Hello, fellow adventurers and welcome to our new travel blog! We are Robert and Erika Novak, and together with our two little explorers, Bobby and Oliver, we are passionate about discovering the world one family adventure at a time. From idyllic beaches, to bustling cityscapes, we can’t wait to share our cruise ship travel stories, first-hand reviews, and, of course, the best deals in travel for you and your family.

Why we started this blog

Travel has always been a significant part of our lives, even more so after starting a family. We’ve made it a priority to instill the same love for exploration and adventure in our kids. We believe that traveling with family is not only a fantastic way to bond and create lasting memories (not to say couple and friend trips are out of the question), but it’s also an excellent opportunity for children to learn about different cultures, histories, and perspectives.

After years of cruising the high seas and countless inquiries from friends and family about our experiences and recommendations, we decided to start a small travel advisor business and now this blog as a platform to share our passion for travel and inspire other families to embark on their own adventures.
