Welcome!

We are a multicultural family of 4 who loves traveling. Before kids, we took any opportunity we had to travel the world, spending between a month and three months backpacking through countries in South East Asia and Europe. In 2018 our family took off on a year-long trip and visited over 20 countries in 5 continents. It was an amazing experience! We first started this blog to share our travels with our friends and families but, since beginning our journey, we’ve received a lot of questions from friends about traveling with our kids, so we decided it might be useful if we also share our experiences, tips, and tricks!

Nazaré, Portugal. A bucket list destination for us!
.
This is where you can see the biggest waves on the planet! We lucked out and saw giant waves that were topping 12 meters (36 feet), AND we saw surfers riding them! A couple of days later, the Tudor Nazaré Big Wave Challenge took place, and the waves were even bigger then!

The Sé de Évora. Another gorgeous site in this charming town! This is Portugal’s largest medieval cathedral, and the rooftop terrace offers great views of the town, as well as a chance to admire the stone carvings from up close!

Capela dia Ossos. The Bone Chapel. This is such a fun and unique place to visit for in Évora! Ours kids loved it! This chapel is inside the Igreja de São Francisco, and we all agreed that the churches of Saint Francis tend to always be the most interesting everywhere!

Évora is a quick 1.5 hour drive (or train ride) from Lisbon and it’s such a cute town with so much to see, learn, and do! It gets super hot in the summer months, so we were happy to be visiting during winter. Also, the food was delicious!

Fossilized dinosaur footprints and the most stunning and well-preserved cave I’ve ever been to, just an hour and a half from Lisbon.
.
Parque Natural das Serras de Aire e Candeeiros has so much to offer! Look up Pegadas de Dinosaurios for the footprints, and Grutas de Santo Antonio and Grutas de Alvado on the map and you’ll find them. Next time we want to visit Grutas de Mira de Aire, which also look beautiful!

Second favorite place in Sintra: Castelo dos Mouro

Second favorite place in Sintra: Castelo dos Mouros! This was our third time here, and it was as good as always! The walk up from Quinta de Regaleira was no joke—uphill the entire time! But the scenery is really beautiful so totally worth it! We came with friends who were visiting from France and they loved it too!

Sintra and Quinta de Regaleira.
.
If you are going to Sintra with kids and you can only visit one site, it should be Quinta de Regaleira! We’ve been to Sintra many times but this was our first time at the Quinta and the kids LOVED it! I mean, the Initiation Well is super cool, and there’s also stone towers, secret passages, underground tunnels and even a pitch black maze for kids to let their imagination run wild! Plus the grounds are stunning and it’s a lot less crowded than some of the other sites!

Last ones from Porto:

🦆 Chasing leaves and finding views at Jardins do Palácio de Cristal.
⛪️ Checking out more epic views while learning the history of the stunning Sé do Porto.
🥾 Wandering around the narrow and picturesque streets of this UNESCO World Heritage city.
🏛️ Visiting Igreja de São Francisco (no photos allowed inside) and being overwhelmed by the 300 kilos of gold dust used to decorate the church’s interior 🤯.

We absolutely love Porto! Can’t wait to go back again!
