About us

Lindsay hails from Vancouver, Canada but has discovered she loves being a foreigner. She is the voice behind most of the posts you will find here and is a Jordan travel expert. She is spontaneous, loves travel, soccer, wine, photography, and only recently discovered she loves to write. After intermittently journaling for most of her life and then talking about blogging since their first vacation as a family of three, she has finally put the plan into motion. She has the vision behind Carpe Diem OUR Way and has forever tried to seize the day and not let an opportunity slip by. She is new at solo parenting, as well as solo parent traveling and is sharing what she learns about the trials of wrangling two boys by herself on overseas flights and hotel rooms!

Lindsay is an elected member of SATW’s Canada Chapter as well as a member of TMAC, and ATTA.

Lindsay’s freelance writing can be seen in Travelife, Go Nomad Travel, Canadian Traveller, Travel Thru History, Shoulders of Giants and many collaborations online. You can see her published articles on her Freelance Page.

Mattias and Markus are currently along for the ride. At (now) 13 and 11 years old, they are now seasoned travelers!  Many have watched my kids grow up in this blog, from adventurous preschoolers to teenagers! They are evidence that travel with kids at any age with always worth it!

Most of the posts you will find on this site are catered to traveling with my kids in tow, but that does not mean they are not applicable to all travelers. I love spontaneity and adventure and bring my kids along for the ride!

About the Author

Lindsay Nieminen author of Carpe Diem OUR way

Lindsay Nieminen

I help families travel boldly.

Whether that’s exploring Jordan’s epic sights, road-tripping through Central America, or finding adventure here at home in Canada, I believe kids don’t hold you back — they give you a better reason to go.

I specialize in:

  • Adventure travel with kids
  • Travel to misunderstood destinations
  • Realistic family itineraries for kids of all ages

When I’m not traveling, I’m likely driving someone to practice or running a food tour company in Amman.

Welcome to Carpe Diem OUR Way — where we seize the day as a family because time is not promised.
