Hallstatt, Austria is undeniably one of Europe’s most beautiful alpine villages, where pastel-colored houses cling dramatically to the steep slopes of the Dachstein massif. The village mirrors flawlessly onto the glassy surface of the Hallstätter See, a deep basin carved out by massive glaciers during the last Ice Age and filled with pristine meltwater. Yet, […]

Most people couldn’t locate Latvia on a map, let alone point out the Baltic region, making Riga one of Europe’s ultimate off-the-beaten-path destinations. While it flies under the radar for mainstream tourism, Latvia’s capital holds an incredibly deep story, bearing the scars of World War II and decades of Soviet communist occupation. Today, the city […]

Capturing wonderful family moments has always been very important to me. So, I arranged to have Flytographer photograph our family during our visit. Our photographer used history and humor to engage our kids, while navigating us through the tight picturesque streets and squares of Bogotá. So very grateful to show our kids this great big […]

As the capital city, Bogotá captures elements from all these regional cuisines to create a dining scene full of wonderful dishes and drinks. Here are a few you must try! […]

Some of these spots are famous for a reason, but others are complete hidden gems we stumbled upon purely by accident. Grab a coffee, swipe through our favorite strolls, and get ready to plan your next adventure
Unfortunately, our kids are not as adventurous when it comes to eating…actually they are downright P-I-C-K-Y. Truthfully, our son has been diagnosed with a food sensory disorder (also has nut allergies) and he despises certain textures and odors. Definitely makes traveling stressful at times. Nevertheless, we do our best and tend to grab street food […]

Scandinavia experiences harsh and cold winters—roughly 6 hours of daylight in December! However, shoulder-seasons offer incredible deals on airfare/hotels, fewer crowds and we wouldn’t have to deal with our cranky kids complaining over the sweltering heat. Always looking for a bargain, we jumped on the opportunity to explore Stockholm during spring break and fearlessly braved […]

Each year we like to take our kids to visit a new part of the world to introduce them to a new culture and different way of living. We try our best to immerse ourselves into the local community, shopping at the corner store, dining at neighborhood cafes, overall trying not to feel like a […]

As I mentioned in our Ireland Itinerary for Families post, traveling through Ireland by car gave our family the freedom and flexibility to take in the breathtaking countryside views and explore ancient magical castles. While it can be a daunting, renting and driving a car in foreign country, with a little preparation, knowledge and understanding […]
