Travelling with Kids – Adventure isn't just about the plane trips!
My children have an abundance of opportunity compared to the generations before them. They have numerous LEGO sets, more that one pair of sneakers, they have three meals a day and they have plenty of time to enjoy their childhood, sheltered from the reality of the adult world. Could they really want for more? Most of my …
Travelling while menstruating is something that most mums need to deal with and, later on, their tween and teenage daughters. As one such mother, I recently went on the hunt for a solution to the juggling act that is menstruating while travelling and found, what I think is, the best period undies for travelling here …
My mum was the primary audience for the Kid Bucket List when we hit publish on our very first blog post. We could never have imagined that we would be working with some of our favourite travel brands and attractions a few years later nor that our audience would span the world and reach over …
Travelling with kids is an amazing adventure which parents love to capture on film so they can recall those memories later on. When we first started travelling with the kids, I would cart my DSLR camera around with us. It was quite cumbersome and often got in the way, bashing me in the hip when …
One of the best ways to see Australia is by car. My kids have been quite familiar with this version of a family travel adventure since they were babies with our family farm being a far distance from any public transport hubs.

“Oh Leah!!! How the heck do you afford all of this! Do tell! I’m willing to do anything!” was a comment left on our Facebook page recently which made me think, you really do want to know how do we afford to travel. I hope this helps. Priorities The two biggest expenses most households have is there …
Travelling doesn’t mean that your personal hygiene routines need to change all that much when you shift between hotels or during a long haul flight. Even when you can’t grab a shower, simply brushing your teeth can perk you up and make you feel cleaner. It’s for this reason that I always pack our toothbrushes …
You’re back from an amazing trip, some would say a trip of a life time. The kids have returned to school. Your savings account is starting to build up again ready for your next trip. You’re excited about all the adventures you experienced with the kids and can’t wait to share them on your blog. You have …

As a result, when families request a few accommodations or …
To be considered a serious travel blogger there is a perception by some that you need to give up work, sell up and hit the road to be truly great. If this is the criteria, I should give up now. But I’m challenging that idea. I’m reframing my thoughts. Whilst travel is one of my …
With my iPhone becoming an extension of self most days, I do find myself utilising its portability to research for our next travel adventure whenever everyone else around me is engrossed in an activity. These little snatches of time often lead to some great travel bargains. Having utilised Webjet.com.au in the past for bookings, I …
The Australian language is a funny thing. Born from a concoction of mixed accents from our European migrants, often visitors have trouble deciphering what us Aussies are saying. We talk fast, often using words that contradict the actual meaning. Yeah could mean no. To make it easier for your trip to our great Southern land, I’ve …
There is no hiding the fact that our little family loves to travel. We try to catch an adventure most weekends and fill our holiday periods with road trips, staycations (that’s a new buzz word 😉 ) and flying trips when we can. I’ve noticed that we are being approached more and more by other …
