Getting around Busan with kids is surprisingly easy. Getting across Busan quickly? That takes a little more strategy. We spent three weeks based in Haeundae with our three kids, ages 10, 8, and 4, and explored all over the city without renting a car. I frequently headed out alone with the kids, using the Busan…
The colorful Haeundae Sky Capsules get most of the attention, but there’s more to Busan’s Blue Line Park than those cute little cars floating above the coast. We spent three weeks based in Haeundae with our three kids, ages 10, 8, and 4, and ended up riding both the Sky Capsule and Beach Train. My…
Busan is huge. Book a hotel in the wrong area, and your family could spend hours crossing the city instead of enjoying it. We stayed in Busan for three weeks with our three kids, ages 10, 8, and 4. We based ourselves in Haeundae but explored eastern, central, and western Busan using the metro, buses,…
Busan is one of the best places to visit in South Korea with kids. It feels more relaxed and spacious than Seoul, with beaches, markets, coastal attractions, museums, theme parks, and plenty to keep families busy. But Busan is also much larger and more spread out than many visitors expect. Choosing the right base and…
Seoul is an exciting, family-friendly city with incredible food, rich culture, and more things to do with kids than you could fit into one trip. It is also expansive. After three trips to Seoul with my three children, I learned that the hardest part is not finding family-friendly attractions. It is figuring out where to…

The baby passport application process is not hard, but it can be picky. You need the right form, the right documents, a usable passport photo, both parents in person,…
Seattle has a lot going on for families in a compact, manageable, gorgeous, and tasty way. It offers families a little bit of everything: museums, parks, playgrounds, waterfront walks, ferry rides, food stops, and classic sightseeing. We’ve visited Seattle with a toddler, lived in the area with little kids, and later returned as a family…
If you’ve ever buckled a 3-year-old into an airplane seat and immediately thought, Cool, now what do I do with this much energy in this little space, you’re not alone. Flying with a 3-year-old is a lot in a very small space. I’ve done it on everything from quick domestic hops to long-haul international flights…
Trying to decide where to stay in Seattle with kids? Seattle looks easy enough on a map. Then you add kids, hills, hotel prices, parking, traffic, and the question of whether you actually want to drive everywhere. We’ve visited Seattle many times, lived in the Seattle area, and tested a mix of city stays, neighborhood…
Seattle has a reputation for being rainy (true), but Seattle has a special soul that grows on you over time with kids. It’s a place we can’t seem to check off our bucket list, not for a lack of trying; it just keeps calling us back. Seattle is part city, part outdoors, part food destination,…
