Fondue in an Igloo!

How would you like to have a fondue lunch in an igloo?  I don’t think there is really a better place to eat a piping hot, cheesy fondue!  And I have to say that after living in Switzerland for the last 3 1/2 years, this might just be one of the coolest (pun intended) things […]

14 years ago we started moving around for Lukasz’s job. North Carolina was our first stop and it was there that we were given the best advice we’ve received. Lukasz’s boss told us to make the most of the time we had since we didn’t know how long we’d be there and we truly took the advice to heart.⁣ ⁣ Back then we didn’t have much money for travel, but we’d try to take one bigger trip every year and on the weekends we’d pack picnics and go for hikes or head to the mountains or the beach.⁣ ⁣ When we moved to Europe 9 years ago we thought it would be for just a few years so every year we saw as much as we possibly could, and now that we are finally leaving we have absolutely zero regrets. My point is that we should all take this advice...to adventure more, whether it’s halfway around the world or in our backyards because none of us know how long we’ve got here. Let’s pack it all in and leave with zero regrets. - - - #dailymomtravel #familytraveltribe #familytravels #familytravel #expatlife #loveyourtimetogether #dametraveller #sheisnotlost #parentswhowander #expatlifestyle #travelmom #travelmum #ourtribetravels #travelwithkids #travelfam #wearetravelmums #explorewithkids #shetravels #travelingladies #womenwhotravel #shewhowanders

{ad} We got an early snow in the mountains and the boys had to go test out their new sled...it’s so fun and so fast! I was completely frozen but they didn’t have a care in the world dressed nice and warm in their Reima gear. Seriously, it’s such a game changer for winter activities when the kids are dressed appropriately. We have definitely lived and learned when it comes to that! Warm and happy kids means everyone can have a good time. Am I right?! - - - #reima #swissmom #sledgang #swissalps🇨🇭 #swissmountains #childrenofmountains #getoutsidemore #kidswhoexplore #curiouslittleexplorers #winterwonderland #mountainkids
We’re dreaming of a White Christmas and I think that Canada will deliver for this little snow bunny on her first Christmas ever. 😉🤔❄️😍 Is it beginning to look a lot like Christmas where you are? #familytravels #travelingwithkids #welltraveledkids #jetsettingkids #travelingwithbaby #familytraveltribe #ourtribetravels #explorewithkids #cutebabiesofinstagram #babycantravel #snowbunny #letitsnow❄️
How is it already December?! We visited the Christmas market in Paris the weekend before last and I thought surely there must be some mistake to already be getting ready for Christmas! 🤣 But I’m glad we at least made it to a Christmas market before we move. Moving in December is not for the faint hearted! Instead of wrapping presents, we’ll be packing boxes...so enjoy some holiday cheer for us please! 😉🎄 #passthegluhwein - - - #welltraveledkids #magiedenoel #paris #familytravel #travelfamily #loveyourtimetogether #christmasineurope #christmasmarkets #expatlifestyle #jetsettingkids #travelwithkids #wheretonext #kidswhotravel
Italy has been our most visited country while living in Europe and even so there is still more we want to explore. We’re putting together a blog post with our favorite Italian itineraries but in the meantime, here are some ideas in the northern half of Italy for your next trip: ⁣ ⁣ 1️⃣ Milan/ daytrip to Bergamo/ Cinque Terre⁣ ⁣ 2️⃣ Milan/ Italian Lakes- we would combine one of the bigger ones like Como or Garda with a lesser known gem like Orta or Iseo⁣ ⁣ 3️⃣ Venice and the Dolomites (which are still high on our list!) ⁣ ⁣ 4️⃣ Turin/ Piedmont/ Italian Alps- we love the Piedmont region...it’s similar to Tuscany but less touristy. Lots of vineyards and charming hilltop towns. Stay at a villa in the countryside and visit the towns of Neive, Alba, and Barolo. Then visit the Alpine villages of Couermayeur or La Thuile.⁣ ⁣ 5️⃣ Milan/ Lake Garda/ Sirmione (a charming town on Lake Garda)/ Verona⁣ ⁣ Don’t forget to bookmark this post if any of those itineraries sound good to you!⁣ ⁣ What’s been your favorite place in Italy to visit or what’s highest on your Italian bucket list? #italy_bestplaces #italyvacations #beautifulitaly #beautifuldestinationsaroundworld #beautifuldestinations #suitcasetravels #lonelyplanettraveller #cinqueterreitaly #italianvacation #italiantrip #italytravels #italytravel #europetravel #europeanvacation
