What happens when you have a website about spiritual travel, and then you have kids? Well, you make a website about spiritual travel AND traveling with kids. Most of my trips these days are with Sage (4) and Lavender (3), so come along as we explore our homeland, Taiwan, and beyond!
Psychedelically colorful Rainbow Village Taichung (彩虹眷村) used to be one of the most popular attractions in Taichung. While the painted walls of this former KMT soldier’s house were once a paradise for selfie seekers, this is no longer the case. Less than 50% of the original murals remain or have been covered up with new …
Drumheller is without a doubt one of the top attractions in all of Alberta, Canada for families with toddlers or young kids. Whether or not your kids are dino freaks, they are bound to find something to love about Drumheller. A little touristy, yes, but Drumheller’s museum is world class, and its badlands scenery is …
No matter the season (except, you know, when it’s -30 degrees out…), my kids can’t get enough of Edmonton’s playgrounds. One of our favorite things to do in Edmonton with our kids is to drive around and “discover” new playgrounds in different Edmonton communities, and in suburbs as day trips from Edmonton. To compile this list of …
Istanbul is without a doubt one of the great cities of the world. It is ancient Byzantium & Constantinople, the largest city in Europe, home of the Aya Sofya (Hagia Sophia), and the only metropolis in the world to straddle two continents. But what does this all mean to a 4 and 5 year old? …

Jiaoxi Hot Spring (礁溪溫泉, also spelled Jiaosi Hot Spring) is my favorite Taiwan’s many amazing hot springs. Jiaoxi is a rural township at the north end of Yilan County in Northeastern Taiwan, making it one of the best day trips from Taipei. My friends/family and I have been to Jiaoxi as day and overnight trips …
The tiny village of Skradin in Croatia is the kind of place most travelers pass through to get somewhere else (in this case Krka National Park), but once they see it, they vow to someday return and stay. That’s the impression we picked up of Skradin while planning our family trip to Croatia, so we …
The medieval walled city of Kotor in Montenegro is one of the great gems of the Adriatic coast in southeastern Europe. To put it bluntly, we loved visiting Kotor with our kids. Montenegro was the 4th out of 11 countries we’re visiting on our current trip, and it was our kids’ favorite thus far. According …
Edmonton, the capital city of Alberta and fifth largest in Canada, is an extremely kid-friendly city. Some of the best things to do with babies, toddlers, or children in Edmonton include a huge indoor waterpark and amusement park, super interactive museums, excellent playcentres and swimming pools, dinosaur parks, and a national park right on our …
