Travel to Belize During COVID: Socially Distancing on an *Almost* Private Island

Travel to Belize During COVID: Socially Distancing on an *Almost* Private Island

Belize, Central America

After assuming for almost an entire year that our November 2020 trip to Belize we would have to be cancelled due to the COVID pandemic, we were pleasantly surprised to learn that Belize is back open for tourism as of…

Reflecting on our last year of adventures while we Reflecting on our last year of adventures while we look forward to 2024… ✨

Anyone know of an off-the-beaten-path community/adventure/experience we should film next year? 🗺️ Please share! 

We have a couple ideas in the works that we can’t wait to share with you as things fall into place (I always have about 87 tabs open on my computer while I plan all our adventures), but we’re always on the look out for something super unique and special that sometimes only locals know about… 🙏

So thankful for this perfectly beautiful Fall day So thankful for this perfectly beautiful Fall day in Norway 🍂🇳🇴 and these two cheeky boogers (who drive us completely bonkers on a daily basis but we can’t imagine it any other way) 🤣

Side note: If you’re in the market for kids’ cold weather gear (everything from fleeces to long underwear and incredible snowsuits!) make sure to check out Reima’s Black Friday sale, and don’t forget to stack our coupon code (FERNWEH20) for an *ADDITIONAL* 20% off (on top of the 20-25% off automatically applied from the website) for a crazy combined discount 🎉 @reimanorthamerica 

If you’ve seen our latest video from the Arctic Circle (up on our YouTube channel now, link in our profile!) you’ll notice the kids wore their Reima gear all day everyday during our trip, and they stayed warm and snuggly the ENTIRE TIME (which meant no complaints about being cold, which made traveling to the Arctic much more enjoyable for everyone involved) 😏

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who is celebrating today 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 It has been such a volatile last 47 days on this planet and we’re making sure to hug our kids a bit tighter these days 🍉❤️

Who’s ready for our next video? 😍 For this Who’s ready for our next video? 😍 

For this epic adventure we traveled north of the Arctic circle to find the LAST indigenous people of Europe 🤯

Even though the Sami people populate the entire region where we were, we had SUCH a hard time finding someone who could host us and teach us about their culture, and we almost gave up on our journey all together 😳

This was because we were there in Fall when the Sami reindeer herders were collecting all their animals from the mountains and bringing them back down to their pastures for the winter 🦌 Which meant *everyone everywhere* was VERY busy the exact week we arrived 😬

Luckily we eventually connected with an amazing Sami guide who invited us to stay with her family. 

It was there we learned about their native traditions, listened to folklore, stayed overnight in a Lavvu (a teepee where we slept on sticks and reindeer skin!), and discovered all sorts of plants we could eat just like the Sami who have lived off the land for thousands of years 🌱

Liv and Bodhi even got to wear their beautiful, traditional Sami clothing one day 😍

We are so thankful for these opportunities and for the people who make it their life’s mission to preserve their culture and share it with the world.

We hope you like the video! The link is in our profile 😉

38 & 40 🎂🥳 Happy birthday to us! My birthda 38 & 40 🎂🥳 Happy birthday to us!

My birthday is on October 22nd and Georg’s is right after on November 2nd, so instead of exchanging gifts we love combining our celebrations into one fun experience whenever we can. 

For my (Tara’s) big 40th birthday this year we decided to go all out. Even though we have a million projects to finish at home we flew to French Polynesia for a long weekend to check off a bucket list activity of ours: swimming with humpback whales! 🐋 

It was one of the most incredible experiences of our lives and I’m so glad we got to share such a beautiful moment with each other, our kids, and our friends who we traveled with (and who took this lovely photo of us!) 🌺

Cheers to many more years of adventures with my best friend and our two little world travelers 🥂❤️

Hello from Norway! 👋🇳🇴 I can’t quite e Hello from Norway! 👋🇳🇴

I can’t quite explain how incredibly beautiful it is here. These pictures were taken just off the side of the road  when it was too windy to go on the hike we actually had wanted to go on. But clearly this was meant to be, because LOOK 😍

We’re only here for a week to film a super quick project, but we will definitely need to come back to explore more 🌄 Add Norway to your list if it wasn’t already there!

