New Year’s Eve in Varanasi, India

We are an Alabama family with a passion for adventure and culture. We ditched school (twice) in exchange for a global education using the world as our classroom.

Here we share the secrets to extraordinary adventures on an ordinary budget.

Our mission is to help other families travel boldly. Our motto:

No travel agent. No tour group. No trust fund. No problem!

Whether you are planning a two-week vacation, or a family sabbatical, we’re here to help!

Follow along for trip ideas, budget tips, practical advice, and funny (and not-so-funny) stories from traveling the world.

Your kids only have one childhood…make it one to remember!
