ABOUT US

Hi,

I’m Paula, a Finland native who re-located to California over ten years ago after traveling excessively. I’m here to help you and your family to travel the world!

I have studied and worked in the hospitality industry, and always loved traveling. I have always been ready to pack my bags and explore the world. It is definitely the biggest passion in my life!

In 2011 I moved across the world to the United States, and got married. I started blogging in order to keep my family posted about our life under the palm trees.

After a while, my blog started to shift more and more to our travels, so I decided to have a travel blog. In 2015, I switched my blog under my own domain; and in 2016, I started blogging in English also.

Now, after 26 countries and counting, our mission is to show other families that traveling with kids is not only doable, but also fun!

We have shared tips for example to:
✸ United States
✸ Mexico
✸ Finland
✸ Norway
✸ Sweden
✸ Denmark
✸ Estonia
✸ Russia
✸ France
✸ Iceland
✸ Switzerland
✸ United Kingdom
✸ Jordan
✸ United Arab Emirates
✸ Japan

During my time in the U.S. we had two beautiful daughters. They are now 11 and 6, and both are avid travellers. Their first long-haul flights were at 3 months old.

And so the blog started shifting more into family travels, even though I occasionally do travel with my friends too.

Along with exploring new countries, we also love to take road trips in the U.S.. On those trips we usually visit national parks, natural wonders or some historical places.

We love being in nature, hiking and being active. We also want to get to know the local culture and local cuisine where ever we are at.

Some of our favourite experiences have been for example visiting beautiful Antelope Canyon in Arizona and spotting a geisha in Kyoto, Japan. We also stayed a night in a bird nest, in an old prison in Finland and in a 50’s wigwam by the Route 66.

Last year our blog was chosen as Family Travel Blog of the Year by LuxLife and I was shortlisted in Travel Influencer of the Year category in Finnish Travel Gala.

I hope you enjoy the blog and our adventures around the world! And I especially hope that it helps you plan future trips and encourages you to explore the world. Welcome aboard!

Paula xoxo

Have you ever seen a beach with green sand? 8 years ago today we visited one of the world’s three green sand beaches in Hawaii (I can’t believe how time flies). And yes, they are quite rare! It was not easy to get to but it was so worth it! ⛱ ~ Pizza Birria - I would have never guessed that our trip to Albuquerque would turn into such a culinary experience. We made some amazing finds while searching for good restaurants. Our favorites were Mariscos Altamar and La Guelaguetza. 😋~ This week we have been roaming around Arizona. On our drive along Route 66 we passed many places we saw already on our last trip here. One of them was the Meteor Crater that was formed 50 000 years ago. Pretty unique place! ☄️ Ready for the new week! More rain is on the radar but some of the almond trees are blossoming which means that the spring is coming. 🌸 ~ Christmas recap! This year we spent Christmas at home and didn’t travel anywhere. It was much fun and I think we will make this our new Christmas tradition. I hope you had a good one! 🎄~ Merry Christmas from our family to yours! 🎄 Wishing everyone much joy from California. Hyvää joulua!
