Imagine a place where time seems to stand still, where nature reigns supreme, and where the air is filled with whispers of prehistoric wonders. Welcome to the Galápagos Islands, an archipelago located six hundred miles off the coast of Ecuador, directly on the equator, and surrounded by the vastness of the Pacific Ocean. We has the […]

Thank you to Expedia for sponsoring this blog post. Six hundred miles off the coast of Ecuador directly on the equator and alone in the Pacific Ocean lies volcanic hotspots with lava clad shores and rugged landscapes with mysterious prehistoric creatures. The enchanted islands of the Galapagos have been drawing people here since Charles Darwin was […]

Home to headquarters of companies like Walmart, J.B. Hunt and Tyson Foods, there’s a lot of money floating around up there which has led to a ton of growth. While Arkansas is probably considered a “fly over state,” it’s certainly a hidden gem, it’s called the Natural State for a reason (SO much beauty!), and […]

From the slopes of Aspen to Telluride to Breckenridge and Vail – there’s no lack of greens, blues, blacks and bright white snow donning each mountain. These ski resorts are a lot like snowflakes – no two are exactly the same. That’s why it’s so fun to try them all out! A new favorite of […]

Copenhagen, Denmark Why go? Copenhagen is a model of sustainable urban living, and in 2026, it’s going to be all about cycling, organic dining, and eco-friendly hotels.

A client once asked me, on the 14th tee at Cape Kidnappers, why nobody had mentioned his handicap all week. I told him I had stopped listening for it around day three. He looked almost relieved. That doesn’t mean golf is incidental on these trips. It isn’t. Tee times, slope ratings, signature holes all matter […]

We never miss the opportunity to visit Hoi An and Danang as they are two of our favourite destinations in Vietnam, whilst the fact that they are just 30km apart makes it perfect to combine them as part of the same trip. From the picturesque streets and UNESCO heritage of Hoi An Ancient Town to […]

Thank you to Expedia for sponsoring this blog post. I’ve been visiting 30a ever since my college days (which were far too many moons ago at this point, thank you very much). We took a family trip to Watersound this month, and it was Alex’s first time to visit. Being the Aussie he is, Alex […]

A Coastal Maine Road Trip with Kids (What to Know Before You Go) We packed in lobster rolls, coastal strolls, lighthouses and one too many “just one more stop!” moments…all within 6 days (that’s all we had). And while it was so much fun, it was also… a lot. Looking back, I’d absolutely recommend stretching […]

Easy and family travel don’t always go together. Traveling with kids usually means more planning, more logistics, and more things to think about. Strollers. Car seats. Backpacks. Snacks.
