Hello World Travelers!

My name is Brad and I am the Touring Traveler. I love to travel with my family, so I decided to start a blog and share our experiences with you. We are a very cost conscious family, so we try to budget travel when we can.

My wife, Jessica, and I have been married for 14 years and we have three beautiful children, Gavin, Kinsley and Greyson. Our time is mostly consumed with work, school, and other activities such as soccer, wrestling, tennis, and synchronized swimming. However, whenever we find some downtime, we find an opportunity to travel! We didn’t start seriously traveling until about five years ago. A friend of mine shared some travel tips and tricks with me, and we quickly became hooked. Now, we try and visit as many places as possible either as a family or as a couple (special shout out to the grandparents who make this possible!).

Unfortunately, during the COVID19 pandemic, we had to take a brief hiatus on international travel, but we did get to experience some great trips a little closer to home. Due to the lost international travel time, we are now trying to check off as many places as possible before our kids go off to college.

This will be my first foray into blogging, and I am hoping to share our experiences with you which will include tips and tricks, hotel/resort reviews, travel programs and our favorite travel accessories. If you have any ideas on topics that you would like to learn more about, please send me a note using the contact info below.

In closing, I am keeping an open mind on how this blog will evolve over time, but I hope you find the information useful for your own personal travels.

Until next time… Pura Vida!
