Travelling is like getting pregnant. Only a lot more fun, and you feel thinner.
As is the case with an imminent birth, as soon as you announce to the world that you intend to pack a case and head out on vacation, you will be bombarded with lots of well-intended tips for travel. (more…)
We have been travelling the world as a family for exactly ten months. Living a life of full-time travel.
Within that time we have visited endless countries and slept in beds, sheds, and in vehicles that I wasn’t sure we would come out of alive.
I’m not going to go into the ins and outs of where we’ve been and what we have done, just know that our long-term travel lifestyle has been incredible; I feel as though we have been to the end of the earth on a cloud.
For God’s sake don’t let my teenagers see that I am writing a traveling with kids post. They’d be horrified to hear me referring to them as kids. They are 17 and 14. According to them, they are almost ready to collect their pensions. (more…)
As a family who travels, we are always on the lookout for unique travel necessities and gift ideas for our kids. Last year saw us backpacking around the world with our teenagers, my girl, aged 14 and our son who is 17.

I have compiled a list of 20 of my top choice, best travel gifs for kids 2020. (more…)

As travellers, we are often asked how we afford to travel. Sharon tells us how she found the money to fund her travels by being an egg donor.

I believe when a teenager graduates high school and immediately begins their college years, it can lead to mental burnout. (more…)
Why do people travel? And why are some families more addicted to traveling than others?
We have been travelling the world with our two teenagers for almost eight months. To us, it was a dream that we had been nurturing since the children were babies.
Not only were we desperate to travel, but we were also adamant that we would share that experience as a family.
And so we set out to make it happen. Sounds too simple?
Let’s say it wasn’t that hard.
I’m Liz, and this is my family.
I do Travel. I do Wine. I do being a mum to big kids. Sometimes I do all three at the same time.
I don’t do hormones. Or looking perfect for Instagram. Or dieting.
