I have 2 teenagers now and we travel. We travel a lot, it's our business and our joy and taking my teens to new places is my favourite thing to do. However, teens have a bad reputation in some circles as not the best travellers. We've not had any issues while travelling with teens so I think I should share a few tips, hacks and ideas for those of you wondering how to travel … [Read more...]
Problems of Travelling With Kids
Problems of travelling with kids, oh yes, there are a few. Some consider them major problems, others, tiny inconveniences outweighed by rainbow benefits. We are firmly in the second group or we wouldn't be doing this crazy non-stop travel thing. We did it for 6 years, full time, maybe we're nuts. A reader asked me to write this post a long time ago, thanks Kellie, sorry … [Read more...]
World Schooling a 15 Year Old Teenager

It worked out well for all of us and we want to help you find your own paths in alternative education. Every now and then I create a blog post on how world schooling changes with time and age. 15 years old was a good age for us, a lot changed for my young teens … [Read more...]

Nepal with Kids-Altitude, Attitude and Ailments.
If I told you Nepal with kids was easy, I'd be lying. Nepal has been the most challenging place we've ever taken the children, and that includes India, but it's been worth it 1 million times over. They got sick less in India and didn't have to climb any mountains. So here for you, in case you're as crazy as us, is our run down on why Nepal with kids is the best of ideas, and … [Read more...]
Romanian Christmas Traditions
I miss it so much, our village in the far north of Romania. We spent 3 wonderful Christmases there surrounded by winter and Christmas festivities and traditions. We were tourists or expats, barely able to speak the language and with no grasp at all of Romanian Christmas traditions, but we were there to take photos and to show you what life in Romania was like in the depth of … [Read more...]

Bangkok to Chiang Mai. Train, Bus, Fly ?
A favourite part of any trip to Thailand, the Bangkok to Chiang Mai journey, is to be enjoyed not endured. Chiang Mai itself is a fantastic destination, cheap, relaxed and very different to Bangkok. We highly recommend a trip to this part of northern Thailand and exploring further into the mountains if possible. There are multiple ways of getting to Chiang Mai from Bangkok, … [Read more...]
