Real family travel from a family living it.

We're Adam and Linds. In 2022 we sold our house, packed up our three girls, and haven't stopped traveling since.

Featured destinations

Where we've been. Where we can help.

Japan

47 articles

We've spent over 300 days across Japan since October 2022, mostly in Osaka, Tokyo, and Hakone. Posts cover what actually works with kids: specific itineraries, onsen ryokans that justify their cost, teamLab museums, Universal Studios, and the logistics of staying for months at a time.

Thailand

7 articles

We've spent nearly a year across five trips to Thailand since 2022, most of it in Bangkok and Chiang Mai with our three daughters. The posts here cover what actually works for families: which temples are worth the entry fee, where to eat without a translator, what the MRT system is like when you're herding kids, and how much things actually cost once you get past the initial shock.

Vietnam

5 articles

We've spent more than 300 days in Vietnam across four separate trips, mostly in Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City. The posts here cover what it actually costs to live there as a family, which visas you need, and the logistics of moving between regions without getting overcharged by tour operators.

Hong Kong

4 articles

Hong Kong's transit system will get you anywhere in the city for less than a dollar per trip. We spent nine days there in February 2025 testing what actually works for families on Klook, from the peak tram to the harbor ferries, and found that most of the useful stuff is cheaper than you'd expect and worth booking ahead.

Italy

9 articles

We spent twenty-nine days in Italy across Genoa, Lucca, and Puglia. We stayed nine days in Lucca, where Harper turned three on horseback in the Tuscan hills and we celebrated our tenth anniversary. The south works better than the tourist circuit if you're willing to stay put.

Mexico

3 articles

We spent three months in Mexico across two cities and learned that the eSIM situation there is genuinely better than most places in Central America. You can actually get reliable data without paying resort prices or hunting for a SIM card vendor in a mall.

About us

We're not travel experts. We're just a family who said yes.

We sold almost everything, packed up our three girls, and set out to see the world together. We share honest tips, real costs, and the stuff we wish we knew before we went.

Thanks for being here. We're so glad you found us.
