Seattle is an amazing city to visit, with its stunning nature views, great restaurants, and unique tourist attractions. One of my favorite things to do in Seattle is to spend an afternoon at some of the Seattle museums for kids. It’s a great way to get to know the history and culture of Seattle, and incorporate learning into your travels too. I’ve lived in Seattle for over 13 years, and I think it’s an extremely family friendly city. We love checking out the various activities in Seattle for families and taking Seattle day trips throughout the year. With a population of over 700,000 people, th ..read more

15 Valuable Facts About Traveling To Mexico With Kids
The Wandering Daughter
by Astrid Vinje
2M ago
I have a confession to make. I was completely unprepared for traveling to Mexico with kids. Sure, I had all the standard travel preparations done: passports, lodging, tickets. But in terms of mentally preparing for Mexico travel with kids, I was a total newbie. Our family’s first time visiting Mexico was in 2018, and to be honest, I had many assumptions of what Mexico was like. These assumptions were fueled by the media around me: Mexico is poor, Mexico is unsafe, and Mexican culture is strange. But when I did come to Mexico with kids, all these assumptions turned out to be wrong. We loved Mex ..read more

Long layovers are a perfect opportunity to explore a new city. Not all airports are located close enough to a city to allow a visit, but sometimes you can get lucky. Vancouver, BC for example, has a train that goes right to the airport. That means if you've got a Vancouver layover, you'll have time for some city adventuring! As a family, we enjoy using a long layover to squeeze in some city sight-seeing during our trips. We've done stopover experiences in cities like Sacramento, Bangkok, and Tokyo. When we had a layover in Miami, we even had a chance to go to the beach! Take a water taxi in Va ..read more

As a digital nomad family, one of the most useful tools for staying connected is a travel WiFi router.

Summer in the Pacific Northwest is the perfect time for hiking. And in my opinion, it's an especially great time to do some hikes in North Cascades National Park with kids!
