Blogs about adventurous family travel

The global wizards.

We write the article, so I guess we can be on the list as well ;-)? We are Jurgen, Heleen, Yuna (2010), and Hanne (2011), also known as The Global Wizards Family.

As a full-time travel family, we are passionate about photography and creating content to inspire all of you with our Instagram and this blog.

Our home country is Belgium, which we love. But traveling has been part of our lives since the beginning of our relationship and we didn’t stop when we got kids. Our girls have been traveling since they were babies.

Over the past years, we have been all over the world, partly living the van life with our old VW bus. While traveling, we also work online and homeschool the kids.

Our blog is all about sharing our experiences, tips, and passions. We’re experts in adventurous family travel and photography. We write about the destinations we visit, give you advice on travel in general, photography, working while traveling, traveling on a budget and so much more.

5 lost together

We are a Canadian family of 5 that blogs about our travels at 5 Lost Together. Making travel a priority in our lives, we believe there is no one right way to travel with kids.

We specialize in independent, budget adventure travel around the world . We have taken our kids to go trekking in Nepal, chasing Komodo dragons in Indonesia, road-tripping across the Australian Outback, riding camels through India, lived on a sailboat in the Bahamas for 4-months, and more.

Travel Babbo

I’m Eric and have been blogging for eight years about adventurous family travel . I’ve taken my kids to 62 countries and all 7 continents and am always searching for the coolest, most unique kid-friendly activities around the world. Every year each of my three kids (12, 14, and 16) gets to choose any destination in the world for a one-on-one trip with me.

World Travel Family

My name is Alyson and I was the original creator of the world travel family website but these days my husband and son work for me and help with some writing and videography too. The tech stuff is still all me but I’m training them up.

Our site was born 8 years ago when we decided to take the kids traveling as a vital part of their education. We were on the road for 6 full years then hit a wall and had to go back to sort out house problems. My advice to anyone doing this is to get rid of your house and all your stuff, it’s a milestone you don’t need.

Our site is a travel resource covering 50 or so countries , it continues to expand. Where have we been, well, everywhere? We’ve crossed Europe many times, lived in Vietnam, Romania, London, and Australia, and have taken the kids to Everest Base Camp, Tibet, and Bhutan.

Our family loves cultures, food, wildlife, and people, not so much hotels and beaches. We cover the travel we love and we don’t travel on sponsorship, so we can keep it real and tell you honestly what we liked and disliked. Our website is our business and our freedom. It has changed our lives and given us so much. We hope you find it useful.

Travelynn Family

This family of four from the UK pushes the boundaries of family travel and believes that adventure should not wait until the kids are older. They have trekked the Himalayas, lived in India, traversed Africa in a Land Rover with roof tents, and are spending 4 months of 2022 slow-traveling through Morocco after deregistering their boys (age 7 and 8) from school. They also take on some pretty fun European road trips in their Mazda Bongo camper at every available opportunity.

Jenny and her husband both work remotely, which enables the family the freedom to travel when they want. However, they strive for a balance between long-term travels and basing themselves in the UK, as their boys love school. So when they’re not adventuring off the beaten track, you’ll find them hiking in the hills of the Peak District National Park where they live.

If you want to take your kids to Africa or Asia or love an epic road trip, TraveLynn Family is definitely one to follow.

Our Overseas Adventures

We’re a Canadian family of four who loves to travel. Our favorite adventures are the ones that take us to off-the-beaten-path locations. We love it when family and friends have to pull out a map to know where we’re going.

We’ve traveled to over 50 countries together, including Togo, Benin, and Burkina Faso in West Africa and the Guyanas in South America. Our long-standing favorite country though is Vietnam (we really love SE Asia!).

Our most recent adventure has been converting our Land Rover Defender into an overland vehicle. We plan to spend the next decade driving around the world.

Our family blogs about our adventures and is packed full of practical advice, budget information, and real-life tips for visiting the places we’ve traveled to.

Where is the world

We’re a Canadian family of four who loves to travel. Our favorite adventures are the ones that take us to off-the-beaten-path locations , and we love it, even more, when family and friends have to pull out a map to know where we’re going.

We’ve traveled to nearly 50 countries together, including Togo, Benin, and Burkina Faso in West Africa and the Guyanas in South America. Our long-standing favorite country though is Vietnam (we really love SE Asia!).

Our family blog’s a bit about our adventures and is packed full of practical advice, budget information, and real-life, tested by our tips for visiting the places we’ve traveled to.

An epic education

The website An Epic Education is designed to provide all the resources you need to plan an incredible family trip. Living abroad since 1997, blogger Jason Andrew Jenkins has been traveling with his kids since they were babies.

In 2013, he and his wife Keiko left their desk jobs in Tokyo, pulled the kids out of school, and started traveling full-time as a family. For the following six years, they lived in Taiwan, Malaysia, Spain, and Mexico, experimenting with homeschooling and local schools along the way.

In August 2019 they returned to Japan so their kids could reconnect with the country of their birth. They still travel as often as possible and are constantly planning the next trip.

Adventure and sunshine

Adventure and Sunshine are a family of 4 exploring the world together. Collectively we have traveled to 56 countries on 6 continents, 31 of these with our children. We are passionate about independent adventure travel, slightly obsessed with getting outdoors and love sharing practical advice on how to travel the world with kids .

On our family travel blog, we talk about how to plan a family gap year, the best road trips, RV travel, and the best travel destinations with kids. Because having kids doesn’t have to mean the end of adventure travel.

Mum on the move

Mum on the Move is a family travel blog, featuring family-friendly travel tips, reviews, inspiration, and destination information from around the world , with a strong focus on Asia and Australia.

At Mum on the Move, we feel strongly that having kids doesn’t have to stop you from engaging in adventurous and culturally interesting activities. Our kids have been bamboo rafting in China, snorkeling in Indonesia, kayaking with fireflies in the Philippines, climbing temples in Myanmar, and walking the canopy walkways in Borneo, on top of many more fun family adventures.

The Wandering Daughter

Astrid and her family have been travelling full-time since 2018. So far, their travels have taken them to the United States, Mexico, Costa Rica, Italy, France, and Indonesia.

The Jetsetting Family

The Jetsetting Family blog provides travel tips from Rodrigo, Jessica, Santiago, and Nora who have been traveling the world full time for almost 2 years. Their travels have taken them to Southeast Asia, North America, South America, Europe, and the Middle East.

Their blog also contains all 34 episodes of The Jetsetting Family Travel Podcast, which consists of travel tips, interviews with other traveling families, and ways to make travel more of a priority in life. Each episode is jam-packed with info and a great way to get family travel content on the go!

Caz (Caroline), Craig, and their two lovely daughters Kalyra and Savannah are originally from Australia but live in North Carolina now. Although they call the world their home.

They’ve been traveling full-time for years, a big part of that in the US during their American Unplugged road trip. Now they live in Raleigh.

Their family travel blog is full of advice on why you should travel with kids, destination tips, how to plan everything and so much more.

Full Suitcase

Jurga Rubinovaite is a mom of three and the founder of one of the world’s leading family travel blogs, Full Suitcase. Originally from Lithuania, she now lives in Belgium and takes every opportunity to escape the daily routine and travel with her family.

Full Suitcase is a travel blog for families who want to show their kids the world beyond beaches and theme parks . We travel to some of the world’s most exciting destinations with our three boys and share our first-hand experiences and practical tips with our readers.

Our kids have traveled ever since they were little and have been all over the world – from South Africa and Namibia in the South to Iceland and Greenland in the North, and from Australia in the East to the United States in the West….

We love seeing the world through their eyes and creating amazing memories together with them.

Small kids’ family travel blogs

Baby can travel – family can travel.

We are a family of 4 from Western Canada. We took our first trip with our firstborn when she was 3 months old from Canada to Barcelona. At the time there was very little information online about traveling with babies, aside from general tips on flying.

Traveling with a baby for the first time, and making plenty of mistakes along the way, was the inspiration for Baby Can Travel. Through our Baby Can Travel blog we hope to inspire other parents to keep traveling with babies and toddlers, plus provide information and advice on where to travel and all the best baby/toddler travel gear .

Since that first trip with our daughter, we’ve continued to travel with both our kids multiple times a year. We’ve experienced so many incredible things with them, from chasing waterfalls in Iceland to eating all the mango sticky rice we could get our hands on in Thailand. Our kids have hiked in some of the most beautiful places on earth. We continue to share all our travel adventures on our second blog Family Can Travel .

Read more on Baby Can Travel and Family Can Travel .

