Did you know there’s more to Mexico than beaches, tacos, and piñatas?

The country has a rich and vibrant history spanning long before the arrival of the Spanish.

My new website, Mexico Family Travel, is packed with information and tips to help you get to know Mexico during your next family vacation.

I can’t help but share more Bali pics as we explore Asian cultures for AAPI Heritage Month.

We spent three months in Bali back in 2019. During that time, we lived in Amed, Ubud, Padang Bai, and Denpasar.

Thanks to the learning tours we took with @baliadventours, @global_family_travels, @baliinstitute, and @realindonesiatravel, we really had a chance to experience what living in Bali was like.

This pic was taken at the Saraswati Temple, just off of Jalan Ubud Raya. It’s a beautiful traditional Hindu temple, just behind a Starbucks cafe!

For anyone who’s ever visited Bali, you’ll find it as somewhat of a contradiction:
- It’s both modern and traditional.
- There’s spirituality that’s both imported (yoga retreats, sound baths, ice baths) and intrinsic (Balinese Hinduism) to the culture.
- The economy both thrives and is destroyed by tourism.
- The island is breathtakingly beautiful and despairingly polluted

But for all the love-hate feelings I have towards Bali, I can’t deny all the wonderful memories we made there as a family.

What places have you visited in the world that seem like contradictions? How did you feel when you were there?

Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers out there!

Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers out there!

Whether you’re a single dad, two dad, co-parent dad, granddad, or dad-mom family, you’re doing a great job!

And of course, I have to give a shout out to my husband, partner in crime, and father of my kiddos! @madebyclint thank you for being such a caring, goofy, strong, sensitive dad.

You are our kids’ teacher, friend, sparring buddy, storyteller, cook, creative director, and musician. You show our kids that fathers can be so much more than just the provider of the family.

What do you appreciate the most about the fathers in your life?

Before we left England, we decided to spend a day in Richmond.

Being Ted Lasso fans, we wanted to hit up some of the filming locations and explore the city.

What a gorgeous little place!

Though technically part of Greater London, it definitely feels like its own little city. We loved walking along the Thames River and tucking into the alleys for a quick drink at the pub.

Have you visited any of the outer boroughs of London? Which one is your favorite?

What do you know about Singapore? Is it all just from the movie, Crazy Rich Asians?

Singapore may be a crazy expensive city, but there are plenty of ways to enjoy it in an affordable way.

Here are a couple of tips:
👉🏽Take the MRT from the airport instead of shelling out money for a taxi
👉🏽Buy your meals at the famous hawker centers
👉🏽Visit the Gardens By The Bay (it’s free to enter!)
👉🏽Use the MRT to explore the city

Bonus: if you’re only spending a layover in Singapore, you can still explore the city for free with their Free Singapore Tour.

We love Singapore, and feel like it’s such a unique place in Southeast Asia.

Have you been to Singapore? What did you like best about the city?

I’m finally getting around to sharing pictures of our recent visit to Mexico. Better late than never, right?

A lot of people ask me if it’s safe to travel to Mexico with kids. And I often reply that it’s not any less safe than anywhere else in the world.

We spent five months living in Mexico this pas visit, and not once did we feel unsafe. While I can’t make a blanket statement that Mexico is completely safe, I can say that for our family, we felt as safe as we would in any other place we’ve traveled to.

Many place in Mexico, like Valladolid (pictures here) are great places for families to visit.

If you’ve been to Mexico, what are some of the cities they you enjoyed visiting?

Did you know pyramids aren’t just in Egypt? Pyra

Did you know pyramids aren’t just in Egypt? Pyramids are in Mexico too!

While we were in Mexico, we had a chance to visit some pyramids at archaeological sites around the Yucatán.

While we didn’t get to see the most famous site, Chichén Itzá, we did see some others, including Uxmal (pictured here).

Here are some alternatives to Chichén Itzá that you can check out on your next visit to Mexico:

👉🏽 Teotihuacán
👉🏽 Uxmal
👉🏽 Ek Balam
👉🏽 Dzibilchaltun

There is so much to learn about the history of the pre-Hispanic cultures that continue to exist in Mexico.

Which Mexican pyramid have you visited during your travels?

London, baby! We absolutely fell in love with the city.

The markets, the parks, the canals, the street art, and the cute little lanes all made add to the charm of this city.

If you’re planning a visit to England, definitely plan for a few days in London. Even if you don’t hit up the tourist spots, there are still plenty of things to see and do in this lively city.

Here are some of ideas of things to see in London with kids:

👉🏽 Trafalgar Square
👉🏽 Borough Market
👉🏽 Kensington Gardens
👉🏽 Camden Market
👉🏽 Jubilee Walk
👉🏽 Kynance Mews

What’s your favorite thing about London?
