Welcome to Ibuerte Play! We are a family of five, two parents and three curious, energetic kids, sharing our journey of creating a slow, meaningful childhood, making memorable family traditions, and exploring Europe on a budget.

Ibuerte Family

Meet Our Family

We are an expat family from Asia, currently based in the beautiful city of Stockholm, Sweden.

Ibuerte.com is managed by Linea and Muhamad. We combine our experiences in digital platforms, creative engineering, and mindful parenting to share authentic family travel and home activities. With over 10 years of experience building digital platforms, we are passionate about adventure, travel, and creating memorable family moments.

For us, moving to Europe was the beginning of an incredible chapter. While settling into our life in Scandinavia, we realized that the best way to connect as a family was to embrace the great outdoor lifestyle, simple household rituals, and travel.

Traveling Europe with 3 Kids (On a Budget!)

Traveling with one child is an adventure; traveling with three is a full-scale operation! Over the years, we have mastered the art of budget family travel without compromising on the joy of exploration.

From our home base in Stockholm, we frequently set out to explore our neighboring European countries. Through this blog, we share our first-hand itineraries, travel hacks, and budget-saving tips from our family trips to:

  • 🇨🇭 Switzerland: Navigating the Swiss Alps using the Swiss Travel Pass, finding kid-friendly trains, and exploring scenic alpine routes from Zurich to Lugano.
  • 🇮🇹 Italy: Experiencing dynamic rail travel and tasting authentic local food on a budget in Milan and Rome.

Our Budget Travel Philosophy:

  • The Smart Pass Advantage: Using regional transit passes (like the Swiss Travel Pass or local rail passes) to keep transport costs low.
  • Slow Travel over Checklist Travel: Spending more time in parks, scenic train rides, and public playgrounds rather than rushing from one expensive tourist attraction to another.
  • Kid-Centric Planning: Aligning travel paces with the needs of our three children, packing smart lunches, and finding free, high-value local spots.

What We Share on Ibuerte Play

Beyond travel, this site is a collection of our daily family rituals. We believe in rejecting “corporate-looking” parenting in favor of warm, authentic, and nostalgic family moments. Our content is divided into five core pillars:

  1. Finds: Smart, honest product reviews for high-intent parenting and travel purchases.
  2. Kitchen: Fast, practical meal prep and recipes that our three picky kids actually eat.
  3. Tradition: Simple family rituals that build deep emotional connections.
  4. Activities & Sparks: Low-prep, screen-free educational activities and STEM play ideas.
