Behind the Adventures

Hi, I’m Maria

I love to travel. Primarily Europe but I will go almost anywhere. Family travel has always been important and we’ve experienced many fun adventures. As my kids have grown we are also having fun traveling as a couple. I’m hoping some of these travel notes will help you when you’re planning for your next adventure.
