Father and daughter, traveling to all 196 countries together.
Since Vanessa was born 13 years ago, our lives have been a whirlwind of travel and adventure, whenever we found the opportunity as a family.
From canyoning and rafting in Costa Rica, to diving in the Maldives, to Skiing in Austria and the French Alpes, to hiking in Spain, we always searched for the thrill and beauty that life has to offer.
Each destination brought us closer, forging a bond that transcended miles and cultures. Vanessa’s curiosity and fearlessness have inspired me to see the world anew through her eyes, cherishing every moment of our shared adventures. As we continue our journey together, I look forward to the countless more memories we’ll create and the lessons we’ll learn along the way.
Vanessa’s enrollment in online school this year has opened up a world of advantages and opportunities for her. One of the most significant benefits is the flexibility it offers. She has the freedom to set her own schedule, allowing her to pursue her interests and passions while balancing her academic responsibilities. This independence has empowered her to take charge of her education, making decisions about how and when she learns best.
Online schooling has also nurtured Vanessa’s sense of independence and self-reliance. She has developed crucial skills such as time management, organization, and self-discipline, which are essential for success in both academics and life. With the ability to study from anywhere, she has embraced a global perspective, enriching her understanding of different cultures and perspectives.
Moreover, online education has encouraged Vanessa’s creativity and critical thinking. She has the freedom to explore subjects in depth, pursue extracurricular activities, and engage in collaborative projects with peers around the world. This dynamic learning environment has fostered a love for lifelong learning and prepared her to navigate an increasingly interconnected and digital world with confidence.
Costa Rica
Our first trip together was a magical blend of father-daughter bonding and thrilling adventures. We spent most of our time near the majestic Arenal Volcano, a hub for outdoor activities. From canyoning (twice!) to wild river rafting, zip lining, and hiking, we immersed ourselves in the natural beauty and excitement of Costa Rica. It was here that we fell in love with the country and discovered our shared passion for traveling and adventure.
Thai Boxing and Diving
In late 2023, our month-long adventure in Thailand brought us closer than ever. Starting in Chiang Mai, we immersed ourselves in vibrant culture and cuisine. A highlight was our 2 week-long Thai boxing training camp, which challenged us and deepened our bond through shared perseverance. On Koh Tao, we dived into crystal-clear waters, admiring the colourful coral reefs. We also hiked scenic trails and enjoyed serene sunsets. This transformative trip ignited a shared passion for exploring the world. Our experiences in Thailand marked the beginning of our journey to discover the world, one adventure at a time.
Family & Duo trip Vietnam
In December 2023, fresh from our adventure in Thailand, we continued our journey to Vietnam. Our first stop was Hanoi in the north, where we reunited with my wife and son. After a lively shopping spree, we traveled to Ninh Binh, where we immersed ourselves in breathtaking natural beauty through hikes and canoeing trips.
Next, we ventured to Halong Bay, experiencing an unforgettable boat trip among the many islands. We delighted in speedboating, a serene canoeing journey through rocks and lakes, an enchanting cave tour, and a day filled with magic. Vanessa and I then enjoyed a truly magical week in Phu Quoc, creating cherished memories.
Month in the Philippines
In the Philippines, our wanderlust surged. Vanessa's enrollment in online school during the final quarter of the year allowed us the flexibility to travel during the academic season. We eagerly seized the opportunity and journeyed to the Philippines, a destination that had long held the top spot on our bucket list.
The Philippines greeted us with its stunning azure waters, pristine diving sites, and majestic natural beauty, delivering an unforgettable experience. The pinnacle of our adventure was the exhilarating wreck diving at depths of 25-30 meters. Exploring the sunken wrecks firsthand was both daunting and breathtaking, offering a truly unforgettable adventure that sealed our love for adventure and exploring the world together.
