Hi everyone, this is RainbowMC. I am a travel enthusiast and have been to 24 countries. I used to be a solo traveler and did backpacking thru Europe in my 20s. Now I travel with family a few times a year and travel has been so different and comes with various challenges traveling with kids and of course all the fabulous memories too. I have always been passionate about travel planning, packing, tips and tricks, not to mention having learned a lot of lessons the hard way. Starting this blog to document our story and share my tips and tricks around travel, about packing list for your next checked bag and really anything beyond the checked bag. I am also a huge personal finance nerd and love to talk about anything related to personal finance. I love to help people audit their monthly budget and identify ways to improve their finances. Travel and personal finance are interrelated. The better we do at personal finance, the more resources we will have to travel to more places and reach our goals.
