient islands of the world, taking a family can present some challenges. Each Greek island, of which there are hundreds, sits a considerable distance from its neighbors. For example, a ferry ride from Athens to Santorini can last 10 hours […]
Reading Time: 11 minutes It’s official… we really love France. Having just completed our fifth trip there, I have to say I experience a weirdly comforting feeling when in France, almost like coming home. Perhaps it’s the climate, which feels similar to my native Colorado (or at least the mountains of Colorado), or just […]
Reading Time: 9 minutes Are you dreaming of a European adventure but want the flexibility of your own wheels for an extended stay? We’ve been there! We thought we needed a long-term car rental. However, it turned out that a short-term car lease in Europe was a better fit. With this solution, we were […]
Reading Time: 10 minutes We visited Singapore with our five kids in 2019 and fell in love with this amazing city! Though not as large as other Asian countries and often used as a layover, Singapore has much to boast. In fact, we often say Singapore would be our home base if we were […]
Reading Time: 6 minutes Paris, often referred to as the City of Love, offers more than just romance; it’s also a perfect destination for a family adventure. We tried a memorable experience that combines fun and learning: learning to make macarons in Paris with our kids! This delightful culinary journey not only satisfied our […]
Reading Time: 11 minutes Given the flood of questions about our relocation to Portugal and being American expats, I’ve taken the plunge and launched a second blog titled ‘American Family in Portugal’. Join us as we share our journey and insights into expat life in this beautiful country! Even though we’ve lived in Portugal […]
Reading Time: 11 minutes As the holiday season approaches and the winter chill settles in, Denver transforms into a magical wonderland perfect for family adventures. I am originally from Colorado, so a Denver Christmas always holds a special place in my heart. While we love to travel to new places, we often prioritize Denver […]
Reading Time: 9 minutes Basking in our Disney glow (and loaded down with plenty of Disney swag), we are returning home from this visit with a greater appreciation of Disneyland Paris. It’s been a full four years since our last visit (and COVID-19 in between), and my overall opinion of our new, “local” Disneyland […]
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!
