Exploring Africa & Asia

After traveling throughout Europe for several years, we decided to step outside our comfort zone and venture farther from home to discover some of the world’s most fascinating destinations. From the turquoise waters of the Maldives to the ancient wonders of Egypt and the vibrant culture of Morocco, our travels across Africa and Asia have introduced us to incredible landscapes, rich traditions, unforgettable experiences, and new ways of seeing the world. Here, we share our experiences, travel tips, and recommendations to inspire you to explore beyond the familiar and discover these extraordinary destinations for yourself.

About Me

Life has taken me on quite the journey—from growing up in the same house, attending the same school, and living in the same city of Bogotá, Colombia for 18 years, to leaping into the unknown by moving abroad for college. That bold decision pushed me far beyond my comfort zone: I had to learn a new language, adapt to a different culture, and build a new life from scratch.

It was during college that I met my husband. After six years of dating, we got married—and the very next day, he joined the U.S. Air Force. That marked another major shift in my life. With his military career, we began moving every few years to new places—often not by choice, but always with an open heart.

We lived in four different U.S. states before receiving an overseas assignment in 2015 to Spain. What was meant to be a two-year stay quickly turned into a life-changing adventure: seven years in Spain, followed by six more in Italy. Along the way, I picked up a third language, fell deeper in love with European culture, and embraced every opportunity to explore new corners of the world.

To date, I’ve lived in four countries—Colombia, the United States, Spain, and Italy—and visited over 40. Through it all, I’ve discovered a deep love for travel, for learning from other cultures, and for seeing the world through my children’s eyes. We have two little adventurers who are just as curious and eager to explore as we are.

This blog is a space to share our journey—especially what it’s like to live and travel in Europe as a military family. Whether you're planning your next big trip, relocating overseas, or simply dreaming of faraway places, I hope you’ll find inspiration, insight, and encouragement here.

Feel free to reach out with questions or just to say hello—I’d love to connect with you!
