We recently spent time in Cavtat and Dubrovnik, Croatia and came away with 3 things that will help future travelers! How to deal with the crowds, a cliff jumping bar and where we found the best views of the city! All of that is in this short video! : )
We recently spent time in the Canggu area of Bali, Indonesia and we thought we would share 3 things we learned while there that might be helpful to you!
This video goes through all the pros, cons and budget tips of our time near Dubrovnik, Croatia.
In our opinion, you should AVOID staying in Dubrovnik. While pretty, Dubrovnik can be extremely overcrowded, expensive and not always easy for young kids (tons of stairs, etc) We recommend checking out the towns within an hour of Dubrovnik for a more enjoyable, authentic experience. We believe CAVTAT is where it's at!
In this episode, we rent a boat and cruise the coast, watched some AMAZING sunsets, frolicked in the water right in old town Cavtat and took a ton of drone footage of this beautiful section of Croatia.
Welcome to Western Europe's oldest city! That's right! Cádiz, Spain has a rich history and food culture and is right on the beach, which makes it an awesome destination for any type of traveler!
In this episode, we rent bikes and cruise around town to the beach, we check out a local flamenco show and of course we continue to eat all the delicious tapas! And, as always, we share our pros, cons, and budget tips!
We may have just found our new favorite European city! Seville (or Sevilla to the locals) is extremely family friendly, has some of the most amazing tapas and food culture we've seen and is sprinkled with amazing architecture.
In this episode, we eat our way through Sevilla (WITH OUR TODDLER!). Yes, the late night food culture is kid friendly as long as your kids can stay awake! We also visit one of the most beautiful plazas in Europe (Plaza de Espana) and tour through the world's largest gothic cathedral.
In this video we give our insider tips on what it's like traveling to beautiful, but super expensive, Switzerland! And, we're doing it with a toddler in tow!

In this video we give our insider tips on what it's like traveling to the wine and charm center of France, the Alsace region! And, we're doing it all with a toddler!
We stay in Colmar and visit Riquewihr, the inspiration for the setting of The Beauty and the Beast! Also, we visit some cheeky monkeys in this episode and fly the drone!
In this video we give our insider tips on what it's like traveling to Heidelberg and Stuttgart, Germany with with a toddler. We talk through what daily life is like here in the southeastern German state of Baden Württemberg. The good and the bad, but mainly we try to keep it real... and funny, if we can. We share Pros (the good stuff), Cons (the not so good stuff) and a Budget Tip in every episode!
Paris was Liesel’s 1st European destination and we give our insider tips on what it's like traveling to Paris with a toddler. We conquer the metro system with no elevators, visit the Eiffel Tower at night and we all eventually conquer our extreme jet lag!

We are Ben, Kelly and Liesel. We sold everything to travel the world and bond as a family. This episode is from our last week in the USA where we visited family in Chicago and Michigan! This is our final episode before we begin our round the world journey!
For the last 6 weeks we've been spending our time touring our home state of Michigan (aka the Mitten State, high five!).

In this episode we talk about our adventures in the northern Michigan town of Harbor Springs and enjoy some rooftop pool partying (child friendly of course) in Chicago!
For the last 3 weeks we've been spending our time touring our home state of Michigan (aka the Mitten State, high five!).

Hello! We're The FUNemployed Family and we sold it all to travel the world with our daughter. This video is from our 1st stop on our 'round the world trip, Lake Tahoe!!
In our FINAL WEEK in Lake Tahoe we went camping, had a mixed review hike in Emerald Bay and had some friends visit for a beach day. As always, we caught some great overhead shots with our drone! We also discuss our upcoming plans as we travel the world with our toddler.
If you enjoy this video, be sure to check out our other posts on Tahoe, including videos and a blog post with lots to do in this magical area!
BOATS & DRONES! For the last 3 weeks we've been spending our time finding family friendly hikes and beaches all around Lake Tahoe. This week we rented a boat and had some EPIC time exploring by water (& air!).
We brought our drone and what we saw from above was ridiculously good looking!!
For the last 2 weeks we've been spending our time finding family friendly hikes and beaches all around Lake Tahoe. This week we conquered the Cascade Falls Trail and hiked into a nude beach (oops!) in Nevada. Both destinations had some fun moments and AMAZING views.
We've quit our jobs and sold our house and things in search for a happier, simpler life where we can bond with our daughter, experience life, and give back to communities. Lake Tahoe is our first stop in our trip around the world and this week Liesel went on her first SUP and paddle boarded with us!. We would love if you would join us on our epic family adventure.
The last thing to do before we start our 'round the world adventure with our daughter was to drive the possessions (and cat) across the country to be stored with family. But, that's easier said than done. There were a couple mishaps along the way that could have been disastrous.
Let's recap: We've quit our career jobs. We've sold our 1st home. Now we're getting started on a journey around the world to spend more time with our daughter, develop new careers, and redefine our lives.
Today the house sale is official!!! : )
We are 2 weeks away from leaving the house, but only 3 days until Ben drives the moving truck filled with keepsakes across the country to be stored with family in Michigan!
In this episode we pack, and sort, and pack, and sort, and try to keep a normal balanced life for Liesel in the midst of this chaos. We are so excited to get started on our around the world adventure!!
So, are you wondering who our little munchkin is? Watch a day in the life of Liesel!
This week we are super busy packing boxes and selling a lot of items we don't need anymore, but we couldn't let a week go by without a vlog update!!
This week we're doing a throwback to a video from our babymoon trip to French Polynesia and the island of Moorea. We went for a swim with some friendly sharks and stingrays and Kelly was scared the sharks could sense she was pregnant and would target her! Ha! ALSO, Liesel has her first experience with a "shark" as well! Thanks for watching and feel free to subscribe if you like what you see!