Our next adventure

Hi, we’re the Ishmaels! Matt, Laura, Evelyn, and Sophie. We’re a pretty typical American family, living in Omaha, Nebraska; that is, aside from our serious case of wanderlust. After realizing most of our best family moments have come while traveling, we’ve committed to a life of experiences over things, traveling in any spare moment we can find!

We like to travel slowly, really taking in one city at a time, so we still have a lot to conquer on our bucket list! So far our favorites have been Lisbon, Tulum, Florence, and Charleston (quite the eclectic bunch!).

We’ve traveled with babies, toddlers, and now two kids in tow, and through the entire process have learned how to stretch our dollars further, traveling more and spending less than ever before.

We love to share it all on our family travel blog, Our Next Adventure, where you’ll find family-friendly itineraries, packing lists, tips for traveling with babies and toddlers, plus tons of free printable travel planning resources to help keep you organized!

Our goal is to show other families that traveling with kids is not so hard. Or, at the very least, it’s worth the extra effort for the rewards on the other side!

Flip Flop Globetrotters

We started our family travel blog Flip Flop Globetrotters in 2015 to document our travels, share our travel experiences and inspire other families to travel with their young kids .

After 10 months of traveling around South East Asia when our son was a toddler, we now have a home base in the Netherlands.

We love to travel with our son and we love to write about it! Our dream is to travel full-time again, but for now, we travel whenever we can. Our most recent trips brought us to Mexico and Egypt.

The Funemployed Family

We’re Ben, Kelly, Liesel, and Mason! We call ourselves The FUNemployed Family. Here’s how it started!

In 2018, we realized the “American Dream” wasn’t for us. We had successful careers but we weren’t fulfilled by working our life away to be able to afford the things we THOUGHT we needed as a family. Due to the stress and work burnout we didn’t end up spending much quality time together as a family. It was neither healthy nor sustainable. We decided to sell our home and most of our belongings and hit the “reset button” on life.

Over the next two years, we full-time traveled around the world to 28 countries taking back all the lost time, bonding with our daughter, and planning our future. We welcomed Mason to the travel crew in 2020 and since then have moved into remote careers in financial consulting and brand content creation. We also own/operate two Airbnbs in addition to managing our family, lifestyle, and travel blog, Instagram, and TikTok channels.

We hope that we can inspire other families to think outside the box, push back on society’s “norms” and truly live the life you want . We’ve grown so much as a family and experienced more than we ever thought possible, and it’s all thanks to making that 1st decision to change our lives.

Big family travel blogs

Our globetrotters.

The Globetrotters are a British/Australian family of 5 living in the United Arab Emirates. Being long-term expats, they have used their Middle East posting to explore extensively the region, and their UAE airport hub for traveling around the world .

Their favorite holiday spots have included Cambodia, Oman, and Jordan, though Thailand and Bali are also family favorites for relaxing beach breaks.

Globetotting

Globetotting is a blog for families that love to travel run by Katja with lots of support from her husband Nick and three kids Alfie, Tess, and Sam. Katja started Globetotting when she was living in New Delhi and quickly realized there was a lack of information available for parents like her who wanted to explore India as a family.

What started as a family travel blog focused on India and south-east Asia has quickly grown to cover everywhere from Mongolia and Mexico to Guatemala, Finland, the UK, and more. A travel writer by trade, Katja brings her years of travel experience to her blog – and her travels – and is constantly searching for that next family adventure.

Wanderlust Storytellers

Wanderlust Storytellers family travel blog follows the adventures of the five enthusiastic travelers in the Ejmont family. The blog focuses on family travel destinations, tips for traveling with kids of all ages as well as all-important kids travel gear .

Their family travel adventures take them all over the world. They venture out from the kangaroo country of Australia, South Africa’s national parks, and Namibia’s deserts to Italian, French, and Polish old towns, and from bustling cities of Japan to remote tropical islands of Fiji, Vanuatu, and Thailand.

If you are after unique experiences that the whole family can enjoy then these guys are certainly the ones to follow.

Our 3 kids v the world

I’m Sally, the founder of our3kidsvtheworld, a family travel blog focusing on travel for larger families with a splash of luxury thrown in for good measure , who doesn’t love a bit of luxury!

We are Australian based and we travel during school holidays. We have traveled extensively in Asia but have also explored New Zealand, the USA, and the Caribbean. Our heart definitely lies in South East Asia.

We run two Facebook Groups for people interested in traveling in Asia, these are South East Asia Travel Planning and Hong Kong and China Travel Planning, we talk about everything related to travel in these areas, and of course, I love it when members share their photos.

Traveling with a larger family can be challenging as most hotels really only focus on the nuclear family of mum, dad and 2 kids. This is hardly the standard anymore and families come in all shapes and sizes and we’re here to show you that travel can be for all family sizes.

Go Live Young

Go Live Young is a family of five, with three boys aged 10, 12, and 14, who have a passion for travel and adventure. They’ve recently returned from a nine-month round the world trip, an adventure of a lifetime. Now living back in South Wales in the UK, and traveling as much as the school holidays will allow.

Their adventures include trekking with Komodo Dragons, road tripping around New Zealand, swimming with sharks in South Africa, and hiking 4444 steps in Norway!

Travel for Go Live Young is all about having an adventure as a family, creating lifelong memories by doing unforgettable things, and seeing the world .

World of travels with kids

World of Travels with Kids is a family travel blog that shares our love for this amazing planet and its people . We’re a multi-cultural family, the kids are half Nicaraguan, half Australian; with one born in Peru when we lived there.

We share honestly about places we’ve been and know well; especially Western Australia where we live, and Peru where we spend a lot of time.

Having recently lost our partner/father we’re learning to live again and to solo parent as well. In short, we share stories of love, connection, and adventures, as we travel the world to our own, unique rhythm.

Family Travel Blog World of Travels with Kids Solo Mom

Solo moms’ family travel blogs

Mumpacktravel.

Solo mum Evie and her 12-year-old daughter Emmie spent years backpacking Asia full-time, and since covid, they’ve returned to Sydney where Emmie has started high school, and as well as continuing their trips together, Evie is now doing trips alone.

So far this year they’ve explored Malaysia and Fiji, and Evie has traveled alone to Dubai, Hawaii, and cruised the Greek Islands with Royal Caribbean.

Evie and Emmie share their journey with practical tips about where to stay and what to do, how to pack up your life and start the best adventure you’ll ever have with your family, and now how to travel without kids (also super fun!) .

Lizzie Lau Travels

Our mission at Lizzie Lau Travels is to provide a family travel resource with stories, city guides, road trip routes, tips, and hacks to help parents and their kids make the most of their travels.

Though our focus is on traveling with kids, I spent my adult life before kids traveling the world and working as a chef on private yachts, so I have a lot of insight into solo travel, luxury travel, budget travel, and in between.

I caught the travel bug at an early age living a nomadic life with my parents. We moved 20 times before settling down in BC when I was 10. At 22 I left to work on a dive boat in The Bahamas and finally returned home at age 45.

My 9-year-old daughter was conceived in Guatemala, born in California, and has already been on over 50 flights. It’s safe to say she’s following in her mama’s footsteps and developing a passion for travel.

Learning to breathe abroad

A South African Mom and Son team traveling , homeschooling, and working our way around the world .

We spent 12 months backpacking around South East Asia, then bought a campervan in the Netherlands and spent 9 months traveling extensively through all the Eastern European countries, a few Western European countries, and spent 2 months in Morocco.

We’re just starting out on our next big adventure – a year traveling through South America. Join us as we explore new places, eat exotic food, dance in the rain and look for high adventure wherever we go!

RV family travel blogs

Let’s travel family.

We are a full-time traveling family of 6 who started out by RV living and traveling around North America in 2017. Then, 2 years later, we put our RV into storage so that we could venture out into world traveling.

Our family travel blog, Let’s Travel Family, provides tips and suggestions for great places to visit, advice about RV living can camping, and encouragement to go ahead and travel with your kids ! Make those lasting memories now, don’t wait for one day down the road.

Otis and us

Katy and her husband have three young children and love the great outdoors. Having spent the last 5 years converting their beloved campervan, Katy and her family love nothing more than to travel, explore, and create wonderful memories along the way.

Otis and Us is a family travel blog; sharing travel tips, family days out, family travel, glamping, and campervan adventures with an aim to inspire others to travel with young kids and embrace the belief that life is an adventure.

Crazy Family Adventure

We sold our house in 2014, bought an RV, and have been traveling full-time around North America ever since.

On Crazy Family Adventure we share different things you can do with kids when you visit a destination with a focus on outdoor adventure and National Parks . We love encouraging other families to get out and travel more and live life the way they want to.

