All in Traveling with Littlies
I’m that crazy Mom that keeps track of all our children’s flights and to date, Noah has been on 96 flights already, and Kaia on 45 (most of which have been long haul international flights). Although it’s definitely more the norm to ‘slow down’ with traveling once you have children (sane/clever parents do that!), we seem to have done the opposite after becoming parents.
Kandui Resort, located in the beautiful Mentawais Islands off West Sumatra in Indonesia, is every surfer’s dream. One of the most remote places I’ve ever been to and, also one of the most beautiful. We have been dreaming about coming here for many years and we not only finally made it happen, but made it happen with 10 of our closest friends.
I looked up a few classes I wanted to trial with Noah, I wrote down the most recommended parks, looked up kinder-cafes, of course the best restaurants, cafes, and bakeries, and most importantly, I searched high and low for the absolute best playgrounds. Fun fact: There are about 1,805 public playgrounds in Berlin, a city of nearly four million inhabitants, of which about half a million are under 18. Statistically, this is a fantastic ratio and visually its apparent everywhere. Playgrounds pop up like wildflowers in this city and seem to fill every empty spot there is. But quantity is not what makes Berlin a playground paradise.
A very practical entry detailing the essentials that always get packed whenever we travel with our little person.
All about jet lags and time zones, travel cots and travel strollers, transportation once arrived and where to stay, as well as other tips for when you reach your destination!
All about take off and landing, bassinets and breastfeeding, diapers, food, toys, entertainment throughout the flight and more!
We did a total of 28 flights and 5 continents in Noah’s first 12 months! Some may think we are absolutely crazy, and maybe we are, but I wouldn’t have done it any other way. Needless to say, I feel that I’ve picked up a few tips and tricks along the way which I’m excited to share with you.
Here's to sunsets, sandy, salty kisses, quesadillas, tan lines, tacos, being a complete lightweight when it comes to margaritas, lazy afternoons, laughing at our silly little toddler, feeling re-energized emotionally (not necessarily physically - hah), feeling blessed, happy and thankful.
