The trials in our lives lead to the family decision to start living our best life possible. We made a goal and worked backwards to create the life we so desired. I'm a single mom embarking on an adventure around the world with my two youngest sons, Caleb and Carter. Our best life comes in the form of travel, service, and connecting with people and cultures everywhere.
Our life journey has taught us to embrace fear and failure. It has taught us that good things comes from hard work and seizing opportunities. We are here to show you that family travel is attainable and it should be purposeful. You only have one life to live, how are YOU going to live it?
Thank you for joining us on our journey. We hope it will inspire you to take a family adventure of your own.
Love, Alisa, Caleb, and Carter

Twilight is now on Netflix
Twilight is now on Netflix everyone! Whether you're a fan or not, I know you will love your short little reenactment of Twilight when we were in the PNW last month. Forks, WA is a small town by Olympic National Park where you get complete vampire and vibes. It is so beautiful! If you haven't been, you should add it to the list!
We also added our "Making of" for the blooper lover in all of you. I would like to think we are pretty funny, but you can be the judge of that. Hope you enjoy the beauty of Forks, WA and the Hoh Rainforest Trail in Olympic National Park.
Love, Alisa, Caleb, and Carter

Counting Iguanas at Chichen Itza and Tulum ruins in Mexico
Переглядів 1683 роки тому
We had so much fun counting iguanas at Chichen Itza and Tulum ruins in Mexico. They are everywhere! As much as the ruins are cool and exciting to learn about, and experience, sometimes for kids, you need to dive a little deeper to make things a true learning and fun experience. The boys had the opportunity to try their hand at haggling for souvenirs. As an entrepreneurial family, this is a skil...
Coba Mayan ruins in Mexico
Переглядів 9443 роки тому
Coba Mayan ruins in Mexico, are just about 45 minutes outside of Tulum. This was one of the coolest ruins we visited, mostly for the fact that it is less touristy, and it feels like you are transported to another time. The area is kept very natural but beautifully landscaped. Some areas are roped off, but you do get to climb and explore some of the many sites that have been recovered from the j...

Family swim in Mayan sink holes in Tulum. Otherwise known as cenotes! If you happen to be in the are of Tulum, Cancun, Playa del Carmen, or Chichen Itza, swimming in a cenote is a must. They are everywhere in that area, and no two are the same. We did some research before hand and chose ones that offered life jackets and that were kid friendly to get down into. We swam in Suytun, which is outsi...

Deep sea fishing with kids in Mexico! On our trip to Tulum, Mexico, we decided to charter a boat that would take us out into the beautiful Caribbean sea and take us fishing. We are not big fishing people, but we do love a great adventure and really love trying new things. So obviously we had to take to the sea! We chartered Knotty Hooker (yes, that's their real name).

