Destinations & guides
Guides from the ground.
Places I have actually been, written for real families. Where to stay, when to go, and what is genuinely worth your money.

Most booked
Mexico
Our home away from home. Direct flights, great value, and far more to it than the resort strip.
Cancun & Riviera Maya
The all-inclusive heartland. Best for first big trips and family-of-6 suites.
Puerto Vallarta
Old-town charm and real food, without the mega-resort price tag.

I lived here
Panama
I spent a year here at eighteen, so this one is personal. Beaches, a real city, and jungle within reach of all of it.
Panama is my soft spot for families who want a little adventure with their beach time. Fewer crowds, lower prices, and an easy mix of city, coast and rainforest. If you want something past the all-inclusive bubble, start here.
