ABOUT US

We’re Paulo and Erica. Travel Made Simple is our travel blog, written from Portugal. Real places, real moments: family trips when we can, and the yearly boys trips Paulo will not skip.

We’ve traveled with three kids. Two are grown, one is still at home for a few more years. Least stress possible is the whole point. We keep photos and videos so family back home can see where we actually went.

Why Read Our Stories

LEARN FROM OUR EXPERIENCES

We write what we actually did. Plans that changed, packing lists that lied, long days that were worth it. If a trip was uncomfortable, we say so.

One of Paulo’s favorite things is to do a yearly boy’s trip. He chooses a place around the world that is adventures and chooses things that can be a bit uncomfortable. He believes that we weren’t meant to be comfortable all the time and for men it is good to get out of your comfort zone and do some guy shit!