This is 7! 🥳 Liv’s birthday is September 1st This is 7! 🥳

Liv’s birthday is September 1st which always falls during the week of Burning Man 🔥

For as long as I can remember she has been asking us if we could be there on her big day, so this year we brought the kids to the world’s biggest playground for Liv’s 7th birthday, and what a celebration it was!

It was dusty then rainy, we roller skated and climbed all the things, went to the Barbie Day Spa for manicures, and even had a trampoline birthday party complete with ice cream sandwiches gifted from a new friend, balloons and pumpkin pie.

It was such a beautiful reminder of all the wonderful humans we share this planet with 🌎

All week Liv proudly introduced herself by her Playa name (“Toothless”) to everyone we met, and as she rode her bike through the city with balloons trailing behind her random people sang Happy Birthday to her 🎶

One of my favorite moments of the whole week (which I sadly don’t even have any photos or videos of!) was when Liv and I were invited to a spontaneous late night party on an art car, and we danced on the roof while we drove around the Playa 💃🏼 She made her way right up to the DJ and when everyone realized she was there they were SO excited to share the space with such a little person. They laughed and danced with her, and it made my mama heart so so happy. 

I can’t believe how big she has gotten over the last year 🥺 Any last remaining bits of her squishy baby face have completely disappeared, and have revealed the beautiful young woman she is turning into. 

She already has big plans for her upcoming birthdays, so we’ll see how many of those dreams can come true as well 😏

She is such a gem in this world, and we are so lucky to have her as our little Muffin ❤️ Happy 7th Birthday, Liv!

A slice of peace in Delhi 🕊️ It’s here tha A slice of peace in Delhi 🕊️

It’s here that during specific parts of the year (that we almost missed by just a few days!) thousands of birds take to the skies every morning at the exact moment the sun rises, creating this beautiful site 🌅

To the left of the little boat dock is a crematorium, and locals believe these birds are the reincarnated souls of their loved ones. The birds are celebrated, welcomed and fed, and in return people like us get to witness this spectacular, chaotic (yet calm) daily ritual. 

🇮🇳 This was Liv and Bodhi’s introduction to India on our very first (and very early) morning after a longgg flight from Japan, and I think it set the bar pretty high for our trip!

India, you are so beautiful 😍 Swipe to see Li India, you are so beautiful 😍 

Swipe to see Liv’s little head pat after Bodhi took nice pictures with her 😏 She is (usually) the best big sister to her little brother (when he isn’t driving her completely crazy, ha!).

Side note: Listen up parents and families! 📣 We LOVE (and highly recommend) finding local photographers when we travel so we have a chance to get all four of us in the frame together. Plus they bring you to all sorts of hidden gems that you wouldn’t have found yourself, like this stunning little nook at Amer Fort!

For our India trip we knew Jaipur had some incredibly photogenic architecture so we looked on Instagram for tags like #jaipurphotographer and found @travelwithcg, then kept our fingers crossed she was available during our trip 🤞The stars aligned and we were able to do a shoot with Charu, who captured some of our favorite travel photos from our whole trip to India. Thank you again, Charu!

“Off the beaten path” means different things t “Off the beaten path” means different things to different people, but staying with the Mentawai tribe on a tiny island off the coast of Sumatra was our greatest adventure yet. 

I have a hard time putting into words how genuine and welcoming the Mentawai community was to our little family. 

After taking three flights, a 5 hour ferry, a 2 hour pickup truck ride, a dug-out canoe for 2 hours, followed by a 2 hour hike through knee-deep mud and across countless rivers, we were welcomed with open arms into the most genuine and heartfelt community we have ever had the privilege to be part of. 

We slept on the floor together as one big family, ate together, gathered and created in the forest, and tried to grasp even the smallest bit of knowledge from these incredibly wise people who have lived off the land for centuries, passing along their traditions through each generation. 

I realized recently that even though our YouTube film from our experience with the Mentawai tribe has been watched by millions of people around the world, we have somehow never once shared a single photo or reel from our trip on IG 😬🫣 So here’s our first post of many!
