Our Family Travel Journey

Travel has always been a lifelong passion for us, from the very beginning – and something we’ve had the privilege of being able to do as a family since our kids were young.  Everything from road trips close to home to amazing adventures across the globe. Over the years, we’ve explored more than 75 countries together, discovering UNESCO World Heritage Sites, National Parks, Disney parks, unforgettable local moments, and so much more along the way.  In 2023-24, we embarked on our biggest journey to date: A round-the-world adventure through 49 countries, 6 continents, countless miles, and so many life-changing memories.  A Spinning Compass is where we share our stories, routes, lessons learned, special moments, and the journeys still to come
