We're a Navy family who lives in each place long enough to really know it, then packs up for the next adventure. Here's everything we've learned, for families like yours.
The Navy moves us every few years. Each move is a new chapter, and a whole new place to explore with the kids.
Iceland
A March 2018 babymoon in Iceland, six months pregnant with Everett. Reykjavik, the south coast to Vík, the northern lights, and why we'd skip Fjaðrárgljúfur in the mud.
Cancun, Mexico
Where Periodic Travelers began. Our 2016 honeymoon at Beach Palace, swimming with dolphins, jumping into a cenote, and what we'd do differently in Tulum.
Ghana
Our 2017 teaching internship outside Kumasi, Ghana, plus Kakum, Lake Bosomtwe and two weeks in Freetown. Monkeys on our shoulders and a baboon who stole breakfast.
London, England
How we spent a week in London in 2017 after two months in West Africa. Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and more.
Michael (Navy) and Chantelle (nurse), our boys Everett and Finn, baby Vienna, and one very fluffy puppy named Puddles. We've called Utah, Hawaii, South Carolina, and Virginia home, and we've traveled everywhere from Cancun to Iceland to Ghana.
We don't just visit places. We live in them long enough to find the best beaches, the easy hikes, and the restaurants that don't mind a toddler. Then we write it all down for the next family headed that way.
