Gabriel has been promising to eat the Korean delicacy silk pupae snack, also known as beondegi, since we first arrived in South Korea. Today, was that day!
In fact, not only did Gabriel eat bugs in South Korea, but each one of our kids were up for the challenge as well.
We are going to share with you why you would...

Located inside the Panama Canal, Monkey Island is a round little patch of land floating in the middle of Gatun Lake located north of the Miraflores Lockes. It’s a tiny little island covered in wildlife, foliage and best of all - wild monkeys of course!
What makes Monkey Island in Panama such a perfect activity is that you get the...
Korea is one of the most child friendly countries we’ve ever been to. Children are welcomed everywhere and doted on at every opportunity.
