I’m from a family of cruisers. While my five cruises on three different cruise lines pale in comparison to my mom’s 20ish cruises, it has given me some knowledge about cruising. I’ve tried to make this post as comprehensive as possible for a first-time cruiser. Given the length, I indexed the post so you can jump around. Also, this post…
London is probably my favorite city in the world. I say probably because I haven’t visited all the major cities to be sure.

This is a post I’ve been meaning to do for a while. Our daughter was 7 months old when we bought our first camper and 9 months for her first trip. Three seasons later, we’ve learned a lot and are still learning. I hope to keep this updated as we go along. None of this is sponsored and is all just…

Travel has always been a part of my budget, but how I travel has changed over the years. When I was a broke college student, it was hostels and PB Nutella sandwiches. Nowadays, it’s about smart ways to save money so we can go more places! I always say that when traveling, you have to sacrifice one of three things…