General family travel blogs

Four around the world.

Four Around the World are an Aussie family of four who fit in travel as often as they can. Holly and Simon have traveled to almost 30 countries and their daughters are quickly catching up, having visited 5 continents so far, with Europe being a favorite.

They love sharing family-focused travel tips, comprehensive kid-friendly itineraries, and destination guides with the goal of helping to make family travel easier for other families who want to do the same.

Thrifty Family Travels

We are Melissa, Andy, and Myla and together we run the blog Thrifty Family Travels. We have always had a passion for traveling, exploring new destinations, and making friends across the world. Between us, we have traveled to 38 different countries and don’t plan on stopping anytime soon!

We’ve had our blog for almost 6 years now which focuses on good value family travel; not necessarily the cheapest travel but rather we show families how to spend their travel dollar wisely, without ever compromising on experience .

We advise families on what components of travel they should go budget and where they should splurge a bit as well as how to pick up bargains along the way.

Unlike other family travel bloggers, we are not nomadic. We live in Brisbane, Australia but like to get out and travel as much as we can. While we prefer to get off the beaten track and explore the more adventurous destinations, we’re also just as happy to visit the typical family-friendly tourist destinations.

Most of our travels tend to be in Australia, South East Asia, and the South Pacific, but we have also traveled throughout Europe as a family as well as North and South America individually.

Pack More Into Life

Hi! My name is Chelsea and I am the writer and traveler behind Pack More Into Life along with my husband and young son. We are a military family traveling the US and Europe as we move around the world with my husband’s career.

We put an emphasis on spending quality time together as a family by traveling to new places, taking weekend trips, and exploring the areas where we live.

In my blog, I cover over 20 countries with ideas on where to visit, which restaurants have the best food, and family-friendly activities . We hope to inspire you to wander through the beauty of Plitvice Park in Croatia, relax on a cheese farm in the Netherlands or go on a 2-night river rafting trip in California!

Our Family Passport

Hello, I am Kam from @ourfamilypassport! Ourfamilypassport is an award-winning travel blog that focuses on showing how Insta-worthy family travel can be doable, affordable, and accessible to nearly everyone!

I am a mom to a blended family of six and an art history professor by day and a travel blogger and creator by night. We are a crazy circus with normal jobs, school schedules, and day-to-day responsibilities, but we make sure to carve out time to explore the world together and we love showing how you can too!

We have learned from experience that family travel is one of the greatest ways to grow together as a family and to help you and your children become global citizens! We show you how to have the freedom and ability to cultivate a life of discovery and fulfillment through family travel. We are all about experiences over things!! The memories and moments together are everything and they are possible!

If you are looking for practical and relatable ways to plan, book, and pay for those Insta-worthy vacations that you have always dreamed of then pop on over and say hi! We love new friends and would be so happy to have you part of our crew!

The learning escapes family

We are an international family of 4: Marta (mum), from Italy, Philip (dad) from Ireland, and two children, Mr. M and Little Ms. E. Living in Ireland, we love to travel and go on family holidays any time we can

Sometimes it is a short hop, like a weekend in Europe, and other times it is longer trips, up to about 3 weeks at a time. We need to follow school breaks but we always make the absolute most of them!

When we go for long, we usually do it via home swaps. We leave our home to a foreign family and, in exchange, stay in their place. It is a wonderful way to experience places like locals and we have also made great friends all over the world this way!

We have loved all our trips but we do have some favorite destinations: in Europe, we adore Rome (my hometown), Amsterdam, and Lisbon and in the US we are obsessed with National Parks and California, one of our favorite places on earth (the photo is from Joshua Tree).

We talk about all our trips on our website Learning Escapes: there, you find all our itineraries and tips for traveling as a family, based on personal trips and experiences near and far . Traveling and writing are our great passions and we show them both on the blog: we hope you enjoy it!

No back home

Karilyn is a writer, photographer, and social influencer providing detailed information for family travelers to inspire them to get out and explore the world, even if it’s only in their own city.

Karilyn and her nature-obsessed family members focus on outdoor adventures that the entire family can enjoy .

Since 2000, Karilyn has traveled to 49 countries on her own and to 32 with her son. The duo travel can be found anywhere off the beaten path like the Amazon River or closer to home in one of the US’s many amazing National Parks.

Flashpacking Family

Behind the scenes of the Flashpacking Family are Jacs (Mum and content creator), Ed (Dad and digital marketing expert), Ernie (wildlife enthusiast), and George (fearless explorer).

We have more than 20 years of travel experience pre-kids and have been traveling as a family since our children were babies. The boys have visited 15 countries so far and have started putting together their own bucket lists, including Australia and all its deadly animals.

Our family favorites so far are South Africa, Jordan, Iceland, and Sri Lanka but the list keeps on growing as we explore the world together. Above all, we have learned that it’s important to spend quality time together, making memories as opposed to collecting things. We live a minimal life, traveling as often as time and budget allow.

Since having kids, we’ve also developed a better awareness of the importance of traveling sustainably and are always thinking about the boys’ future when we book our travels. Through our blog, we aim to promote the benefits of family travel and inspire others to step out of their comfort zone and try something new .

Together we roam

Rene Young best describes herself as nobody special, together with her husband she wrangles two primary school kids aged 8 and 10 poorly and is fully entrenched in the hum-drum of mum life.

By night she’s scheming of new places for the family to go and uses her inarticulate words to escape to a world where she prefers to be; hunting down secluded beaches, getting lost in a city’s back alleys, and experiencing new places and faces through the eyes of my children.

Her award-winning blog is a small space on the internet that combines family and travel, her two greatest passions in hopes that it may inspire or help families to go and get out there .

Parenthood and passports

Damon and Melissa have been traveling the world with their daughter since right after she was born. From the charming streets of Europe to the dirt roads in Central America, their goal is to visit all seven continents as a family by the time their daughter turns ten years old. (Yes, even Antarctica is on their travel list!) Some of their favorite places to visit with kids include Japan, Colombia, and Scandinavia.

Founded by two award-winning journalists, Parenthood and Passports is a resource to help parents travel safely and easily with kids. They provide detailed reviews, well-researched itineraries, and tips learned through their own experience traveling the world as a family .

Although travel is their passion, Damon and Melissa haven’t quit their day jobs. Instead, they love showing other ordinary, working parents how to prioritize travel, budget, save, and see the world — one or two weeks off at a time.

Detail Oriented Traveler

My blog, Detail Oriented Traveler, is for busy moms who want to travel more with their kids before they move out . We feature authentic vacation ideas and practical travel planning advice.

Tonya Denmark, owner, coffee drinker, beer lover, and mom extraordinaire, and her family are based out of central Florida and are on a mission to visit all 50 states. Follow along as she shares authentic Florida destinations and unique US destinations that her teenagers love.

We love to follow Travel Babbo as well!

That’s quite a detailed list! When it comes to planning a family vacation, I am completely overwhelmed. Hopefully, these blogs will provide me with some useful tips for planning a fantastic holiday after Covid-19. I would absolutely have a look at these.

Thank you so much for your comment! Glad you liked our list and happy planning!

great blogs to follow specially if you are planning a family vacation.

It’s very touching to know about these family travel blogs. Reading this post has made me exclaim this thing ‘Family that travels together, stays together.’

Travel can be an enlightening and eye-opening experience for children of all ages: there are new foods, experiences, and sights, not to mention quality family time. But traveling with children can also be an overwhelming proposition — unpredictable schedules, long packing lists, and cranky kids are just a few of the challenges you may encounter along the way. But here we’ll help you make traveling with kids a breeze. After all, you and your children should enjoy every moment of seeing the world and create a lifetime of memories along the way. Isn’t that the point of travel in the first place?

I’m a big fan of EscapingThe Bubble Travel Family. The husband is an airline pilot and he gives the inside scoop on where airline pilots travel with their kiddos and family. They are entertaining to watch but they are definitely more of a travel vlog as opposed to a family life vlog.

thanks so much for bringing them to our attention. I will definitely check them out!

Have a great day, Heleen

Amazing blog, I really enjoyed reading your blog, it feels good to read something amazing after a long time, please keep on writing blogs like this.

Sounds Good..!

Travelling with kids is important, to create a stronger bond, family togetherness and memories. It also helps kids’ education to foster a worldview beyond their own backyards. Traveling together creates great memories and moments that will last a lifetime.

We love being part of a passionate dynamic community of families who travel. Travelling with kids can be next-level-crazy at times, so it’s important to surround yourself with a community who share their passion, skills and experience. Every family in this blog has inspired us in one way or another and reminded us why we do what we do.

