The Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand is doing an amazing job rescuing, treating and rehabilitating captured wild animals. They also help domestic animals in need. Rescue, rehabilitate and release is their motto. Many of the rescued animals are treated for severe PTSS due to both physical and mental abuse. Unfortunately, release isn’t always an option, which is why the sanctuary is so important. It gives the animals the opportunity to live out their lives in an environment as close to nature as possible while receiving the high-quality care they need. The tour gives anyone that’s interested ..read more

Our first trip in over 3 years was to Dahab, Egypt. No surprise there right? Of course, our holiday house needed quite a bit of maintenance and in our last week, we were hit with the pharao’s curse (aka diarrhea). So we didn’t have much time to explore and dive but we did manage to squeeze in two PADI Bubblemaker dives for our little world traveler. After finding out the minimum age for this kids scuba program is 8+ of course, he wanted to go scuba diving. Just like mom and dad. Find out what it was like!  Our little world traveler loves snorkeling and has been doing it since he was 4. W ..read more

Last year we started publishing books for kids, among which are a series of kids’ travel journals.

Journaling is a great way for kids to process emotions and remember events. And what better souvenir than a journal with your own travel adventures? These travel books are great travel ..read more

In light of the current situation and the travel restrictions, we’ve been focusing on local and domestic travel. Since we generally prefer to travel to overseas destinations where it’s warm and sunny, researching places to stay so close to home is a massive change for us. Maybe it’s the same for you? If so, keep on reading! We’re planning to take more trips in our own country and I want to share with you the things we consider when we decide where to go. Overseas travel isn’t in the stars While our home country (The Netherlands) isn’t a large country by any standard, we’re always amazed by th ..read more

In case it has slipped your mind, Father’s Day is the third Sunday in June. As parents, it would of course be nice to be celebrated (or at least appreciated) every day but since that’s not likely to happen we’ll have to settle for once a year during Father’s Day and Mother’s Day. I don’t know about you, but I find it quite a struggle to come up with a meaningful and original gift year after year, both for my own dad and my partner. Men are notoriously hard to buy for! Despite dads always saying they ‘already have everything’ not giving a gift isn’t an option. Dads like to be appreciated too! S ..read more
