Discovering the World Through Slow Travel
The Roman Forum is one of the most amazing archaeological sites in the world. It also happens to be very photogenic because Rome has done such an amazing job maintaining it (well, once it was already in ruins). We were…

Five Nights in Bangkok Thailand Our family had four days to spend in Bangkok, Thailand, and we decided to divide our trip between two hotels. As always, we did a little research, but like always, we also got a little…
Burano is probably the most photographed Island in the Venetian Lagoon, apart from the island of Venice, Italy itself. Burano has a few rooms for rent, but the island is so small and remote that most visitors decide to go…
In our adventures all over Europe and Asia, we’ve been to a number of places that made us nervous about traveling with a child. No amount of reading ever makes a parent’s concerns go away, but an honest look at…
Kunming, China is a big city, and one day isn’t really enough to explore it. But we do what we can with the time we have. Between flights, we had a little over a day to explore, and we did…
