Hi there! 👋 We’re the De Souza family—a pack of six who believes that life is better when it’s lived outdoors, fueled by curiosity, and shared with the ones you love most.
Welcome to Family Packed, our corner of the internet where we’ll be sharing the real-life chaos, connection, and adventure that comes with raising an active family on the move.
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Who We Are
There are six of us in this crew—two parents, four kids, and a whole lot of energy. We’re not perfect, but we are passionate about making the most of this season of life. Whether we’re hopping on bikes, hiking a new trail, exploring a new country, or testing out the latest kid gear—we do it together, and we do it all-in.
We started this blog because friends kept asking:
What bike should I get for my 6-year-old?
How do you travel with four kids and still stay sane?
Is that gear actually worth it?
Where the heck is Railay Beach and should I go there with my kids?
So here we are—sharing what works, what doesn’t, and all the in-between moments that make up our active family lifestyle.
