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!
Living in Edmonton, we are blessed to only be 3.5 hours away from Jasper National Park, and I’ve been going there regularly since I was a kid. Jasper’s towering peaks and gorgeous, easy-to-reach lakes are truly the stuff of dreams, making it one of the most compelling places to visit in Alberta with kids. Now …
I’ve been doing road trips from Edmonton to Abbotsford, BC since I was five years old, when my grandparents bought a piece of land there and I watched them build their retirement house on it (my Grandpa also built a family cabin on Galiano Island!) Now, I still visit regularly, but with little ones of …
Most years, to celebrate my birthday, I like to plan a small trip with family and friends to celebrate my birthday. In 2020, of course, my options were limited. I decided on doing a hotel staycation as close to home as possible. Ideally it would be somewhere memorable, fun for the kids, and have a …
We visited Prague with our two young kids (age 4 & 5) in late November, toward the end of our two-month trip in Central Europe. Our Prague stop was sandwiched between a great week in Bavaria and a visit to stunning Cesky Krumlov in southern Czech Republic before we moved on to Vienna and Budapest. …
Visiting Oman with kids marked a special and transitional moment in our family’s life. Our kids were born and raised in Taiwan, but at the age of 4 and 5, in autumn of 2019, we moved permanently to Canada, where I grew up. After selling our house and getting rid of all our things in …
For as long as I can remember, I wanted to go to Japan to see the sakura (cherry blossoms). This fleeting phenomenon comes only once a year, transforming temples, parks, and even ordinary streets across Japan into masterpieces of art. This dreamy display welcomes the spring season and reminds of the transient nature of beauty …
Italy is one of Europe’s most compelling destinations. With its picture-perfect beaches, some of the best (and very kid-friendly!) food in the world, and more UNESCO World Heritage Sites than any other country, Italy has a pretty convincing resume. A visit to Italy with kids is more likely to include traditional villages and historical sights …
All across Taiwan, Dahu (大湖) is practically synonymous with strawberries. Every winter, plump, juicy, bright red strawberries from Dahu township in Miaoli County make their appearance in fruit markets around the country, with the best ones fetching high prices. But for the best Taiwanese strawberry experience, nothing beats going right to the heartland of strawberry …
Dinosaur Provincial Park is one of the most compelling and family-friendly attractions in southern Alberta. Besides the incredible badlands landscapes, a great campground, and the chance to find dinosaur fossils, there are also some great hikes and tours available in the park. In this article, I’m going to introduce the five main Dinosaur Provincial Park …
Dinosaur Provincial Park in southern Alberta is one of the world’s great dino destinations. It features an otherworldly badlands landscape (the largest of its kind in Canada), and one of the highest concentrations of dinosaur fossils in the world. Be careful not to confuse Dinosaur Provincial Park with Drumheller, its touristy cousin. Dinosaur Provincial Park …
