Bringing Beauty and Color to Kids in Need – Athens, Greece
While volunteering in a refugee camp in Athens, Greece for 2 months, I met many adorable children with bright smiles and kind laughs.

An Awesome and Affordable South African Safari – Addo Elephant Park
The highlight of my family’s one month trip to South Africa this spring was our self-drive safari in Addo Elephant Park.

Since we were traveling along the southern coast of South Africa in an area called The Garden Route, we decided to try…

The Extended Stopover – How To See More of the World Without Spending More!
For many years now, my family has been enjoying the benefits of the EXTENDED STOPOVER and assumed everyone knew about it. But as I have been chatting more and more about our travels recently, I realize that very few people know about this awesome travel benefit. So here it is – one of my best travel tips! What is an extended stopover? I am sure most everyone has had to do a stopover (also known as a flight connection) on their way to their final destination.
