From right to left: Bridget (me!) Benoit, Elodie, Zelie-Louise, Agnes, Adelaide, Claire and Marius Mello, Gabriel… and Gramma, too! She’s not in this picture but definitely part of the crowd, and a fellow traveler at 91!
(“Lammie” in the picture thinks he’s a Poodle. Shhh!! Don’t tell him he’s not!)
We live in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. My husband, Benoit (pronounced Ben-WAH! He’s French. Nuff said…!) our SIX kids, and my 90 year old, spunky mom, Claire, who still travels everywhere with us.
Two of the above have finished college and moved out,( but I still claim ownership!) Two others are in various stages of college, one a high schooler and one in junior high. So in kids, we cover all ages, stages and expense levels.
Also unpictured is our first grandchild, Maxine, to add another element of excitement to our multi-generational traveling!
We LOVE Life!… and Fun… and Travel…. and each other.
We LOVE Being entrepreneurs and helping others become entrepreneurs, too….
Which we didn’t always have the choice to do before!…
You see, Benoit worked for a corporation, I worked for an airline before quitting to be a full-time mom of the multitudes!…
But we knew there just HAD to be a better way to make a living!…
One that didn’t suck up our entire lives….
One that would allow us flexibility to be with our family…
but also a way that would financially SUPPORT our rather numerous offspring!… and our rather upscale tastes!
NOW? We work at home together, we’re entrepreneurs with too many ideas, and we travel ALOT!
We run a consulting business, this Traveling Turpins Blog, and a Travel business out of our home. And we help others explore ways to own their own lives and do the same for themselves and their loved ones!
We share our multi-generational travel info and adventures here with you for the purpose of inspiring YOU to join the adventure!…
To live a life of Fun, Freedom and Fulfillment… to live on your OWN terms… whatever that looks like for you and your family.
