Father & Daughter Travels

Welcome to our FatherDaughter Travelblog. My name is Dave, and I am the owner and author of Bondingexplorers.com

Since November 2023, my 14-year-old daughter, Vanessa, and I have been living our dream, embarking on a full-time adventure around the world as a father-daughter duo, all while balancing online schooling and remote work.

With home bases in both Bali and the Netherlands, we travel primarily through Southeast Asia and Europe, with Malaysia being our favourite. Our extensive experience with visiting over 40 countries, fuels our passion for sharing expert tips, crafting personalized itineraries, and offering unique insights to help you create unforgettable memories on your own journeys.
