A little about us...
Hi! We’re Steph and Jen, twins with a passion for travelling. We first caught the travel bug when we were twenty-one and set off for three weeks of backpacking across Western Europe before starting a semester abroad in Italy (hello classes titled Italian Wine and Culture!). That taste of the excitement and adventure found with unfamiliar surroundings had us hooked, and since that time, we’ve trekked through a combined 30 countries and 45 U.S. states.
We were both lucky enough to marry guys with our same sense of wanderlust, so there was no doubt when we each started having kids that our voyaging would continue. From weekend getaways in big cities to months in foreign countries to camping in national parks, we’ll take whatever time away we can get. And as our time off from work and budget are unfortunately both limited, we search through everything from guidebooks to travel shows and blogs for as much helpful information as possible prior to take off.
With that, here we are, passing along what our experiences have taught us- what to do, where to stay, what to pack, and most importantly, why it’s really not as intimidating as it seems. Whether you prefer a bit more luxury with your travel, or are willing to go the minimalist route, we have tips for both. Traveling with kids has brought a whole new meaning to the word adventure for us, and heck yes it can be scary and daunting, but sharing our passion with our three little ones has without a doubt been worth it.
