✨ Who Am I? ✨

Checking out Machu Picchu as a family

My name is Cynthia, I traveled full-time for 3 years with my family. When we started, my youngest was 3 years old. Last year we visited 20 countries, though we are big fans of “slow travel” as well.

Before we left, we decluttered, packed up all of our belongings, and sold our house. We world-schooled and homeschooled our kids via tablets. We celebrated birthdays and major holidays on the road.

We are not backpackers, but we are also not luxury travelers. We prioritize unique experiences over hitting every tourist attraction. We budget carefully but also aim to be comfortable- which will look different for every family.

In 2024 we settled in Porto, Portugal. We did a ton of research before settling in Portugal, so we are happy to chat moving abroad from the US.

You can read more about our family’s journey on our About Us page. You can also check out my professional qualifications on our Contact Us page. I have several degrees and consider myself to be both creative and analytical. I’m a planner and a do-er.

➡️ What Will We Talk About?

We specialize in coaching for family travel, family gap year travel, long-term travel, and moving abroad.

We will chat about your travel goals, what’s keeping you up at night, and how you can move forward to fulfill your travel dreams.

We’re also happy to discuss everything from planning a family gap year, to finding community on the road, to worldschooling, to living in Portugal.

Some examples questions we might chat about:

“I’d love to pack up my house and take my kids traveling for six months, but my MIL tells me I’m crazy and it’s not safe. Is she right??”

“I’m so excited to start long-term travel, but I’m feeling overwhelmed. Where do I start?”

“Travel planning is a beast- how do I stay organized? How far ahead should I plan?”


Sound like what you need? Great! I’m excited to chat with you!


✨ What Am I Not? ✨

Most importantly, this is NOT a travel planning service. I am not a licensed therapist or a travel agent. I will not book plane tickets for you, get you discounts at an all-inclusive resort, or resolve your childhood issues. I cannot give legal, tax, or medical advice.

What I can do is encourage you to embrace travel in the way that is right for you and your family, point you to resources, and help you take the next steps toward achieving your travel goals.

I can share the wisdom that we have acquired, so you avoid some of the mistakes we made (though of course, you will make new mistakes as well!) I can help you move forward with planning travel you are excited about with confidence.

“This is the most helpful advice I’ve received. But honestly just to hear you say,
“you can do this” helps so much.”
