Toys

When you travel with children you might think you need to pack a whole lot of toys. Fear not, traveling lightly is not something you have to stop doing! We have brought with us the following items on our travels: one or two books crayons and a block of paper downloaded games/videos for tablet/phone Other...

Tchau Koh Tao

I have previously mentioned our only disappointing experience traveling with Maya, our trip to Koh Tao in Thailand. This is a short blog post on exactly why that is: Firstly, we had really enjoyed ourselves in Koh Samui the previous week. We had found a Muay Thai personal trainer that we enjoyed training with, the...

Canary Islands again: this time with a toddler

For Christmas and New Years we went to Fuerteventura, and this time Maya was one and a half years old. For this trip we were lucky enough to have brought my mother along, the idea being that we could go out and have some fun together without Maya. We ended up not going out a...

Thailand with a toddler

When we went to Thailand Maya wasn't really a toddler. She didn't actually walk yet, but took her first few steps in Thailand. Anyways, I just thought the title looked nicer like this, but she might actually still have been more of a baby. Our first encounter with Thailand was landing in Bangkok after a...

Packing

A post exclusively about packing! We have tried a lot of variants when packing, and I have found that different kinds of trips call for different compositions when packing. Also, the child's age and activity level will dictate a lot of what you will need or not. We tried to travel both with heaps of...

Mummy and Maya on the Canary Islands

When Maya was 8 months old we spent a week in Tenerife with friends. We kinda went on a whim and didn’t plan much, but neither did we have to. On this trip I decided to bring a stroller as she was in a period of her life where she was used to sleeping in one....

Brazil with a 4-6 month old

We spent six weeks in Brazil when Maya was 4-6 months old. As my husband is from Brazil, going there during the first few months of Maya’s existence wasn’t something we even thought twice about. There were a few things we were worried about initially, like vaccinations and fluids, but all health personnel we talked...

Paris with a 10 month old

Sightseeing and almost romantic dinners with a 10 month old proved no problem, as we spent five days to celebrate our sixth wedding anniversary in France's romantic capital. We decided to go for the super light alternative without a stroller and only one baby carrier each. We don’t really use a stroller much at home, so...

Southeast Asia with a 1-year old

We traveled Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam for a little bit of everything as Maya turned one. This trip was five weeks long and covered three countries so it requires some breaking down to readable pieces. I’ll do that soon, but first I’m writing this blog post with an overview of our trip. If you have...

Common concerns when traveling with a baby

"Traveling with a baby? That must be hard!" - this is something we often hear, and our response is almost always "no!", paired with a smile.We often look at younger (or at least single or childless) people and think "partying all night and sightseeing the next day? Now that must be hard!". I'll admit that...