This article is packed with adventurous families from all over the globe, with a huge range of travel styles. Adventure travellers, long term travellers, worldschoolers, flash packers, budget backpackers, van lifers and more. Some of these blogs will help you plan a budget holiday. Others show you smart ways to do luxury. Some of these blogs will teach you how to backpack as a family on a budget. Other blogs will astound you with their intrepid adventures and breathtaking photography. This article is an introduction to a remarkable community of adventurers, wanderers and storytellers.

The take home message from all these inspirational families? YOU can do it too. Whether you are inspired to pick a more intrepid destination for your family holiday.

This community of family travel bloggers challenge us to push the boundaries and say “no” to normality. They challenge us to seek greater adventure and to grow closer as family.

2 Wonders within Reach

Family travel blogs to follow Wonders within reach

“You can take on the wonders of the world with wheels!”

Homepage: Wonders within Reach

Travel style: Accessible adventures, city breaks and theme parks

Authority: USA and Europe

Ok these guys have seriously inspired us. We mentioned that we would feature a variety of families. Some of the most successful family travel blogs nail a niche. And this is possibly one of the most inspiring niches out there! In their own words, Wonders Within Reach exists for the dual purpose of inspiring and enabling families with disabilities to get out and explore and raising disability awareness within the travel community. This is one of the best blogs about family travel for children with disabilities. We don’t even want to try and put this into our own words, so check out what Jennifer says about Wonders within Reach.

Wonders within Reach share their vision

“I’ve always been a lover of all types of travel, so when we first found out that our middle child would never walk, we had to do some mental adjusting. After I got over the initial shock, I was determined to stop focusing on the “problem” and find solutions – and to help other families to do the same! Now we share as we travel and learn to help other families navigate accessible travel. Through travel, we better understand the world we live in and the people it’s made of.

Instead of fearing the different and unknown, we learn through experience that different isn’t bad, or scary, it’s just different. The more we connect with people, the more our hearts expand to include them into our worldview, and to desire justice and equality. I don’t want to stop traveling, because I don’t want to stop growing. I need my children to see people who not only look different than them, but experience life in such a different way. Prejudice is steeped in a discomfort with the unknown… so let’s make it known!”

3 Top Flight Family

Top flight family Luxury family travel blog

“Traveling with kids doesn’t have to be draining or difficult or unpleasant.”

Homepage: Top Flight Family

Travel style: Fun, food and luxury family travel

Authority: Everywhere. Especially the Americas and the Caribbean

Looking for luxury blogs about family travel? Top Flight Family are best known for creating an incredible luxury travel lifestyle through their work. There’s so much to learn from Top Flight Family. They are leading experts when it comes to making travel more enjoyable. They share savvy tips for choosing what to prioritise and have developed some of the most clever ways to save on all things lux. Their awesome YouTube is packed with fresh travels guides and reviews from some of the worlds top destinations. If you’re planning a city break, luxury hotel stay or are even thinking about flying first class somewhere, hop over and check out their YouTube Channel . What’s really special about Top Flight Family is the way they are building phenomenal character and life-skills into their girls – and it really shines through. Check out their website to find out whey they are one of the leading family travel blogs.

Top Flight Family share their goals

“We travel with our kids, not just because we believe that travel offers incredible learning opportunities when it comes to culture, history and geography, but because we know that travel builds life skills. Through experiencing the ups and downs of travel alongside us, our daughters have developed important life skills like resilience, patience, flexibility, stamina, optimism and resourcefulness. These are skills that will benefit them for the rest of their lives, no matter what type of career they end up having.

Anytime we have an opportunity to save time, reduce hassle and maximize comfort, we’ll take it. Sometimes we do it in big ways, by staying in a luxury hotel or upgrading to a business class flight. And sometimes we do it in small ways, like paying a few extra bucks to take a taxi instead of the subway, or by paying for an express lane rather than wasting valuable time standing in a line. The more we can introduce comfort, ease and time savings into our trips, the more we enjoy it.

One thing I hope that our audience can learn from us is that traveling with kids doesn’t have to be draining or difficult or unpleasant. Everyone has budget constraints, but it’s all about choosing wisely when deciding what to save on versus what to splurge on. Get clear on what matters most to you, and don’t be afraid to splurge on that by saving on other things! If you’re a big foodie, stay at a cheap Airbnb instead of a fancy hotel so you can splurge on great restaurants. If you absolutely live for a good luxury hotel, save on airfare by flying a budget airline or using points and miles smartly, so that you have the budget to splurge on your accommodations.

Just because we specialize in luxury family travel doesn’t mean we splurge on every aspect of our trip! We always decide which aspect of the trip we’re willing to splurge on, and we do other aspects cheaply to make it happen!”

She has now directed her talent, creativity and commitment to develop one of the most exciting projects in family travel. The Travel Mum is all about equipping and enabling families to travel on the tightest budget – and still have an AMAZING time as a family. With years of travel experience behind her, she has worked out ways to help families that are new to booking holidays independently do it well.

We are particularly impressed with the innovative “request a trip” concept. If you’re looking for an amazing family holiday on a budget – check out The travel Mum. Here is what Jen says about her amazing website…

The Travel Mum shares her goals

“Hi! I’m Jen, an ex NHS doctor and avid traveller. I run The Travel Mum alongside my partner João and our three year old son, Leo. João is Portuguese, we met and fell in love whilst I was travelling in his hometown of Portimão. We absolutely love travelling together as a family and have done since Leo was just a few weeks old.

We travel every month but always on a very tight budget. Clean and comfortable for the cheapest possible price is always our goal. Prior to The Travel Mum we would post videos on TikTok of the trips we were taking, many people would comment wanting to know how we could afford to travel so often. We started sharing the prices of our trips, how we found them and tips on cutting costs. From there The Travel Mum was born.

The aim of our website is to help people travel more but spend less. We spend hours each day looking for the cheapest possible flights out there, we then pair them with a great value hotel to allow people to get away on a tight budget. This helps couples, families and solo travellers with low income get away and explore the world. We regularly find trips for less than £100pp!

The Travel Mum ha s a premium side to the website that allows people to “Request a trip” – This is a personalised service where we will search everything that is available and provide the cheapest options for the member’s specific needs. We check DIY deals (booking flights and hotel separately) alongside package prices, to make sure the prices we provide are the best value. A nd we have kept the annual subscription fee at just £24 for the whole year, making it affordable for everyone to access the service.

We have a new website being developed that will be released in April 2023. It will have some major updates that will make finding cheap trips simple for all.”

Tina runs Hangry by Nature and we absolutely love her way with words.

Hangry by Nature shares her vision

“People always say that life ends after having kids, I mean – it’s true to an extent, but I refuse to accept such a miserable and bleak prospective future. It’s probably the end of sanity as you know it, but I like to also think that life begins. We can’t nearly begin to tell you how much travel means to us. From the memories we hold onto dearly from the days our parents gallivanted us around the world until this very day – our nomadic tendencies never left us. When we settle in one place for too long, we get a serious case of FOMO.

Travel inspired us to leave our traditional jobs, harness our creative talents and turn Hangry By Nature into our full-time jobs. It has taught us how to tolerate one another 24/7 without strangling each other, it has given us cultural awareness and blessed us with the ability to reflect on our strengths and weaknesses. Most precious of all, it has allowed us to spend time together as a family and create memories that matter. From our adventures (and misadventures), we want to pass knowledge and inspiration (infused with a helluva lot of humour) to families who love to travel as much as we do. We hope that our practical travel guides and informative YouTube videos provide value and ease when you plan your itineraries.”

“We’re Ben, Kelly, Liesel and Mason and we’re The FUNemployed Family! After a decade climbing the corporate ladder and settling into an unfulfilling suburban life, we realized our current path wasn’t mental health sustainable and we needed a change. We quit our jobs, sold our home and took off on a yearlong, 25 country trip around the world with our toddler. Our goal was to reset our lives, focus on what’s most important, spend more time together as a family and experience the world.

Three years later, we’re still going strong as a digital nomad family experiencing the world with our kids while we work remotely in finance and content creation along the way. Our goal is to encourage others to live a life of “experiences over things” and to not wait until retirement to travel. Our time with kids is fleeting and it’s worth making tough life changes now to ensure we live with no regrets. We share tips for traveling with young kids and family friendly destinations and hotels around the world!”

Since then, they’ve visited over 50 countries while working on photography, videography, and social media campaigns with travel and hospitality brands. During the pandemic they settled in Florida and are now constantly planning their next trip as well as helping other families travel more together.

