Travel Tips
Looking for practical, real-world family travel tips? You’re in the right place.
This section is where we share what’s worked (and what hasn’t!) on our own travel adventures. We’ve moved from South Africa to Spain – and later to the UK – with kids. We planned long-haul flights, sold nearly everything we owned, and made more checklists than we care to admit.
If you’re preparing for a big move or gearing up for a family trip, these posts will help. Our goal is to save you stress, give you a head start, and help you avoid the hiccups we had to figure out the hard way.
New travel tips are added regularly. You can check back often, or hit Follow to stay updated.
