We’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 Lisbon, there is much to
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 to live in Asia. With

Exploring Barcelona for a couple of days with kids? See all our recommendations for how to get around, where to go and how to make it a great.
As we are flying away from Bangkok to Auckland, we are all sad. We used Bangkok for a long layover between Paris and New Zealand and decided to extend to five days since we loved Bangkok when we went last year. However, we were all surprised at how much we didn’t want to leave this
We are SO sad to leave Singapore, which is what inspired me to write this Singapore travel guide. We originally booked a month there, but our first Airbnb was canceled by the host. Apparently the government is cracking down on Airbnb’s and saying you must stay at least 90 days. The Airbnb we actually stayed
Italy has proven to be such a treasure of a country. So much beauty and variety of pleasures for the eyes. Italy sees TONS of tourists and is well catered to getting tourists around and serving them, making it easy to travel Italy by train. Don’t even get me started on the food! Deliciousness, like
I left a bit of my heart in Bangkok. I fell in love with this city. It seems like I’m somewhat alone in my strong feelings for traveling Bangkok long-term. My family liked it, but they were ready to leave after five weeks. I could have happily stayed another few! Why did I love it
Oh Bangkok. You’ll have a piece of my heart forever. Bangkok is a travelers paradise, with or without kids. We lived there for 5 weeks with five kids so keep reading for our recommendations on the top things to do in Bangkok with kids. Boat Ride Down the Main River (Chao Phraya River) Be sure

Want to know why Bali made it on our list? I saw a friend’s picture on Instagram while she was in Bali, and I’d never seen anything like it. It was all it took to sell me. I didn’t even know where Bali was! We stayed there for six weeks, and here are some of
Have you ever been to Taipei? Have you heard of it? Honestly, I hadn’t really heard of it until we had an overnight layover on our way to Bali. However, we loved our night there so much we actually changed plans to come back to Taipei. The real push over the edge was the Pingxi

One of our first “field trips” in Portland was to follow the advice of our Airbnb owner to visit the Tillamook Creamery. It is about a 1.5 hr drive through beautiful scenery. The facility was very well done (I’ve been told it was just recently remodeled) and has a self-guided tour. It was PACKED with
We arrived in Portland just three days before July 4th, so we didn’t have too much time to plan our celebrations. We ended up taking an Uber to Oaks Amusement Park after reading a few reviews online. Overall, we enjoyed coming here! The park has a good variety of rides. It felt much more like a carnival
We are in Portland! What brought us here? Their food. RedBeard and I visited here in 2017 and frankly just fell in love with the food and the city vibe. We thought this is a potential place to live in. So, we made it our first stop. We traveled on a Sunday afternoon without a