“People always told us to travel before kids because after kids you can’t travel. Those people are missing out. Traveling as a family has allowed us to create so many awesome memories! We take Olivia and Everett everywhere with us. Occasionally, we’ll do a couples trip, but for the most part we feel there’s nowhere we can’t take them. You can truly make any destination kid-friendly. Though, we do try to find family friendly hotels or rentals and activities that will be fun for them in every place we visit. The kiddos have become quite the rockstars at traveling. We often have to be flexible and they just roll with the punches.

“Ryan, Natalia, Benjamin and Jack – an adventure family with the focus on spending more time

outdoors as a family. We started our RV travel life in 2020 after planning it all out for two years. Initially we just wanted to travel and see all the places in the US but our journey quickly turned into much more than that. Plunging into a lifestyle so extreme (no RV or camping experience + no remote jobs) took a lot of courage and a whole lot of faith! We’ve always had a mindset of “it’ll work out one way or the other” and this lifestyle really put this mindset and our faith to the test. It’s been 2.5 years of growth, bonding, connecting, overcoming trials with some adventure

sprinkled in between. We truly believe that life was meant to be lived, felt, experienced and shared with your loved ones. Everyday is a gift and we ought to use it, not just hope to use it one day.

Boston Tribe Travels is an inspiring story of a family who is living their dream of traveling the world. They are a great resource for families who are considering their own world travel adventure.

Boston Tribe Travels Share Their Goals

“We’re a typical family from the UK, at least that’s what we’d like to believe (though opinions may vary!). For the past decade, we’ve lived, worked, and wandered across international borders, all the while looking for any and all opportunities to travel with kids.

Our story began in 2010, pre kids, when we made life changing choice – booking a one-way flight to Malaysia (an enticing offer from AirAsia at a mere £99!). With a head full wanderlust and insufficient bank balance, we embarked on an adventure that would impact our choices forever, traveling for as long as our funds would allow.

Six months later, reality caught up with us, and we found ourselves counting pennies. In pursuit of this dream, we discussed how could we make this our full time life, we ventured to South Korea, where we embarked on a new chapter teaching English.

Two years and a baby later, we realised that teaching could be our gateway to maintaining an international lifestyle. We briefly returned to England for fully qualified teacher training and welcomed another little rascal into our family before finding ourselves in North Cyprus, teaching at an international school.

From Cyprus, our journey took us to the lush landscapes of Brunei in Southeast Asia, where we spent the next five years surrounded by the jungle. However, when the grip of the pandemic locked down the country, we were stuck within its borders. It was during this time of reflection that we made a commitment to truly living life (didn’t we all?) “

Craig and Caroline Makepeace have been living and traveling around the world since 1997. They turned their passion for travel and inspiring others to live a values-based life into creating one of the world’s biggest travel blogs, which has been recognized by the White House twice.

For them, a life without travel is like trying to drink water from a straw with holes in it. It just doesn’t work. So, putting travel at the center of their life has been a necessity, more than a want. When everyone gleefully tried to tell them their “travels were now over” once they had kids. They gleefully said, “We’ll show you!

Beyond Khaosan Road share their adventure

Our shared love of travel is one of the things that first brought us together, having both had incredible experiences exploring the world solo. As our family grew, we balanced work, family, and travel as best we could, but this all changed during lockdown. During these strange days, we found immense joy and fulfilment in spending quality time with our children, engaging in their education and development.

This experience inspired us, and as of November 2023, we have started a new chapter of our travel adventures with our two wonderful daughters, Georgia and Eva. We have sold up and left the day-to-day behind to spend 18 months exploring new cultures, breathtaking landscapes, bustling cities, and the remote corners of the globe. Our blog is a fusion of a travel guide and authentic family stories, where we share our experiences and offer an unfiltered look at life on the road as we educate our children through astonishment as citizens of the world.

Our Globetrotters share their story

“In a prior life I worked as a Chartered Accountant in Melbourne, Australia then London, UK but I have put my full-time career on hold to focus on my young children, writing, share trading, joining countless committees and in my remaining time learning more about the world through the friends I meet and of course, my travels. From street stalls in Asia to beer cafes in Belgium I regularly traveled for over 10 years prior to having my first child in 2010.

I assumed from this point onward my travel days would be numbered; but as my daughter’s passport is testament to, she had already visited five continents and clocked up 100,000 air miles with us by the tender age of three. With three children now in tow, my travel experiences have certainly changed – and our combined air miles sit well over 1,000,000! – but our travels are still rewarding. The Globetrotters Blog draws on my own travel experiences and the advice I have gathered from fellow traveling parents, as well as what I have learnt about different cultures and how the expatriate life affects parenting.”

World Travel Family share their story

“We decided travel was the best possible lifestyle our family and we have no regrets at all about travelling with the kids for so long. It was all wonderful and everything worked out just as we hoped it would. We travelled full time for almost 7 years with 2 kids until Covid caught up with us and we found ourselves stuck behind closed borders in Australia for a while.

During that period (after quietly losing our sanity through being stuck) we bought a farm with the aim of being as self-sufficient as possible while maintaining and improving the land and supporting our native wildlife. We all got involved in volunteering and conservation efforts locally, particularly protecting The Great Barrier Reef, which is on our doorstep. We just had to make the most of the hand we were dealt during those years and some of it wasn’t easy. We’re about to set off again. We have a big trip booked for just after Christmas, at least 6 countries on the itinerary so far including Bali, Thailand, Greece, Jordan and home to the UK.”

We both work full time as software engineers and have been strategically using parental leaves, holidays, and personal time off to schedule in as much travel as possible.

We’re both from Eastern Europe and grew up in various parts of the world until we met each other in Canada during our first year of college! We truly believe that travel and experiences shape who you are as a person, and really opens and expands your mind.

One of the most common things we hear is people telling us “why bother, the kids won’t remember”. And while that may be true, it also builds a foundation of resiliency, adaptability, open mindedness and so many other great aspects of your life. Also – these memories are as much for them as they are for us! We love sharing new experiences with our kids and seeing them see the world for the first time 🙂

“Since I started this blog, it has become my passion to talk to other families like us about how to make travelling with kids not just easier but something that is super fun for everyone. I truly believe in the many many benefits of family travel (as long as it isn’t stressful!) and in how you can make lasting, positive memories with your children.

I want to empower you and your family to take holidays that you might think are beyond your reach now that you have kids because until recently that was ME! Now don’t get me wrong, this is not (necessarily) about having the same holiday that you had pre-children, nor is it to say that everyone should take their kids backpacking in India for 6 months. Although… if you want to and can do either of those things then good for you!

It’s about understanding that there are ways to have the holiday YOU want to have but that also works for your kids. There’s truly is no right or wrong to family travel. Every person and every family is unique and it stands to reason that the holidays that they take will be too. And that’s exactly as it should be.”

Our Next Adventure share their story

“In 2015, we had achieved the American Dream: a beautiful home in the suburbs, good paying jobs, and a baby on the way. We had it all, yet still felt discontent. We’d done everything we were supposed to do, so why’d it still feel like something was missing? That’s when we realized, in this life of schedules and predictability, we had lost of our sense of adventure. We knew we needed to make a change. So 3 weeks before our daughter Evelyn was born (probably not the most opportune time, eh?), we decided we would finally make travel a priority! Even if it meant doing so while navigating this new adventure in parenthood!

Now, 4 years and 2 kids later, we’re adventuring more than ever before! And we’ve learned to balance our life at home with a life of travel, having the best of both worlds. We’ve also learned along the way that life is short, and we want to give our kids the world. Spending our time and money on experiences, rather than things, is what makes us feel whole. Whether your family is completely new to travel with kids, or simply searching for your next adventure, we hope you’ll find some practical advice and inspiration here! Because it’s never too late to choose adventure.”

“If I’m not travelling, I am day dreaming about where we should visit next or already planning the next adventure. Planning trips and creating itineraries is as exciting as travelling itself for me! I love nothing more than researching various destinations around the world, reading reviews on hotels, restaurants, and places to visit, learning how to navigate around a city, and discovering exciting activities.

Nicole draws on here impressive experience and ingenuity to make travel smooth and enjoyable with kids. Jetlag and Mayhem is a fun, up beat and helpful family travel blog with a wide destination coverage.

Nicola shares how she started Jetlag & Mayhem

“The Jetlag & Mayhem story started in 2009, as a new mum living in Hong Kong. I was about to set sail on my first solo long haul flight with a 4 month old baby. H owever, I couldn’t find any resources online that resonated with me about how to travel with a baby. I mean, where do you put the baby? How do you sterilise bottles? What do you pack? How do you stop the baby crying? Help!

