About Us

We live in Phoenix, AZ with our 3 children, currently all ages 10 and younger. I (Raya) have lived in three corners of the country so far (NY, FL, and now AZ) and my love of travel started young. After having kids, I was determined not to let them keep us from traveling the world. Over the last few years I’ve noticed there are some challenges and nuances when it comes to booking trips with 5 people, especially outside of the US, and this blog is dedicated to our travels and the tips and tricks I’ve found along the way to make traveling with a larger family still affordable – often using credit card points and miles.

My husband Duane and his family are from Guam, and he actually grew up in Japan and that’s where he graduated high school. His dad was in the Army, so he did a ton of traveling at a young age and loves it just as much as I do. He is the executor of all my best plans.

We hope you enjoy this blog and thanks for stopping by!
