Family Travel Blogs

World Travel Ambitions represents a blended Kiwi ex-pat family of five with a dream to travel the world. The dream was born back in 2010 when Melissa was a solo mama with two small kids writing her first book. In 2011 they moved from New Zealand to live with Rimaha in Australia where they lived for the next nine years. They started their blog and online businesses and Melissa created a plan to travel to Asia, then Turkey before walking the Camino. In February 2020 they left Australia and made it to Vietnam in March where they travel while waiting for the world to reopen.

Love Life Abroad is about a family attempting to create a sustainable traveling lifestyle. Nathan, the Californian boy, and Emilie, the “québécoise pure laine“, met in 2012 on the small Italian island of Ischia. Their oldest son, Noah, was born in Paris (France, not Texas!), and Samuel, the little one, under a Canadian snowstorm. The family sold their house and packed their bags to explore the world. With their blog, they are providing concrete tips for people who love to travel and who want to do more of it with their children, while documenting their slow traveling journey.
