Three years ago we flew out to Tenerife for what turned out to be a special moment in our family’s journey.
The reason for the trip was simple.
I wanted to head over to La Gomera to see the Talaska Whiskey Challenge launch.
I’d been working with a client for two years to get him ready to row the Atlantic.
And it felt important to be there before he pushed off.
But it became much more than that.
It was our first time travelling abroad as a family.
No schedules.
No rushing from A to B.
No distractions.
Just us.
And honestly.
I loved every second.
There’s something powerful about stepping away from the world and giving your full attention to the people you love.
The laughing-out-loud moments.
The silliness.
The conversations you don’t normally get time for.
The way your shoulders drop when life isn’t pulling you in ten different directions.
That trip reminded me how easy it is to get caught up in everything else.
Work, responsibilities, noise.
And how important it is to switch all of that off sometimes.
Because when you tune out the world, you tune into your family.
And those moments become the memories you carry for life.
