Before kids, travel was effortless, last-minute road trips, chasing waves, finding hidden bars. Then life shifted. Work, routines, responsibilities. Sound familiar?
We thought we had to settle. But then we realised, adventure doesn’t end when you have kids, it just evolves. So we took the leap. Now, we’re redefining family travel, slower, deeper, more intentional. Less Disney, more offbeat surf towns, street food, and wild experiences. And you can too.
Ready to stop Googling and actually start planning your family trip?
It won’t always be easy, but it will be worth it.
We’re a regular family of four preparing to travel slow through South America for a year, budgeting big, packing light, and learning Spanish together along the way.”
Learning Spanish as a family isn’t just about words, it’s connections.
We’re proving that you don’t need expensive classes or complicated lessons. Just a willingness to try. Follow along as we make Spanish a natural part of our everyday adventure.
We’re Sean (The dad of this blog), Tania, Atticus, and Aurelia – a family of four.
After years of dreaming about long-term family travel, we finally made it happen. Now, we’re sharing the highs, the challenges, and everything in between to prove that travel with kids is amazing.
Not just studying it, we’re speaking it. At the dinner table, while packing, on the go.
