Our first stop in our series "Traveling Adventures with the Familia" is Ecuador. Here are some fun facts to share with them before you head down south. One of the things I highly recommend to families who are wanting to raise globally minded children, is to travel. And you don't even have to go very far. I know it sounds basic but so many people think that the only way to raise globally minded children is by leaving their own country.

14 Things to do in Quito, Ecuador with Kids
I had the wonderful opportunity to do some freelance writing for the Miami Herald! It's in todays newspaper, if you get the Miami Herald go to the Today in Ecuador section to view my article.

Don't miss the small but magical Christmas miracles all around you. The last time I decorated my house for Christmas in the U.S. was on November 2007.
