Me and my mum talked about travelling together for years, but there was never the right time. After loosing my grandma I realised that neither me nor my mum will be here forever, and that there is never going to be the right time until I make it the right time.

After months of planning we embarked on our biggest adventure together: travelling across the United States.

    I took my mom to a friend's weeding in Portland and made it a vacation. Traveled the Pacific northwest. Still to this day we both say it was the best trip either of us have been on.

    My son and I have recently traveled to Italy, where we spent 35 days. It was our first trip together, only possible because I retired. The trip was a dream of his, since he was a teenager and it was wonderful. Now we dream about the day we will have another opportunity to do that again. To Italy again, for sure!
