Welcome to Ginger in Paradise!

I’m Erin – the heart behind this life and travel blog.

Travel has been part of my story for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my parents sparked a love of adventure in our family. Summers were spent exploring national parks and charming cities across the western United States. As a Florida girl, the wide open spaces and rugged mountains of the West felt like another world. Our trips weren’t fancy – we camped, stayed in rustic cabins, and even rented an RV to explore Alaska – but that was part of the magic. The joy was not only about the destinations, but also in the laughter, the shared experiences and the simple moments spent together as a family.

As I grew older, our travels expanded to Europe, adding a new layer of wonder to our family adventures. Now, with a family of my own, I’m carrying on that tradition – exploring the world (near and far) with my husband and our two daughters. Our trips almost always include my mom and sister, allowing us to make special memories across generations.

Ginger in Paradise grew out of this deep love for travel. It’s my “living scrapbook” – a space where I’ve captured everything from pre-kid adventures, to pregnancy updates and toddler milestones, to our latest summer escapes.

Just like life, I don’t know exactly where this blog will take us – but that’s part of the fun. The beauty lies in the journey, and in all the memories we’re making along the way. I hope you find a little inspiration here to chase your own version of paradise – wherever it may lead.

Until the next adventure, much love and good travel vibes!

Erin
