Hello and welcome to Big Brave Nomad!
We are a family of 5 traveling the United States and the world. We began our journey somewhat by accident after we spent two weeks in Europe when our first born was only 6 months old. When we got home, we were inundated with questions about traveling with a baby. This lead me to start the blog in 2016 and since then we have trekked 25 countries, 48 U.S. States & 50 U.S. National Parks with kids in tow!
While we started our family in Florida, we moved to California for two years in 2020, and now we are living in Barbados! Since getting to Barbados our family has grown from 4 to 5 and we are very excited to explore the world as 5!
I am so glad you can follow along with us and witness our adventures from the mundane to the insane! Contact me with any questions and connect with us on social media. We would love to hear from you!
