Welcome to Our Family Travel Tips Section

In this Travel section, we’ve put together some tried-and-tested family travel tips to help make your adventures — whether holidays, business trips, or full-time worldschooling — more enjoyable and stress-free.

As a travelling, home educating family, we know that travel isn’t all sunshine and sandcastles. We’ve faced airport delays, packing disasters, dodgy Airbnbs, strange local rules, and surprise gems we’d never have found without getting lost! Through it all, we’ve learned what works (and what definitely doesn’t), and we want to pass that insight on to you.

Here you’ll find real-world family travel tips based on our personal experiences — not just the glossy version. From how to keep kids entertained during long trips, to navigating allergies abroad, and finding budget-friendly places to stay. We share what we’ve learned so that you can avoid common pitfalls and enjoy the journey more.
