Who We Are

A Family of Nine Who Refused to Stop Adventuring

Jason and I have always had a passion for exploring new places, trying new things, and living life to the fullest. Since bringing our blended family together in 2022, we've committed to giving our 7 kids the gift of travel and adventure.

As a family of nine, we quickly realized that planning travel for a very large family comes with a unique set of challenges — from finding accommodations that fit everyone to staying on budget without sacrificing adventure. And while we scoured the internet for advice, it was tough to find practical, honest tips for families like ours.

That's why we created this blog: to be the resource we wish we'd had. Here you'll find real-world travel tips, destination guides, gear recommendations, and inspiration — all tailored for big, busy, blended families who crave adventure without losing their sanity.

We only recommend travel essentials that we have personally purchased and LOVED.
