About

 

Hello, we’re the Hilton family.

I started this blog to document my family’s year of travel through Europe and Asia. And the promptly never wrote much of anything. Our days were filled with adventure, new foods, and family time. But, good news! I kept detailed notes, a Google Maps full of our favorite place to eat and explore, and we took so many pictures a long the way. So I’m sharing all about our adventures now!

Our travels took us through Europe and Asia, with a quick trip to Morocco. We traveled from big cities (London, Tokyo, Singapore) to small towns (Lake District, Paros, Sintra). We slowed way down and enjoyed catching a glimpse of local life in many different countries. And through our travel we learning many travel lessons, sometimes the hard way. So we’re sharing them all here with you.

We also love to read and cook as a family. So you may occasionally find recipes and book reviews scattered amount detail-driven travel itineraries and destination guides. And, of course, as most of our travels occur with our kids in tow, you will find many tips on how to travel as a family. And sometimes even hear from our kids in their own words (our Kid Approved posts)!

I hope this blog becomes as much of a source of inspiration and fun for you as it does for me!
