2019 is gearing up to be a year of TRAVEL – and not just the overlanding, baby-on-the-bus type of travel we are used to! Read on to learn about our many travel plans this year, and don’t forget to comment and tell us yours! Happy New Year, everyone!
If I’d been nervous about bringing our not-quite five month old baby boy, Phoenix, on this mini holiday, I was now, instead, determined.

I’ve just returned from a mini Euro-trip to Barcelona, Carcassonne, and Bordeaux, and it was so, so fun! It wasn’t just great to be traveling again – after a two month hiatus – or that I got to discover three brand new destinations. It’s that I got to share the trip with two of my very bestest friends in the world!
