I’m a travel blogger, so obviously I am obsessed with travel. But what you may not know is I’m also obsessed with making lists. I feel like most travelers are list makers in some respect. One of the best parts of a trip for me is the planning phase. This is when I go list crazy. Lists of where I want to go, what I want to see, cool places to eat, websites to check out, and on and on.

This is where Listography comes in. Listography is a website, app and an amazing Listography series of books. Before Listography I would write lists on random pieces of paper and then promptly lose them. Now, thanks to Listography, I have an awesome app and website to store all of my lists in one place. And for the days when I’m nostalgic about my travels, need a prompt or just want to get back to actual old school writing, I have the book “>Travel Listography (“>Parenthood, “>Your Life in Lists and lots more!).

What are kid friendly destinations?

by

One of my fellow family travel bloggers posted a question on their Facebook page a while back asking where people thought of when they thought of kid friendly destinations. My initial response was Costa Rica, mostly because we were in the midst of planning a trip there. But then I realized that every place is kid friendly … Read more
