About Us
Meet the Mathewson Family
👨👩👧👦 The Mathewson Family
Hi there! We’re James and the Mathewson family — a family of passionate travelers who believe that the best classroom is the world itself. What started as a single family trip turned into a full-blown travel obsession, and now we’re sharing every adventure, mishap, and magical moment right here on Our Travel Our Way.
Our philosophy is simple: travel doesn’t have to be perfect — it just has to be real. We show you the breathtaking sunsets AND the missed flights. The 5-star meals AND the street food gambles. The laughter, the tears, and everything in between.
🌍 Our Travel Style
🎒 Adventure First
We love off-the-beaten-path destinations, hiking trails, and experiences that push us outside our comfort zones. Life is short — climb the mountain!
👨👩👧 Family Focused
Every destination we choose is kid-friendly and family-tested. We share honest reviews, practical tips, and real experiences for families traveling together.
💰 Budget Smart
We believe amazing travel doesn’t require a fortune. We share our best money-saving hacks, budget accommodation tips, and how to travel more for less.
📸 Our Story
Our first big family trip was a two-week adventure that changed everything. Watching the kids experience new cultures, taste exotic foods, and make friends across language barriers reminded us why travel is the greatest gift you can give your family.
Since then, we’ve visited dozens of countries across multiple continents, always with the family in tow. From budget backpacking through Southeast Asia to luxury resorts in the Maldives, we’ve done it all — and we’re just getting started.
This vlog and blog is our way of documenting every chapter of our family travel story. We hope it inspires YOUR family to pack those bags and see the world too.
