Hostel Review Arequipay Backpackers
I chose the Arequipay Backpackers Hostel because of their advertised fun facilities: a movie room, games tables (pool and table tennis) and, as a special reward for my boys after the Inca Trail hike, a PS3.
At The End Of The Inca Trail
Yay! This photo was taken at Intipunku, the Sun Gate which leads from the Inka Trail to Machu Picchu at the end of our four-day hike. And this is inside the Machu Picchu site, just below the Sun Gate, with the peak of Huayna Picchu just visible behind us. Head on over to DeliciousBaby for Read the Rest…
Roadschooling In South America
CAM was so engrossed in his schoolwork, he didn’t even notice me taking this photo. He was working on the assignments from a programming course he took through CTY. (He finished a 10-week course in 2 weeks, even though we kept up a pretty aggressive sightseeing and travel schedule during that time). This roadschooling is Read the Rest…
Murphys At Cotopaxi National Park
It was mostly overcast during our day at Cotopaxi National Park, but we catch sight of the famous peak briefly before we started our hike down the mountain. Head on over to DeliciousBaby for more travel-themed Friday photo fun. Like what you’ve read and interested in reading more? Subscribe to the WanderMom feed using rss Read the Rest…
Two Weeks Into Our Family World Trip
We’re glad we packed:1. Headlamps. We’re using Petzl headlamps and highly recommend them. They rock for: kids reading in bed at night, compensating for the lack of outdoor lighting at a rental house and taking a nighttime run on the beach – for a few unusual uses. 2. A small flexible extension cord. Ours Read the Rest…
Photo Friday: Mitad Del Mundo
We started our family world trip in Quito, Ecuador. Although we plan to chill out at the beach in Southern Ecuador for a little rest and relaxation before we start the trip proper, I thought it would be fun to indulge in a little geekiness and take photos standing on the Equator as a way Read the Rest…
I’m Leaving My Job To Travel
Since our recent dinner-time conversation where CAM berated us for being irresponsible parents for abandoning our jobs in order to go travel for a year, I’ve been thinking about the reasons behind my confidence in making this choice now. CAM is right, it is a little crazy to leave a well-paying job in the middle Read the Rest…
Preparing To Go: The Questions Kids Ask
One of the best things about being a parent blogger is that you get to write about the funny things your kids say and do.
Preparing Children For Family World Travel
I’m a blather-er. You’ve never heard that word? Apparently it’s a Norse word, but people use it a lot in Ireland. As in “She’s an awful blather-er” to describe someone who goes on-and-on-and-on and never really gets to the point. That’d be me, most of the time. Which is why when I’m writing a blog Read the Rest…
Family World Trip Math Program
Schooling is the first thing most people ask about when they learn about our upcoming family world trip – and rightly so. We would be negligent parents if we hadn’t considered the educational needs of our boys (now almost 10 and 14) when we decided to do this trip. As I mentioned in an earlier Read the Rest…