I soon figured it all out (wet wipes are the answer to everything) and friends started to ask for all my tips. Rather than continually send out the same email, inspiration struck. I knew I wanted to bring together a site that shared the true story of traveling with a baby; the vomit, jetlag and beyond! Thus Jetlag & Mayhem was born and I have loved writing it ever since.”

“We are a family of 4 with a passion for traveling and adventure. I’m a teacher (great profession for travelling), my wife Connie is in project management and we have two travel-loving boys. Currently, we live in Papamoa Beach, New Zealand.

Travel has been in my blood since I was 10 years old, I was lucky enough for my parents to take my sister and me to America and Mexico for a couple of months. Though I had a wait a long time before my next adventure the moment I finished university and one year of teaching I was off. The next 12 years were about adventure and experiencing what the world had to offer.

During this time I met my wife and together we travelled the world and lived in various countries.

By the time 2010 rolled around the first of our two kids arrived and within 4 months Lukas was travelling. When Sawyer arrived he had to wait a little longer for his first adventure… 6 months.

We love travelling with our children. Sure the party life has mostly disappeared but the excitement of planning, visiting new destinations, watching our kids grow as world travellers especially their confidence and most importantly creating precious memories. you can’t beat family time!

We built our travel blog to help other like-minded travelling families who are keen to explore the world while not breaking the bank. If this sounds like you, check out our blog, there is something for everyone.”

Let’s show our kids the World!

“ Don’t wait to travel with your kids until they’re the ‘perfect age’! You never know what’s around the corner to mess up your plans; I think the pandemic has taught everyone that. And really, does the ‘perfect age’ even exist? ”

( Jenny Lynn, Mum and Editor of TraveLynn Family )

Want to travel with your kids?

You’ve come to the right place for inspiration. Here we share our family travel tips, personal reviews, and itineraries for global travel adventures!

We’re the Lynn Family, aka ‘TraveLynn Family’ – Jenny (Mum), Jay (Dad), Arthur (age 10) and Ezra (age 9). We’re from the UK, but live in Malaysia (we moved here in 2024), and we’ve been travelling as a family to off-the-beaten track destinations ever since the boys were born.

Our ‘big’ trips include:

living in India for a year
trekking the Himalayas
101 days traversing Africa in a Land Rover
a full summer of Bongo vanlife in France
slow travelling and living in Morocco for 4 months
10 weeks backpacking Southeast Asia

But whilst we love off-the-beaten-track adventures, we also love European city breaks and occasionally treating ourselves to a bit of luxury (check out our review of Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi ).

TraveLynn Family was established in 2016 and has grown to be one of the top family travel blogs in the UK, receiving over 85k page views per month to this website and with an engaged following of over 23k on Instagram.

Our style of travel

Travel for us isn’t a once-in-a-lifetime experience, nor have we sold up and hit the road fulltime, homeschooling our kids. In fact, our boys love their school, their friends and their clubs, and us parents need the childcare of school to be able to work. But travel is a huge part of our lives and we embrace the philosophy of worldschooling .

Since the boys were born, we have found ways to travel as much as possible; living overseas, saving funds and quitting jobs, deregistering our boys from UK school , creating remote work, and of course, learning the tricks and rewards of budget family travel … we’ve learned to be quite creative!

Do we homeschool when we travel? Oh no. Lockdowns sucked any ability we ever had to homeschool our kids. Online learning works brilliantly for us! You can read about our approach to online schooling here .

Our longer adventures allow us to embrace slow family travel . Rather than jumping from one place to another to cram as much as possible in, we are happy to spend weeks (and sometimes months) in the one country. This is a deeper travel, a more rewarding travel, where the natural daily routines of staying in the one place for a big chunk of time allows you to feel part of the local community. It’s also a much cheaper way to travel as you’re money goes further.

Our current travel plans

2023 was quite a year for travel, with our main adventure being the 10 weeks backpacking Southeast Asia (which included Thailand , Cambodia , Malaysia , Singapore ). For this, the boys were deregistered from school and Jay took unpaid parental leave .

Click here for our full roundup of travel in 2023.

And as for 2024? Well so far there have been trips to Essaouira, Morocco , and Bucharest, Romania . And in April we moved to Penang, Malaysia ! We’ve been granted digital nomad visas and found the boys a lovely school. We’re so excited about this new adventure!

Hi. We are Andrzej & Jolene.

Welcome to our family travel blog.

15 Tips to Make Traveling With Family More Fun & Less Stressful

Posted: July 4, 2023 | Last updated: July 4, 2023

<p> Traveling with your brood is the time to make memories. Sure, you will encounter moments where you start to question why you ever leave the house in the first place, but ideally you should enjoy the experience as much as your children. Smart and useful family travel tips can make all the difference between a grueling and exhaustive excursion and a wonderful, relaxing getaway. </p>

Traveling with your brood is the time to make memories. Sure, you will encounter moments where you start to question why you ever leave the house in the first place, but ideally you should enjoy the experience as much as your children. Smart and useful family travel tips can make all the difference between a grueling and exhaustive excursion and a wonderful, relaxing getaway.

<p> For medical advice, you seek out a doctor. For educational advice, you turn to teachers. For family travel advice, head straight for the moms. They are the experts who know what works and what doesn't when it comes to setting out on adventures with kids in tow. They have tried it all, discovered the best family travel hacks, and have zero qualms about sharing their experiences with other moms ready to embark on trips with kiddos. </p> <p> Debbie Dubrow is one of those "traveling moms" who has spent much of her children's lives packing up suitcases, loading up kids, and setting out to see the world. The Seattle-based mother of three shares her personal travel stories and best family travel tips with other parents ready to hit the road on her blog, <a href="http://www.deliciousbaby.com/">Delicious Baby</a>. </p>

For Expert Family Travel Advice: Go Straight to the Source

For medical advice, you seek out a doctor. For educational advice, you turn to teachers. For family travel advice, head straight for the moms. They are the experts who know what works and what doesn't when it comes to setting out on adventures with kids in tow. They have tried it all, discovered the best family travel hacks, and have zero qualms about sharing their experiences with other moms ready to embark on trips with kiddos.

Debbie Dubrow is one of those "traveling moms" who has spent much of her children's lives packing up suitcases, loading up kids, and setting out to see the world. The Seattle-based mother of three shares her personal travel stories and best family travel tips with other parents ready to hit the road on her blog, Delicious Baby .

<p> If you are new to the idea of traveling with children, Dubrow suggests you start small. Take your family on a smaller, local day trip and test drive your tips and hacks while being close enough to home to pull the trigger and abort the mission if necessary. Don't become discouraged if your first few local expeditions are a flop. Reflect on what worked and what didn't, make adjustments and try it again! A few trips to nearby locales will help build your confidence so you can easily transition into bigger getaways soon enough. Dubrow offers, "Most parents are pleasantly surprised to find that their worst-case-scenarios don't come true, and that they even enjoy the experience." </p>

Beginner Traveler? Start Small

If you are new to the idea of traveling with children, Dubrow suggests you start small. Take your family on a smaller, local day trip and test drive your tips and hacks while being close enough to home to pull the trigger and abort the mission if necessary. Don't become discouraged if your first few local expeditions are a flop. Reflect on what worked and what didn't, make adjustments and try it again! A few trips to nearby locales will help build your confidence so you can easily transition into bigger getaways soon enough. Dubrow offers, "Most parents are pleasantly surprised to find that their worst-case-scenarios don't come true, and that they even enjoy the experience."

<p> Once upon a time, you packed a bag, bought a plane ticket on the fly, and ventured out to see the world. Now that you have kids, and kids have needs, and spontaneity is as distant a memory as sleep is, you'll want to spend extra time in the <a href="https://www.lovetoknow.com/life/lifestyle/how-plan-memorable-family-vacation" title="How to Plan a Family Vacation You'll Never Forget">planning stages of the trip</a>. The more work you put in on the front end, the less thinking you will have to do once vacation begins. </p>

Pay Extra Attention to Planning

Once upon a time, you packed a bag, bought a plane ticket on the fly, and ventured out to see the world. Now that you have kids, and kids have needs, and spontaneity is as distant a memory as sleep is, you'll want to spend extra time in the planning stages of the trip . The more work you put in on the front end, the less thinking you will have to do once vacation begins.

<p> Vacationing with kids can get pricey, so work within a previously agreed-upon budget when planning your next getaway. Letting expenses get away from you will instantly create stress, so staying in the anticipated price range will make it easier for you to relax and enjoy. Anticipate and plan for a few unexpected expenses too. </p>

Work Within a Budget

Vacationing with kids can get pricey, so work within a previously agreed-upon budget when planning your next getaway. Letting expenses get away from you will instantly create stress, so staying in the anticipated price range will make it easier for you to relax and enjoy. Anticipate and plan for a few unexpected expenses too.

