Join us in our global wanderings - we've saved an extra seat just for you!

    - Brittany, Bruno, and Phoenix

If there is one country that has long been on my bucket list, it’s Greece. So when my best friend decided to get married there, we jumped at the opportunity to come. Our three-week adventure started here, in Athens!

  • Micheline Grosjean - J’aurais adoré pouvoir effectuer cette visite avec toi et je sais pour y être allée moi-même ce qu’on ressent en montant ces marchés qui mènent au temple de Parthenon.
    Je suis heureuse que tu n’aies pas été déçue et qui sait nous y retournerons peut-être un jour ensemble ?ReplyCancel

This summer – like most – we visited my family home in New Brunswick, Canada. But this year, for the first time – we brought our baby boy, Phoenix, along for the trip. It was a new kind of summer in New Brunswick, and one like no other!

  • Dodie - First ever comment, Britt…..it was your visit to Greece which made me do it. Words cannot tell you how much I enjoy your blog, wishing only I could be along with you. You certainly inherited a talent from your Great Nan. Keep on travelling. Sending my love.ReplyCancel

  • Elizabeth S - This reads like a love letter to New Brunswick, to family bonds, to roots, to memories and the creation of new ones, to simple joys, and connecting with nature. Thank you,ReplyCancel

  • Les Brown - I can member your parents dreaming out loud about the day when they would build their beautiful home by the sea and wait for children and grandchildren to come. It’s a dream coming true. Beautiful pictures..ReplyCancel

    • Brittany - A dream come true for me, too. What a beautiful thing! 🙂ReplyCancel

Fifty kilometers east of Mexico City, the little village of Nanacamilpa welcomes visitors every summer evening to their now-infamous firefly sanctuary. Tonight I am one of those visitors, riding past the potato and corn fields into the pine forest, a sprinkle of raindrops blurring my eyesight. I am not arriving to the firefly sanctuary in our Big Blue Bus, but on the back of a quad, with three police escorts.

  • Elizabeth S - I loved this insightful post and it does provide food for thought. Thank you!ReplyCancel

  • Lisa Sharples - Thanks for the wonderful lesson about fireflies. I had no idea that there were places like this sanctuary. I’m sure it looked amazing in real life.ReplyCancel

    • Brittany - Yes, it was indeed a magical experience. Wish I’d been able to capture it on camera! 🙂ReplyCancel

Our family spent five whole weeks in Cholula, a lovely town just southeast of Mexico City, and just outside the equally lovely historic city of Puebla. Our latest vlog takes you along on our favorite outing in Cholula – a trip to the public square, or zocalo, where you can people watch, snack, shop, play in playgrounds, and admire the architecture and surrounding churches. We do it all, so click on this link to watch!
