About - Coffee and Currency®

Amid corporate careers, raising children, including a disabled child born with a rare genetic condition called Fragile X Syndrome, we continue navigating the globe. There’s few things we can enjoy traditionally as a family as a result of our son’s condition, but travel is one of them. Follow our journey to all 50 of the United States, 100 countries, 7 continents, and the 5 oceans, where we’ve done all the work so you just have to…GO.

Over the past 20 years of traveling, we’ve identified what to see, and how to see it. Itineraries are both an art and a science, and a ton of work to pull together. However, they make all the difference in the travel experience.

Due to the necessity to plan for an individual traveling with Fragile X Syndrome, we’ve often invested months planning for our destinations, and have shared the fruits of that labor. Do not waste precious time on vacation planning your day, or waste your money on a mediocre meal. Usually the best things to see are free and the best local dishes to eat are cheap, if you do your homework.