Thank you for sharing.
Thanks! We're planning a trip soon
We hope you have so much fun! Still one of our favorite places.
What a fab Voiceover. Love it!
I'm so glad you love it! It was very thought out. lol
Great video, traveling with kids and making memories together is the best!
It really is! It makes traveling and experiencing new things so much more fun.
His dancing literally made my entire day😂 too cute ❤️
I’m so glad!! He’s been practicing his skills and it is paying off.
I've got COVID and been so sluggish for a week now, but "Mr. Vegetarian" made me laugh so hard, and oh young man, it feels great! Dear Carter and Caleb, your light really travels, and it reaches our hearts so warmly. So thank you! <3
This makes me so happy. I'm so sorry you are sick, but I'm so glad that we can bring you joy from across the world. Thank you for being a part of our journey.
@@OurLightTravels Thank you Alisa. I am almost well now, I am actually preparing for my university teaching tomorrow, got to go back to my students :) Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Please extend my warm regards to my two best buddies there, Caleb and Carter <3
@@findingequilibria8772 I am so glad you are feeling better. I bet your students missed you. Thanks for the continued love. ❤️
@@OurLightTravels Thank you po. Yeah, they've been messaging me to take my time and regain first my strength. But on a happy note, because of COVID, I already finished viewing all your videos, and it feels great! :) Take your time, we are just here to support your channel <3
@@findingequilibria8772 That is so sweet. Thank you for watching and traveling with us. We will definitely post when new travels and videos are coming your way. Thanks for the love.
Everytime the boys are climbing a tree, or running in the rocks, or running down the stairs, my heart worries hahaha But I can't stop smiling everytime they are kidding around :)
I feel the same way. It's hard sometimes to let them go a little and let them learn from the mistakes, but it must be done.
Oh, you have relatives in the Philippines! Been binge-watching your videos since yesterday (new subscriber here) and I love the adorable Carter and Caleb, so glad to know you have a connection to our country. Greetings from the Philippines! -Dan
You are too sweet! Yes, my aunt and uncle are in the Philippines. We wish the world would open up so we can finally get there. Hopefully someday soon. Hope all is well where you are.
@@OurLightTravels It's getting better here now, but yeah, I hope it would open up safely soon. Carter and Caleb would love the beaches here for sure.
@@findingequilibria8772 That's good to hear. They would love the beaches! They are obsessed with all things nature. It's such a beautiful place there.
@@OurLightTravels 💚💚
2 sweet brothers. I hope you guys, Caleb and Carter, remain best buddies until you grow old. Thank you for making me smile everytime I see your videos. You two are such sweet blessings. Greetings from the Philippines! - Dan
They really are great brothers. I'm so glad they have each other. Thank you so much for watching our videos. It means so much to us.
@@OurLightTravels You're welcome! Stay safe while traveling :)
@@findingequilibria8772 Thank you! You as well!
I'm not a parent so didn't relate to much of this but I love how practical you are. Respect!
So kind! Thank you so much. I hope you are able to take some of these tips as helpful. Here's to your travels!
Thanks for the video. Now they are charging people for carryon bags.
Airlines are the worst right now. Hopefully it will get better. And it probably depends on what airline you fly on.
Music too loud,
Thanks for the feedback.
Agreed. Thanks for the feedback.
Have you had trouble with having pills not in their original containers? Great video.
Great question. No, we have had no trouble at all. Of course, we travel by carry-on and haven't had anyone search our luggage. So I wonder if they would have a problem when they searched it?
Mossbrae falls is overrated in my opinion
Compared to other places in the world I could see that. But I think it is a beautiful addition to Dunsmuir.
The kids did SO WELL! Looks like y’all had a fun trip! We love ocean adventures too! 🐠
They really did well. I'm so proud of how flexible they are becoming with change. Ocean adventures are always exciting.
Your sons are so adorable♥️
Thank you so much. I sure think so too.
Nice! I just dropped a video on my adventure to Mossbrae Falls too!
Awesome! We will have to go take a look at it and see what fun you had.
Lay everything out, yes!!! And I don’t know what I did before Away suitcases. But still…impressive. I recently started rolling clothes and I guess I need practice.
It's an ever perfected system for sure. But I think as long as people don't bring so many "what if?" clothes, they will find that they have plenty of space. It also helps to evaluate after a trip to see what you actually used compared to what you brought with you.
“Hold me mommy” lol that is too cute 🤣💕
It’s so sweet. He’s just getting too big! 😂
Easier, but longer.
I figured. There were a few other people there and I know they didn't come the way we came. lol
