We started our Random Acts of Kindness with the hope of making a difference in every country we stepped into – to travel with a purpose, and to teach my young son to care for others who may never be able to give back. I have to admit that while we have walked the streets […]
While we have traveled to over 70 countries, we still find that there are some hidden gems that other traveling families ask us about. What did we do? Where did we stay? What fun places did we explore? And much more. For this reason, when we find a place that we really enjoyed, then I […]
It has been well documented in recent years that children are spending less and less time outdoors. With the rise of tablets and computer games, it is easier than ever to occupy children from the confines of a lounge. One study across America showed that, despite being enchanted by the outdoors, 80% of children reported […]
We travel the world – permanently – that means we stay in a LOT of hotels and resorts, and we get to see all the good and bad points of properties. We know what we don’t like, and we know what we do like, but we also know what makes us fall in love with […]
We LOVE Kenya! And we have been here long enough to know what makes a good place to stay and what doesn’t. The experiences we have had as we journey around the world have helped us understand the challenges most travelers are forced to deal with. Choosing a good resort in any country tops the […]
Kenya has managed to win a HUGE soft spot in my heart! I cannot believe that it took me years of traveling before I landed in this beautiful country. I remember a Facebook friend saying “you have left the best until last” and maybe she was right? Now that I am here, I have realized that there […]
Children ran on the streets rolling tires with sticks, as our tuk-tuk bumped through the dusty dry laneways. Today is our last day in Diani Beach Kenya, and I promised many of you, that we would distribute food to needy families here, and some of you kindly gave towards this. A lot of you have […]

If you are hoping to visit the country for a Safari, then here are the top 10 options for you: Maasai Mara National Reserve If you have heard of […]
Most tourists often travel for an African safari without having a clue about the different options that exist while making such arrangements. They are later met with shock as they cry foul play since they discover that they were not given the experience they paid for. What they fail to understand is this: Just like […]
Single parents have always longed for products and services that are tailor-made for their specific needs. It is regrettable that their trips around the world have not been as fulfilling as they would have wanted to, just because their desires are often overlooked. For instance, services in the hotel industry are often designed specifically for […]
We are getting pretty good at international long-haul flights! But we have learned some things the hard way, whilst others we researched before we started to travel, so some of what I now know as a parent, I wish I had known right from the start. It doesn’t matter if you are a single parent, […]
“Mum, Can I do a ‘Go Fund Me’ for Elijah*?” Explorason came in and asked last night. He had been out opening ‘Madafu‘, the young coconuts together with our Askari named Elijah*. Explorason and Elijah* get along well and we often take Elijah* a spare plate of dinner, a nice drink, or a yummy dessert […]
