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!
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 …
Dinosaur Provincial Park is one of the gems of Southern Alberta. It is Canada’s largest badlands area and features some the most surreal and impressive landscapes beyond the Rockies. Dinosaur Provincial Park is often overshadowed by its touristier cousin, Drumheller. While Drumheller has the better museum, Dinosaur Park offers a far better opportunity to see …
Quirky Japanese theme park? Cultural-historical oddity? Full-on tourist trap? Awesomely freaky place to spend the night? It’s hard to sum up the Xitou Monster Village (aka Nantou Monster Village) in just a few words, so you’ll have to read on below to find out exactly what on Earth it is.

Vienna was our final stop in a 10-week round-the-world trip with our kids. We were moving from Taiwan to Canada, and traveled to 11 countries in between, mainly in the Middle East, Balkans, and Central Europe. Since we did a loop around Central Europe, we had actually passed through western Austria about a month earlier, …

In our two month trip to Central Europe with our 4 and 5 year-old, Austria was quite possibly our favorite country. You can see here for all of our recommended places to visit in Austria with kids! After a rather fantastic three days in Salzburg, followed by a single night in dreamy Hallstatt, we moved …
We visited Salzburg, Austria with a four- and five-year-old in the second half of our two-month Central European trip. After Salzburg, we also spend one surreal night at Hallstatt, one of the most beautiful lakeside villages in Europe, before devoting another three days (four nights) to the Austrian city of Innsbruck with our kids and …
Dubrovnik is by far the most popular and touristy city on the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia. It was certainly the most expensive city on our trip across Croatia with kids. Dubrovnik is so popular that the city has considered setting limits on how many tourists can enter it per day. UNESCO has threatened to take …
In 2013, my wife and I had an unforgettable honeymoon in Italy. Our favorite place by a long shot was Cinque Terre (here are 20 reasons we loved it). Six years later, we returned to Italy with our kids this time and choose to visit the equally impressive Amalfi Coast with our kids! Our Amalfi …
