ABOUT US & OUR FAMILY TRAVEL
How We Got Here
Hi! We’re the Lathrop family, and a few years ago, we went A.W.O.L. and started traveling the world! 😜 To capture all our fun new memories of traveling with kids, we started a little family travel blog- leading us to create this website!
This all started after a life-changing event in 2016… After almost dying while pregnant with our youngest, we decided it was time to sell our home and move out of the US- from Florida (USA) to Valencia, Spain!
We have 4 girls and a boy and started traveling internationally when our youngest was just over a year old, but now our oldest is almost 24 and our youngest is 9! So, you could say we’ve learned a LOT about family travel on a budget. (And I’m so happy to be able to share what we’ve learned with our readers over these past few years!)

Traveling with kids from babies up through the angsty teen years has brought us plenty of different challenges. We hope to share what we’ve learned with our readers!
My husband and I also run our own online business. Working remotely allows for a lot of flexibility, which is great! Unfortunately, it also adds a bit to the chaos and messiness of our daily lives, but hey- that’s life, right?
We’ve learned how to REALLY get organized- from budgeting and trip planning to packing and prep! Being organized is a key part of making family travel as smooth as possible, but we weren’t always so organized and put together! We had to learn on the fly- sometimes quite literally! 😅
I hope that you find lots of value from sharing our adventures along with us- and get lots of fun family travel ideas and inspiration here!
We’ve filled this blog full of tips we’ve learned during our family travels, and hope they help make things easier for YOUR family, too! Thank you so much for reading!
