Wander With Fun #7

Making the Most of your Memories - Partnership with Confetti

June 14, 2019 by Ben Lutz in Collaboration, Blog

As a travel family, and as a family who just really loves taking photos in general, we always agree that we have so many incredible photos sitting on our laptop (or external hard drives) that we never look at again! We always have high hopes of organizing them, printing them, framing them, etc… but it’s hard to get around to doing it.

A Letter To My Daughter

April 12, 2019 by Ben Lutz in Blog, Kids, USA, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, Europe, French Polynesia, California, Bali, Lake Tahoe, Travel Tips

THE STORY OF HOW YOU INSPIRED ME TO FOLLOW MY DREAMS

Note: Ben wrote a heartfelt letter to Liesel on our flight from Tahiti back to the US. After more than 7 months abroad and 10 months of full-time travel, he was a mixed bag of emotions about where we’d come from, what we’d done, and where we were going next. He wrote this for Liesel so that someday she would be able to read it and understand why we uprooted her stable, predictable life in California.

Have a Blast in Bali in the Low Season

February 13, 2019 by Ben Lutz in Bali, Destination Guide, Blog, Travel Tips, Collaboration, Indonesia, Nusa Dua

Bali in low season? Rather than connecting through Bali for a long travel day, we opted for a 4 day layover (the perks of slow-travel!). We were super excited to come “full circle” and end our adventure in SE Asia in the same place we began.
