Expert Travel Advice & Escapist Fun From Dad’s Perspective: A blog focused on travel, theme parks, and entertainment to help families navigate through life’s adventures.
It’s trite, but true: life’s an adventure – whether it takes you across the street, across the country, or across the globe. Adventures by Daddy invites everyone to follow along as one father, with a passion for travel, discovers the adventures that abound every day. This blog will focus on solo travels for work, family travels for relaxation and vacation, and also highlight everyday adventures at home with family and parenting. Adventures by Daddy will cover select films and television shows that also embrace the spirit of adventure. I invite you to follow along, share your thoughts and perspectives, as we discover the world together and build a community of families interested in travel and adventure.
About the Author:
Dave Parfitt is married, father of two, and lives in Rochester, New York, USA. I’m also a runner with a PhD in neuroscience, and work full-time at a bucolic Western New York college. Throughout my academic training and career, I’ve lived in numerous Northeastern and Midwestern US cities including Ann Arbor, Michigan; Chicago, Illinois; Middlebury, Vermont; and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania before settling in the Finger Lakes Region of Western New York. For work I’ve traveled worldwide to Brazil, Italy, Nicaragua, Portugal, Qatar, and Romania. However, it was planning a Walt Disney World trip as father of two budding princesses that I became “bitten by the Disney bug” and discovered the true magic of Disney Theme Parks. In my spare time, I serve as correspondent for the DIS Unplugged, the largest unofficial Disney internet travel guide. To cover theme park news for The DIS, our family has traveled to Orlando, Florida; Anaheim, California; and Disney Cruise Line ports of call numerous times.
