Hi there! We’re the Thomasson’s!
A Pacific Northwest family through and through, we’ve grown up with a deep appreciation of the ocean, the mountains, fresh seafood, and good coffee (okay, well maybe just Ashley appreciates that last one). We’ve set out on a mission to help inspire, encourage, and equip families for traveling together.
Married 11 years, we took our first overseas trip to Italy in 2014 and fell in LOVE. Not just with the beautiful scenery, food, and culture we experienced, but also with how visiting someplace totally different and new taught us so much about ourselves and the world. Together, we’ve explored 9 countries with the heart to learn about other cultures, sink into their rich histories, and seek out the most incredible foods we can find.
After welcoming our newest little crew member in 2019, we grew determined to continue doing what we love with kids in tow. We’re excited to have you along in our journey as we share our tips and experiences traveling abroad together!
Brian
A do-it-all extraordinaire, Brian is an entrepreneur with three businesses under his a belt, a stay at home dad, and a professional hobbiest who loves trying and learning new skills. He’s become the resident expert in cooking Thai food at our house and Ashley’s favorite meal is his Kra Pow Kai Dow. When traveling, Brian lives for learning about ancient history and discovering the area locals’ favorite specialty drink.
Ashley
With over a decade in social work and a past-life as a business owner and makeup artist, Ashley is fueled by advocacy, coffee, and connecting with people. She loves cooking with and for her family in the kitchen, baking her grandma’s banana bread, and can whip up a mean XXXXXX. It’s no surprise that her favorite part of travel is finding the tastiest food and learning how its made.
Ava
Ava Mae joined our team in 2019 and we couldn’t have dreamed up a more perfect baby for us! The smiliest, most outgoing baby you’ll ever meet – Ava loves waving at everyone and making friends wherever she goes. A non-napping baby for fear of missing out, Ava keeps us on our toes daily! She’s yet to meet a food she doesn’t like and approaches all her adventures the perfect balance of curiosity and silliness.