<p> There are plenty of ways to cut corners and save a dollar during travel, but if you are vacationing with several children or young children, your lodging accommodations should not be one of them. Your days will be long and action-packed, so your home base needs to be a space of reprieve, your little temporary sanctuary. </p> <p> Find a family-friendly hotel or rented home that fits most of your family's needs. If you are traveling somewhere hot, be sure there is air conditioning or working fans in your accommodation. If you will need to do laundry, check and see if those facilities are on property or nearby. Look into whether the room or rental is baby-proofed and whether it has a mini-fridge and microwave for all of those snacking needs. </p> <p> It is a good idea to make a room "wish list" and then scour the net and read reviews to see which accommodation best suits you (and your budget!). There will undoubtedly be a few accommodation must-haves when traveling with children that you don't want to compromise on. Know what they are and make sure they are available to you before booking. </p>

Spend Time Scoring the Right Accommodations

There are plenty of ways to cut corners and save a dollar during travel, but if you are vacationing with several children or young children, your lodging accommodations should not be one of them. Your days will be long and action-packed, so your home base needs to be a space of reprieve, your little temporary sanctuary.

Find a family-friendly hotel or rented home that fits most of your family's needs. If you are traveling somewhere hot, be sure there is air conditioning or working fans in your accommodation.

There will undoubtedly be a few accommodation must-haves when traveling with children that you don't want to compromise on. Know what they are and make sure they are available to you before booking.

<p> Another tip Dubrow emphasizes to parents taking the travel plunge is to adjust the travel pace to best suit their children. Kids find joy in the most minor of details, so allow them to experience these travel days at their leisure. You might be used to packing in eight to ten hours of sights in a big city, but should you try to apply the vacationing pace of yesteryear to travel with kids, you are likely going to fizzle out fast. Dubrow elaborates, "Avoid trying to go at the same pace you did before you had children. Slow down and give your baby or toddler time to enjoy things at their level.

Think about if it will be of interest to them and if they will be able to make it through whatever it is you are hoping to do on vacation. Build in plenty of snack breaks or a mid-day siesta or rest period, so children don't become overly tired, cranky, and downright miserable. Pack your patience-pants, as this new, slower pace of seeing the world might be a bit of an adjustment for you. </p>

Adjust Your Travel Pace

Another tip Dubrow emphasizes to parents taking the travel plunge is to adjust the travel pace to best suit their children. Kids find joy in the most minor of details, so allow them to experience these travel days at their leisure. You might be used to packing in eight to ten hours of sights in a big city, but should you try to apply the vacationing pace of yesteryear to travel with kids, you are likely going to fizzle out fast. Dubrow elaborates, "Avoid trying to go at the same pace you did before you had children. Slow down and give your baby or toddler time to enjoy things at their level. They might be looking at the marble floors in the Vatican instead of the arches and artwork, and that is OK."

<p> Throughout her journeys, Dubrow discovered the power of snacks. Snacks can pretty much fix anything at a moment's notice, and you don't want to be without them. Pack items that are easy to eat while on the go and make sure they aren't loaded with sugar. Choose grain or protein-based items to give kids energy without the dreaded sugar crash looming ahead. She also reminds parents that airplanes no longer provide the delectables of days past. Small snacks and beverages are typically offered, but if you have picky eaters or children with specific dietary needs, pack plenty of your own nibbles for a lengthy flight. </p>

<p> If you are flying or planning to leave your home country, be sure that all pertinent travel documents are ready and in order. Large families mean lots of passports, boarding passes and more. Sort and organize what you can. Place a small sticky note with family members' initials on the back of all passports and slip boarding passes into them. Place a rubber band around each travel packet, so when a name is called upon, you can quickly grab the documents you need in the moment. </p> <p> For <a href="https://www.lovetoknow.com/life/lifestyle/how-get-passports-your-kids" title="How to Get Passports for Your Kids">families needing to get passports</a>, be sure that you do so well ahead of time to receive them before you leave for your trip.

Get Travel Paperwork in Order

For families needing to get passports , be sure that you do so well ahead of time to receive them before you leave for your trip. Obtaining passports can be tedious, and nothing will ruin a family vacation faster than one family member being left without proper travel documentation.

<p> When it comes to vacation, you want to think about lounging around a pool or hiking through breathtaking forests... not about losing track of your kid! Not being able to locate your child is every parent's worst nightmare, and while it is something you don't even want to contemplate, it is best to have a plan in place for this type of emergency. Sit your kids down and discuss the plan for if someone becomes lost or strays from the group during travel. Older kids should have the means to contact parents, or at the very least know their parents' phone numbers. Write parents' names, kids' names, and contact numbers inside a shoe for little children. Be sure everyone understands how to get help in the event that they find themselves alone in a foreign space. </p>

Be Prepared for Every Eventuality When Flying With Kids

Imagine being stuffed in a small airplane with a crying child who is bored to tears or covered head to toe in apple juice (or worse) and still having several hours of air travel to go. That's the stuff nightmares are made of, and a bit of thought and preparation in this department can make all the difference. Aside from packing drinks and snacks on a flight, be sure to pack several entertainment options for kids. Great ideas are:

Coloring books and crayons
Electronic devices
Games galore - both word games and paper games
Downloaded movies and shows
Comfort toys

Aside from entertainment options, you will want to pack a change of clothes in your carry-on. The only thing worse than having a kid get sick or have an accident while flying the friendly skies is having nothing to change them into. Toss the following into your carry-on so you are never left high and dry (or rather high and soaking wet).

Extra undies, pants, and shirt
Lots of disinfectant wipes and a small towel
Pajamas if you are traveling long distances through the night
A plastic, sealable bag for soiled clothing
Remember to pack a first aid kit and a car seat for plane and car travel

<p> Packing for a fun family trip comes with a bit of a learning curve unless you know how to do it properly right out of the gate! Parents tend to pack in one of two ways: overpacking and underpacking. They either take along everything they can think of and then curse themselves throughout the entire trip for spending more time acting as a family pack mule than enjoying a well-deserved vacation, or they bring next to nothing and spend more time scouring the earth for those forgotten necessities than they do relaxing. </p> <p> You want to strike a packing balance. Try making a list of things you need several weeks before you depart. Next, revisit your list and remove items you think you can live without. Add a few new items that you skipped over the first time around. Consider what items your accommodations might have readily available. Many rental spaces have cribs, cots, and even high chairs for families to borrow, meaning you don't have to lug that stuff with you. If your accommodations have easily accessible laundry facilities, then pack half the clothes you originally planned on taking and spend a few hours mid-vacation doing laundry (maybe while the tots take an afternoon nap). </p>

<p> If you are flying with little ones, you might want to schedule your flight during nap time or during the evening hours. This is particularly important if you have a long journey ahead of you. A few hours of snooze time can make all the difference to a family stuck in the air for several hours. Furthermore, pay attention to your layover times. It is much harder to rush through a busy airport to catch a connecting flight with three kids, two strollers, and several carry-on bags in hand. </p>

<p> Planning is a beautiful thing, but so is flexibility. Again, balance is the key to travel happiness, especially when kids are involved. Yes, you want the major details hammered out before you take off for fun and adventure, but you also need to remember that things happen, plans unravel, and you need to be able to pivot, recover and carry on. Expect some bumps in the road, know when to make alterations in vacation plans to suit everyone's needs, and let go of any preconceived notions that every minute of the trip will be downright magical. </p>

<p> Sure, this is vacation, and routines will vary simply due to the nature of the beast, but travel doesn't have to mean nixing all <a href="https://www.lovetoknow.com/parenting/kids/free-bedtime-routine-charts-master-all-must-dos" title="Free Bedtime Routine Charts to Master All the Must-Dos">routines</a> and structure. Kids thrive on the routines you have created for them. They help keep them safe and healthy. While plenty of routine aspects will shift during travel, keep the ones you can in place. Try to eat and sleep near the times you would typically eat and sleep at home. If you do a daily rest or nap time, see if you can swing that same routine while vacationing. If you throw the kids completely out of whack, you will soon learn that a no-rules vacation is a no-fun vacation for parents. </p>

Don't Forego Routine

<p> Rules. Kids don't love them, but they are necessary on so many levels. Traveling with kids means taking the littles past countless souvenir and trinket stations and stores. Get ready for your children to beg you for every little, shiny piece of whatever catches their eye. They will cry and whine for everything they see; you will stress and maybe cry a little too as you attempt to stay calm while explaining that no, they cannot have another Beanie Boo. </p> <p> Set rules for souvenirs ahead of time. Maybe they get one small thing at the airport and one thing at your vacation destination. Maybe you give each kid an allotted amount of spending money and how and where they spend it is up to them.

