Somewhere in the middle of a giant travel store in Cologne, Germany, I (Cami) had a simple idea: what if I started sharing our travel stories, practical tips, and favourite discoveries with other people who love exploring the world as much as we do?

That little spark eventually grew into this family travel blog.

Travel has always been a huge part of my life. Some of it comes with my professional role in a large international organisation, but most of it is driven by pure curiosity and a desire to experience new places, cultures, and ways of life. We are currently based in Belgium, although both Mr. Travel Tales and I originally come from different European countries, which means there is always another destination calling our name.

Over the years, we have travelled extensively across Europe and Asia, with many adventures in North America, Africa, and the Pacific as well. What began as travels for two slowly transformed into something even more special. Five years ago, our travelling tribe grew from two explorers to three, and then to four.

Today, our little adventurers are very much part of the journey. Together, we have visited more than 40 countries as a family, including destinations across Africa and Asia, proving that travelling with kids doesn’t mean putting your wanderlust on hold. If anything, it makes the experience richer, more spontaneous, and often more memorable.

As for me, I have been fortunate enough to visit more than 80 countries across every continent except Antarctica—which still proudly holds a place on my travel bucket list.

What kind of travellers are we?

We are not budget travellers in the traditional sense—especially since travelling with children tends to come with a few extra requirements—but we are always looking for great value and meaningful experiences.

You’ll rarely find us choosing a generic hotel when there is a charming guesthouse, cosy B&B, family-run property, or local homestay available instead. We love discovering hidden gems, supporting local businesses, and finding accommodations that add character to a trip.

Food is another big part of our travels. Some of our favourite family travel memories have been created around market stalls, street food carts, neighbourhood cafés, and family-owned restaurants. We believe one of the best ways to understand a destination is through its food and the people behind it.

While all-inclusive holidays and cruises are not usually our first choice, we are always open to new travel experiences. Every trip is different, and we enjoy adapting our travel style depending on the destination, the season, and whether we are travelling as a family, a couple, or solo.

Why this blog?

This blog is where we share family travel tips, destination guides, travel itineraries, accommodation reviews, and practical advice for travelling with children. We hope to show that family adventures don’t have to stop when kids arrive—in fact, they often become even more rewarding.

When I’m not travelling, you’ll usually find me learning something new, whether that’s a foreign language, yoga, photography, videography, or editing our latest travel videos. And naturally, I spend a fair amount of time planning future trips. My husband calls it “controlling”; I prefer to call it being a well-prepared traveller.

Together with our YouTube channel, this space allows us to document our journeys, stay connected with friends and family, and inspire others to explore the world—whether you’re planning a solo escape, a romantic getaway, or your next family adventure.

Thank you for stopping by. We hope you’ll find inspiration, useful travel advice, and a few ideas for your next journey.

Feel free to say hello, leave a comment, or connect with us on YouTube—we’d love to hear from you.

Happy travels,

Cami and the Tribe
