Lucie Miller

Hey there! Welcome to my lil blog space – I’m Lucie, an elementary school teacher from Kansas City, USA. As you may know, one of the perks of being a teacher is getting the 10-11 week summer vacation period off. Now, whilst I spend most of my precious vacation time marking books and getting prepped for next semester, I do have some time to escape on vacation with my family, or with my group of girlfriends from work. 

I know, personally, I do love having the chance to relax in a luxury hotel (with a spa is a bonus) and explore a new city’s environment, trying street food and enjoying some much needed retail therapy by purchasing one-of-a-kind products from local businesses. As my job and home life revolves around spending all day with children, whilst I love it, I find these vacations with my partner or my girlfriends are a nice break for a bit.

However, I also enjoy camping vacations with my kids, where we go back to basics away from technology, and just enjoy the resources nature has to offer. I have found, particularly bringing young kids with you, that finding a campsite with some facilities like toilets and showers makes your life 100% easier, but you can find more tips like that on my family vacation planning page.