<p> Lastly, don't put off your travel plans because you are afraid of failure. Yes, everyone will be older and wiser in a few years, but life happens, circumstances constantly change, and you never know if this travel opportunity will circle back around. Take those vacations with the little kids or the angsty teens. Make the memories, spend the money, and know that the kids won't be kids forever. Remember, parts of your vacation may flop, but other parts will be amazing. In the end, you will likely be so glad you went for it and traveled with your kids. </p>

2025 Greek Isles Cruises: Discover Santorini, Naples & Mykonos

The Greek Isles is one of the world's most popular cruise destinations for a reason. There's truly something for every type of traveler in the Greek Isles , whether you're on a romantic getaway, a memorable family vacation, or an adventure all on your own. When you cruise the Greek Isles with Norwegian Cruise Line, you'll stop in some of the most beautiful and historical ports in the world.

Let's take a look at some of the exciting destinations and ports you can visit when you book a Greek Isles cruise in 2025 with Norwegian.

Ready to start planning? Explore all Greek Isles cruises .

Ruins of Venetian castle in Naoussa, Paros Island, Greece

Explore Greece with Norwegian

With crystal-clear waters and bright blue rooftops, you'll recognize the majesty of Santorini as soon as you arrive. This port offers countless chances to take in the splendor of the Greek Isles, from guided walking tours to cable car rides. After you explore the city, you can relax on a stunning beach or stroll along the remnants of a volcanic eruption.

Another breathtaking port in the Greek Isles is Rhodes , nestled right off the coast of Turkey. Home to an ancient acropolis and playfully colorful buildings, Rhodes will leave you wondering if you've walked into a storybook. You can even get up close and personal with one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Colossus of Rhodes, making for an unmissable photo opportunity.

One of the richest centers of history and culture in the world is Athens (Piraeus) , another stop on many of Norwegian's Greek Isles cruises. At this port, you'll explore the Greek capital, home to countless historical landmarks, such as the Acropolis, the Olympian temple, and the Parthenon. When you're not traversing the ancient streets or taking in the culture at one of the city's museums, you can stop for local cuisine and shop for souvenirs from native artisans.

See Mykonos, Corfu & Crete

If you've heard of the Greek Isles before, you're likely already familiar with the spectacular city of Mykonos . This port of call is a vacationer's paradise, with stretches of soft, sandy beaches where you can recline in the Mediterranean sun. You'll even find dance clubs and bars on some of the beaches, so you can stay out on the coast all night long. There are also opportunities for off-road excursions that take you into the countryside and near some of Greece's most impactful sights, including ancient ruins and historical roads.

Lush green tree canopies and vibrant blue waters await you in the port of Corfu . You can feel the influence of ancient Venetians throughout the city, with ornate facades, marble statues, and looming columns that make you feel like you're in Rome. Fans of Greek mythology will be especially excited by Corfu's ties to Greek history and folklore, as the city is rumored to be the very Island of Scheria from Homer's Odyssey.

For a taste of life on the largest Greek island, you can visit the port of Heraklion (Crete) . You'll be greeted by quaint stone beaches with gorgeous views of the sea, as well as ruins from ancient times throughout the city. With architecture from the 13th century, you can see marvels such as Venetian-style buildings and the Minoan palace of Knossos, famed for its housing of the Minotaur in Greek mythology.

Explore Turkey on a Greek Isles Cruise

You'll see more than Greece on a Greek Isles cruise with Norwegian, as many voyages stop in Turkey, another of the region's most historically rich areas. In the port of Kusadasi , for example, you can walk the same streets as ancient Greek residents once did and visit several ruins and excavation sites from archeological digs. Other can't-miss sites in Kusadasi include the ruins of the Roman Library of Celsus, the Basilica of St. John, and the rebuilt Temple of Artemis.

Another popular stop for cruisers in Turkey is Istanbul , a wonderland of fashion, culture, and art. Here, you can take in all the rich history of Turkey by visiting ancient monuments and mosques with intricate facades, such as the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. With tulips being a symbol of the city, it's no surprise that you'll find gorgeous tulip blooms in the city's many gardens.

See the Pyramids in Egypt

Just a short sail away from Greece is Egypt, which is home to several ports that you can visit with Norwegian. One of the most exciting ports in Egypt is Alexandria , as it has an incredibly significant history, having been founded in 332 B.C. There are countless historical sights to see, including ancient ruins, ornate tombs, and what's left of the Great Library of Alexandria. You can even brave the Catacombs of Kom al-Shoqafa that run underneath the city's streets if you're looking for an adventure.

You'll also get the chance to visit Port Said on some Greek Isles cruises, a colorful city that was founded in 1859. Right along the Suez Canal, this city gives you the chance to see some of Egypt's most famous historical landmarks after a short drive, such as the Great Sphinx and the Great Pyramids of Giza, including the Great Pyramid of Khufu, which is the oldest member of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

If you're in the mood for a walking tour, you can take one all around Cairo and learn even more about Egypt's history. There's also the Khan el-Khalili bazaar, where you can shop for souvenirs, such as gemstones, leather goods, and spices.

Full-size bunks in the rear keep children and guests comfortable and provide space between sleeping areas. There’s also a fold-down dinette if you need additional sleeping space and a shower with a tub, which is a feature not found in many RVs.

There are indoor and outdoor entertainment center hookups, so you never have to worry about anyone missing out on the fun. The Grey Wolf saves space so you can focus on making the most of the quality time spent with your family on the road.

Jayco Jay Flight SLX 224BH

Dry Weight: 4,480 pounds
Hitch Weight: 460 pounds
Length: 27’1″
Sleeping Capacity: Up to 8

The Jay Flight SLX 224BH is a fantastic family unit thanks to its ample sleeping space, spacious bathroom, plenty of storage, camp-side kitchen, and large dinette for family meals.

A curtain divider pulls across to separate the master bedroom from the rest of the trailer. This floorplan offers a little more privacy than many other small campers .

There’s also an outside kitchen that helps keep the kids outside, so you don’t constantly have to clean the RV floor daily. This is another travel trailer under 5000 lbs., meaning you should be able to tow it with various vehicles.

Shop Jay Flight SLX 224BH RVs or explore Jayco’s entire RV lineup .

Crossroads Zinger-Lite 18BH

Dry Weight: 3,362 pounds
Hitch Weight: 426 pounds
Length: 21′
Height (w/ AC): 9’7″

Another good family camper under 5000 lbs. is the Crossroad Zinger 18BH . This high-quality trailer has a camp-side kitchen, a dinette, bunk beds at the rear, and a queen bed at the front. It’s one of the more compact trailers on this list, but that makes it one of the lightest.

It’s prepped for a backup camera, which makes it easier to back into a campsite . If you’re looking for a trailer that can handle extended boondocking stays, it’s also ready for a solar installation.

The Zinger’s construction includes an aerodynamic front end and a rear bumper that’s perfect for securing one of the best bike racks for RVs . Plus, you’ll have the option of adding insulation if you’re interested in extending your camping season.

How to Choose the Best Family Travel Trailer for You

These small trailers are all about maximizing sleeping space for family RVing. You won’t get a king-size bed or theater seating like you might find in some of the best luxury fifth wheels . But you will get a comfortable camper at a much more affordable price.

Here are a few more resources to guide you as you continue your search for the perfect family travel trailer:

How to Properly Load Your Travel Trailer

We hope these trailers and resources help you find the right camper for your family. Regardless of which RV you decide to hit the road with (and at which price point), the memories you make with your family will undoubtedly be priceless.

I really appreciate the detailed comparisons in this post! We’re looking for a new trailer for our family vacations and this list has given us some great options to consider. The weight range is perfect for our current vehicle, and it’s helpful to see the pros and cons of each trailer. Thanks for the helpful information!

You are most welcome!

Which were your top choices after reading?

Most travel trailers have an average dry weight of 5,000 pounds. Dry weight refers to the trailer’s weight without any additional gear or items.

Hope that helps!

Absolutely, hands down the Lance 1995. A very practical high-end RV with so many practical extras !

Forest River R-Pod is an excellent travel trailer

Not the R-Pod 202…tons of interior storage with the new layout.

Marc, what one do you think is a good option?

R-pod is WAY too narrow. Lacks storage space.
