Would I be wrong in guessing that you’ve dreamed of spending a few glorious weeks in Greece with your family at some time in your life?
An idyllic Greek Island vacation. A trip to Greece.
Have you spent hours (dare I say weeks) drooling at pictures on the internet of golden sand beaches and flat-roofed white houses that can only be found on an island in Greece somewhere in the middle of the Aegean Sea?
You and me both.
I can’t tell you how many times I have typed into Google ‘What does a Greece vacation cost’, only to be forced towards twenty million ads that never give me a straightforward answer.

If we’ve heard it once, we’ve heard it a thousand times: How do you afford to travel the world? Are you rich? How do you afford to keep taking so much time off to travel?
Why haven’t you got a proper job?
I cannot wait to share this episode with you!
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine that we would be a couple who could say, ‘We have location-independent jobs and get paid while travelling the world’.
Never.

Going on vacation can go one of two ways.
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.
And you have sunburn on your shoulders.
Sound faintly familiar? Just a teeny bit?

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.

Which were the most beautiful places on earth?
This is the question that everyone asks you when you tell them that you spent twelve months travelling the world with your teenagers.
That, and did they miss their friends?
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.