Beautiful looking area. So funny to see shorts and tshirts then snow everywhere! Looks like they had a blast
We were thinking the same thing! We didn't expect snow at the first place. We were ready for a hike, hence the ill preparedness. Lol
Aw this is so cute! I'm heading to Tulum next week. Looks like you guys had a lot of fun! Thanks for the info!
Yay! Hopefully this was helpful to you. Have SO much fun. We seriously love Tulum.
Looks like everybody had a blast! 😊Love all those wildflowers. Thanks for sharing Chris ~ Megan
Thanks for watching! Yes, make our own fun everywhere we go for sure.
How many days did u stay for me 5 days cant wait to go there on july
We were in Tulum for 10 days and then Cancun for 3 days.
Ur kids so awesome
Thank you so much!! I sure think so.
I love all your videos and live vicariously through them.
I'm so glad Leon. Thank you for watching them. you're the best!
Great video. I’ll be there next week
Yay! You will have so much fun!
I feel like I was there after watching this video. Thank you for sharing
LOL. I feel like you were there too. I bet it was amazing for you.
Looks like fun. How did you feel about driving? How was the drive to chitzen itza? I was planning on using public transportation, taxis but I’d like the independence of my own car
We rented a car and preferred it because we like to be on our own schedule as well. I just posted a Q&A video that will answer this question.
Great video. Can’t wait to be there next month
This made me hungry
I had the same problem. I want to eat all the food.
We loved Coba!! Sucks that you still can't climb the pyramid, we were so disappointed too! 😭💔 That caterpillar shot is crazy!! Good stuff guys!
The caterpillars were so crazy! We almost put our hand on that tree. Coba was definitely our favorite ruins though. So cool!
Very interesting. Very beautiful there!
It was our favorite ruins that we visited. But you can choose for yourself when you see our new video on Sunday.
We almost ran over poop. 😂🤣
Way way WAY too cool!
It really was!! Each one is so amazing!
So cool! What was the ceremony you did with the smoke?
It was a Mayan blessing. And it was funny because he kept saying, "It's ok, it's not scary." LOL It was pretty cool though.
What an amazing trip. Your boys are so lucky to be making these memories. You should do a video sharing your story. How are you able to travel the world. Side note, going to Easter island in sept. You Should join
Easter Island?! That will be amazing. We already have plans for September or else we would. In one of our first videos we shared a little of our story, but someday I think we will share more.
Loved the black lights. But the best was the ice hole. Say that 3 times fast and try not to laugh. Lol
I kept thinking that too. lol. It definitely sounds inappropriate.
Very excited for you guys! Keep going!
Plans have changed a lot for sure, but we are still going when and where we can. Thanks for the support.
Very cool! I enjoyed checking that out. Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for watching. It was a really "cool" experience if you guys ever get a chance.
What a beautiful memory
It is the most amazing of memories. I'm so glad I have it captured forever.
The Airbnb is dreamy! Such an awesome destination 💙
We stayed at some pretty incredible places there. Which, it is hard not too, especially with the views of Scotland!
So brave!! I love your logo, how did you make/animate it?! 💛🌍
Thank you! I hired someone on Upwork to do the graphic design. I just sent him my image and told him what I wanted. It turned out pretty nice for pretty cheap.
My home state! Such a fun trip!! ❤️
It is?! We loved the rocks in Arizona. Beauty you can't find anywhere else.
Can’t wait to go to Arizona for spring break at the end of the month 😍 also love the mood set by the music. Very appropriate tune choice 🎶 family reunions are the best! Sedona has been my dream for such a looooong time
Are you going to Sedona during your AZ trip? It is so beautiful there! And the food is so good. I hope you guys have so much fun!
@@OurLightTravels yes! We will be in Tucson for the first few nights and then Sedona for the whole next week! I’m soooo excited for Sedona! I booked a pink jeep tour and a farm to table cooking class (on Airbnb experiences).
@@LivingUnconventionally Yay!! We were thinking about doing the pink jeep tour as well, but we decided to just relax. It had been a long road trip. LOL
Amazing trip
It really was. Our favorite one to date!
@@OurLightTravelsThats great experiences ☺
Wow that hot air balloon adventure looks 👌
It was an amazing experience that cannot be replaced. So awesome!
Looks like a gorgeous downtown area... and who doesn’t love torchys tacos?!
It was our first time. It was so good. And the downtown was really beautiful.
Wow...ya'll hit up some of the best in Texas!! Magnolia? Voodoos? The Alamo? Prada Marfa? I mean ya'll pretty much wrapped up Texas in this one video 🙌. Awesome stuff and thanks for keeping the Texas economy strong by stopping at Bucees!
Bucees was just the most hilarious thing to us. I don't know why. But the rest was just so unexpected and beautiful. We really love Texas.
beautiful. Love the music track
Thank you! I try to keep with the themes. ; )
