About Us:
Hi, we’re Natalie and Sam! Travel has been at the forefront of our lives since we met on a puddle jumper plane in Belize in 2013. Whether we are camping in the Sahara in Morocco, hiking through the rainforest in Hawaii or eating fresh seafood in Portugal, we love the endless adventures travel affords. Exploring new places, meeting new people, trying new foods and getting outside brings us so much joy.
We are keen active and budget travelers. Over the past 8 years, while both working W2 jobs and maintaining a budget, we have traveled to 23 countries, 100 plus cities and 21 National Parks. We started our ‘Always Have A Trip Planned’ blog to share travel tips and tricks we have learned along the way.
In 2021, we added the newest (and cutest) member to our team, our daughter. We have continued to adventure and explore the world with her by our sides. Contrary to popular belief, after you have a baby, adventure does not have to end. It may look a bit different but, in our opinion, it is even more rewarding to explore new places with your little one. No, everything does not go ‘perfect’ traveling with a baby but that just adds to the adventure.
The world is a book and we hope to read as many pages as possible. Sometimes the anticipation for travel is almost as exciting as the actual trip. By always having a trip planned (or, in other words, always having a trip to look forward to), we continue to read the pages of the world and experience the joy that traveling brings.
