Either you ease yourself into your holiday preparation nice and gently, leave yourself no room for mistakes by using a travel checklist that Mary Poppins would be proud of
Or…
You can be like the majority of people who are planning a vacation.
You save up all year, get stressed out of your brain worrying about anything and everything including the fact that you forgot to buy travel insurance, and then freak out because the kids aren’t as excited as they should be.
Only to return home two weeks later feeling broke, frazzled and quite frankly, exhausted.
If you had to pick just a few, which would you say were the most beautiful places in the world to visit?
This is a question that our family hears a lot when we tell how we spent twelve months travelling the world together (two adults and two teenagers) on a budget.
We visited thirty-three countries in total – all of them magnificent – but some wore the crown of being a teeny bit more beautiful than others.

This is the question that everyone asks you when you tell them that you spent twelve months travelling the world with your teenagers.

This week, Sonny (my 18-year-old son) and I made a podcast episode that talked about our favourite places around the world and why they were considered by us to be deemed beautiful.
Why not listen to the podcast on the world’s most beautiful countries while you read the blog post? OR if you are a more visual person we have also recorded the podcast so that you can watch the video further down the post!
Of course, you have to take the kids, but apart from that, if you are looking for ideas about what to pack for a road trip then you are in the right place.
Road trips are all the rage this summer. So you for one are in the trendy line.
Can you use apple cider vinegar for sunburn? Or will you end up smelling like a packet of Walkers salt and vinegar crisps?
It’s not a good look, is it? The first week into your perfect vacation and there you are with bright red cheeks and scarlet shoulders that send you into orbit if a piece of clothing brushes them.
Remember when rain ponchos were the ugliest thing in the world?
Long, plastic, see-through monstrosities that only someone very desperate to keep dry would wear?
Well, lucky for us travellers, things have moved along in the world of ponchos. Now we are searching out the best rain ponchos on the market so we too can stay dry and look utterly stylish too!
