“Humor is a social lubricant that helps us get over some of the bad spots.” — Steve Allen

While we still travel to new places whenever we get the chance, there is just something magical about Napili Bay, on the west coast of Maui, that keeps drawing us back like the tides at sunset. Napili Bay is a little, unspoiled, corner of paradise, free of high-rise mega resorts, crowds, and the chaos from which we came to Hawaii to escape. Read the Article »

That looked way cooler in my head. 😂

Here’s the thing… you’ll never know if one of those “cool shots” is going to work unless you actually try.

So here’s your little reminder to get out there, dream big, try new things, and don’t be afraid to look a little cringy along the way. Some of the best adventures start with taking a chance… even if the footage doesn’t quite go as planned. 😂

At this point, I think I could make an entire series out of my failed attempts.

Peru is a vibe. 🇵🇪

After 14 days exploring Lima, Cusco, the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, and the Amazon, one thing became crystal clear… Peru has a way of making you slow down, unplug, and soak it all in.
Every region felt like a completely different world, which made this one of our favorite family adventures yet.

If Peru is on your bucket list, our full 14-day itinerary is now live on the blog. I packed it with everything we learned along the way. #peru #perutravel #machupicchu #amazonrainforest #travelinspo

June is one of the very best months to visit Cusco, and honestly, all of Peru.

The weeks leading up to Inti Raymi, the ancient Inca Festival of the Sun, are filled with parades, performances, and celebrations throughout the city.

This footage was taken on June 15th, and as you can see, the festivities were already in full swing. We had no idea when we booked this trip that we’d be visiting during such an exciting time.
Talk about perfect timing! Happy Inti Raymi!

We’ve been kind of busy in Peru. 🇵🇪

I usually try to post little updates while we travel, but Peru has had us going from morning until night. There’s just so much to see, do, and experience.

This country is absolutely incredible and so geographically diverse. It’s home to a coastal desert, breathtaking mountains, and the Amazon rainforest. And somehow, we’ve been lucky enough to experience all three.

I have so much to share from this trip, but for now, I’m still trying to soak it all in. #peru #travelperu #familytravel #machupicchu #amazonrainforest

No regrets! 🌿🐒

We’re spending three nights in the Peruvian Amazon at Posada Amazonas with @rainforestexpeditions, and it has been one of the coolest experiences our family has ever had.

Believe it or not, the Amazon has actually been the easiest part of our Peru trip! From the planning to the experience itself, it’s been incredibly family-friendly and far less intimidating than we expected.

I have a blog post and videos coming soon with all the details, tips, and what it’s really like staying in the Amazon with kids. Stay tuned! #posadaamazonas #amazonrainforest #perutravel #familytravel #travelwithkids

I think I might officially be in my Indiana Jones era.

At 51, all I want to do is travel, chase adventures, and see and experience everything. When I was a kid, I remember watching Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and thinking, OMG, I want to be an archaeologist. My friend and I were convinced we’d be the ones to find the Holy Grail someday… and then I grew up and realized archaeology might not be as exciting as an Indiana Jones movie. 😂

Now, standing among ancient ruins in Peru, I feel that same sense of wonder all over again.

Last year, I drove a tuk-tuk across Sri Lanka. This year, I’m exploring Peru and heading into the Amazon with my family. The adventures keep getting bigger, and I’m incredibly grateful for every opportunity i’ve been given to experience them.

So… is 51 too old to reignite an old passion? I don’t think so. If anything, I think the adventure is just beginning. #lifeisanadventure #perutravel #ollantaytambo #familytravel #wanderlust

We made it to Machu Picchu! And yes… it’s every bit as bucket-list worthy as you imagine.

Honestly, it’s one of those pinch-me moments that almost doesn’t feel real. Photos simply can’t capture the beauty, history, and sheer awe of this place.

We’re spending 14 days exploring Peru with the kids, and I’m gathering as many tips, tricks, and itinerary ideas as I can to share with you soon.

For now, I’m putting my phone down when I can, taking it all in, and feeling incredibly grateful to be here. Follow along in my stories as our Peru adventure continues. 🇵🇪 #machupicchu #bucketlistplaces #travelperu #familytravel #travelwithkids

Hello Peru! 🇵🇪
This was seriously the first thing we saw stepping out of our hotel in Ollantaytambo. It was the best way to start our visit to the Sacred Valley. #alpacas #perutravel #ollantaytambo #sacredvalley #familytravel
