Why My Family Travels The Way We Do
Every family travels for different reasons. When my wife, Christina, and I began to explore the world together, we learned quickly that travel is far more than a way to simply entertain ourselves and our children. Travel was a way to challenge ourselves. It was a tool that we could use to expand our comfort zones and open our eyes to a new way of looking at the world.
When my children, Cohen and Dylan, were born, Christina and I chose not just to show them the world, but to let the world inspire, teach, and challenge them as well. Our goal was to let the world change them, so that they could help change the world.
We choose culture, nature, and meaningful experiences over convenience and routine. My family is happiest hiking through wild landscapes, sharing meals that tell a story, and staying in places with character rather than polish. That doesn’t mean hardship for the sake of it, a great meal or a memorable place to sleep is often the perfect way to end a long day of adventure.
Travel, for my family, is anchored in curiosity. We travel to learn how the world works, to understand different local perspectives, and to grow, not just as individuals but together as a family. This family travel website exists to inspire you to explore the world differently and show you what’s possible when families choose to travel with intention.
Family Travel Stories from the Road
These are some of the journeys that shaped my family and the way we travel. These are trips that pushed our limits, challenged our assumptions, and reminded us why we keep saying yes to adventure as a family.
