We are a family of three and two of us LOVE to travel! Our daughter, who just turned 13, would rather hang out with her friends than see the world...this to shall pass...we hope! Anyway - we were bit by the travel bug about 10 years ago when my husband enrolled in a study abroad program with the University he was attending. We spent over two months of that summer living in Oxford England in a row home that we rented. Since that time we have traveled around the USA as well as to Asia and Europe. We try to keep our daily lives as simple as possible so we can afford to travel the world as a family. We love to stay off the beaten path when we travel and prefer to take in the local lifestyle as opposed to tourist saturated areas.
