Family Travel Didn’t Stop When We Had Kids

Hi, I’m Jade, and welcome to my new travel blog!

If you want to travel more with your kids, you’ve come to the right place.

When we became parents, I never wanted to put travelling on hold until the children were older. So, we didn’t:

  • One child came to Australia
  • Two came to South Africa
  • All three came to Thailand

We also love a driving holiday and have travelled by car to Switzerland, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Belgium and, most recently, Italy.

Having kids hasn’t meant travelling less. We’ve simply adapted our plans and added a lot more playground stops!

I am a planner

I’m definitely not a spontaneous, “Let’s see where we end up” traveller. I love the planning.

Give me a new destination and I’m straight into researching, organising and building an itinerary.

A late deal? Never heard of it!

Practical Plans for More Family Adventures

I don’t think you need to wait until your children are older to explore. Sometimes, you just need someone else to have done the planning first.

That’s the bit I happen to love.

Here, you’ll find practical family itineraries, honest recommendations, money-saving tips and ideas to help you get more from every trip.

If you want to see more with your family without spending hours researching and planning everything yourself, read and explore my blog to give you the inspiration you need!
