Thank You
Lyza Paloma from lyzappy, thank you for thinking of me and nominating me for this award. What fun! Your adventures are really cool–even sleeping wrong on a Japanese futon while couch surfing. Hopefully, one day you will be able to couch-surf at my place, I will make sure there are instructions and we will show you around the fun Baltimore offers.
The Rules
The 11 Questions
1) Why are you blogging and what’s the story behind your domain name?
Blogging let’s me share my family travel adventures, and inspire other families to travel. Too many times in my daily, non-traveling life, I heard parents comment that their kids were too young to travel, would not adjust to the changes, or would not remember their travels. It made me crazy to hear this. Travel is the best thing you can give to your kids at any age. It not only creates memories and family bonding, it helps how they view the world around them. Kids adapt, and travel helps them to become more adaptable to change. Travel is a better gift than any material object. We are a family of five, so I chose the name Five Family Adventurers.
2) If you were to write about only one country? What country would it be and Why?
Israel. It is such a small country, constantly surrounded by political conflict, always in the news and yet continues to thrive and advance despite everything. There is a lot to see and do in Israel and the food continues to amaze me with its fresh taste and evolving cuisine. The people are innovative and proud. Women and men are both mandated to serve in the army and equally pioneer technological and economical advancements for their country. Also the beaches are beautiful, the forests lush, and the desert breathtaking.
3) Among all Disney Characters, who do you most relate too?
Ursula from The Little Mermaid. She has the biggest personality, the craftiest plan, and the best songs.
4) If you were to sing a song in public, what would it be and which singer would you want to help you sing it?
I love Nina Simone’s version of I put a Spell on You. Although some may consider spells as a form of power, I consider it to be a form of influence and hopefully my writing is influencing others. I would want Cyndi Lauper to help me sing it. She’s so fun, influential and has good vibes.
5) You could only bring one gadget on a trip around the world (it’s going to be fully charged, of course), what would it be and why?
Sadly, my phone. Can’t live without my smartphone; it is my connection to the world. More importantly, it is my camera as well.
6) Do you like Game of Thrones? Who do you think will end up on the Throne?
YES! I think Daenerys Targeryen, although I wouldn’t mind if Sansa Stark swoops in a takes control. She deserves it.
7) If you get something unlimited, what would it be and why?
Wine. At the end of the day, sometimes a nice glass of wine is just what you need.
8) What’s the funniest or most awkward experience you had while traveling?
When I was on my honeymoon in Italy, it was prior to good GPS and my husband and I were going to visit a small winery. We couldn’t find it on the map and kept driving around. Finally we asked an elderly gentleman in broken Italian and without hesitation, he hopped right into the car, directed us and then continued on his way. This stuff doesn’t happen in the USA!
9) The worst food I ate was __durian__ from __Thailand__ because _why would mother nature do such a thing?___
10) If you were to post about your favorite person, who would it be and what would be your favorte line about them.
My husband. He is a compassionate,caring, genius who always tells me I’m his number one fan. Also an amazing father.
11) What’s the best feeling you get from blogging?
When someone comments that “what an amazing experience for your kids.” It gives me a sense that hopefully, one day, my kids will be able to take what we have given them and create the same experiences and family moments with their kids.
