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.

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.

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 (ages 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.

Travelling Bambino’s

We started as two very passionate travelers whose love for seeking the outdoors, adventures, culture integration, amazing experiences, and discoveries brought us together as a couple. Years later our couple became a family of 4. And so long as we remember we have always strived to organise our itineraries, and now we are also sharing them here.

We have lived in over 8 countries between us including the UK, US, India, Sweden, France, Germany, Indonesia, and Spain, and traveled to over 40 countries. In 2019 we decided to leave France and set out on a very spontaneous World Adventure with our little kids to cover Australia, Bali, Singapore, Fiji, and a solo trip to India. For us, this experience holds so much importance to how we want our lives to be shaped. It was not all plain sailing but the memories we shared as a family will forever be engraved on us.

Wanderlust crew

We are a family of 6 traveling the world. We began our journey somewhat by accident after attempting to settle down and buy a house like normal people. In a whirlwind of events and after plans A through Y fell through, we decided we were being guided to pursue our dream of traveling the world with our family.

Plan Z (which was really always plan A in our dreams) finally feels right! We’re so glad you can follow along with us and witness our adventures from the mundane to the insane!

The Family Voyage

Melissa is a 30-something wife to Ronnie and a mom to Jacob and Shoshana. Born in Virginia, she spent almost half of her life in sunny Los Angeles. Since returning from their two-year family gap, they have relocated to Ohio, where she now works full-time on their website. She often jokes that one day she’ll catch up on documenting all the places they’ve been! In a previous chapter of her life, she spent several years studying the weather on Mars (no joke!) and then a decade as a trader and analyst in the financial sector. Known as the most serious person in their family, she carries around a head full of random, useless information (just ask her friends!).

Ronnie, an LA native, is slowly adjusting to life in the Midwest. He got his first real taste of travel during a semester abroad in Vienna, which he chose partly for its easy access to the rest of Europe. Local food and drink provide a lens for his travel experiences. Ronnie works in the non-profit world and brings so much heart to their family. Known as the class clown, his humor has definitely rubbed off on their kids.

Their son Jacob got his first taste of travel at 3 months old when he visited Arizona and Hawaii within a month. His favorite destination so far has been Thailand. At home, he usually keeps busy building LEGO or working on art projects. Like his dad, Jacob is a total joker and loves to get a laugh out of people.

Shoshana joined the family almost three years later and got her first passport stamps at 3 months when they visited Germany and the Netherlands. From the day she was born, it was clear she was a peaceful, easy-going kid. She doesn’t care where they go as long as the four of them are together. She loves engaging in imaginative play with any of her 387 stuffed animals and snuggling, whether with her family or her stuffed “friends,” as she calls them. Her favorite place to visit is Rome – because of the pizza and gelato every day.

Our Overseas Adventures

We’re a Canadian family of four who love 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.

Global Munchkins

I’m Amber, the voice behind the words and stories of my large adoptive family (more on that in a minute). First things first… I want YOU to know that we could not be happier that YOU are here.

What started almost a decade ago as a way for this lonely, stay-at-home, travel-obsessed mama to connect with other like-minded women has turned into a crazy supportive community/ family business- and we couldn’t be more grateful.

Kids are a trip

After traveling as a family for 20 years, we know a thing or two about exploring the world with kids. We have learned how to find those off-the-beaten-path experiences while still finding time to explore the popular attractions. As travelers, we are adventurous explorers by day, trying everything from whitewater rafting to hiking ancient ruins. At night we enjoy a comfortable place to rest our heads and are happy to cook in an apartment using ingredients from the local market or stay at a resort where someone else does the cooking. We are passionate about educating our kids through travel and using it as an opportunity to unplug from daily life and connect with each other and the world around us. Kids Are A Trip is committed to sharing travel inspiration for families who want to explore beyond their backyards.

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 .

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!

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.

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.

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 dollars 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.

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 .

Ciao Bambino

Ciao Bambino was born out of my desire to continue living a travel-filled life even after becoming a parent. I had thought that the yearlong travel sabbatical my husband and I took in 2001 would satisfy my travel bug, allowing me to happily settle down in one place and start a family. I should have known better; my last hurrah before motherhood only intensified my desire to see more of the world. Little did I know at that time the joys that traveling as a family would bring. Ultimately, the mission of the company expanded from simply enabling travel to inspiring meaningful travel experiences for all ages and stages.

I began building Ciao Bambino! in late 2003, after an extensive search for credible resources that provided family-focused travel advice, age-appropriate direction, and useful accommodation information. The company’s focus was, and still is, on answering key questions for traveling families, such as: What destinations work best for different ages? Which hotels offer the best family-friendly room configurations? What age-appropriate activities are the most memorable and fun? How can families best engage with their experiences while bonding with one another?

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

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.

Summary of family travel blogs to follow in 2023

1 the backpacking family.

“Life is for loving”

Homepage: The Backpacking Family

Travel style: Adventure travel, itineraries, unique place to stay and flying with kids

Authority: UK and Southeast Asia

Ok, let’s take a moment to shamelessly introduce ourselves before we roll on. We are a full time travel family who run a YouTube channel and this rather lovely family travel website.  Our name  ‘The Backpacking family’ captures our travel style in that we love learning about the world through exploring.  From sleeping under the stars to living it up in 5 stars, we love all life has to offer.  Adventure brings us to life and helps us grow closer together as a family.  We love jumping into local culture through exploring lesser known destinations, spending time with locals and trying local food.

We’re a family of 5, Pete, Emma, Hudson, Darien and a new baby ready to make their debut soon.  And we travel full time as digital nomads and worldschool our children as we go. Family travel for us is about creating more space for quality family time together.  With 12 years of travel experience we have picked up a lot of epic and essential travel tips that we now share on our own family travel blog to help inspire and equip other families to experience more of the world.  Whether you’re travelling on budget or splashing out on a dream holiday, our blogs about family travel are packed with inspo and tips that help you see more of the world for less.

If you want to get to know each other more, our YouTube is where we share our greatest adventures and mishaps as we go.  If you want to up your travel game our family travel blog is expanding rapidly and is packed with the latest tips and inspo with a new blog up pretty much every day.  

2 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

“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!”

Looking for an innovative, creative and unique family travel blogs to follow? Check out The Travel Mum. As an ex-doctor Jen knows what hard work looks like. 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.”

This legend, mummy and family travel influencer has an epic website, a youtube channel and a super-successful TikTok. Hangry specializes in Australia, Japan and Southeast Asia. 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.”

The FUNemployed share their story

“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!”

8 The Jetsetting Family

“What if we didn’t really want to spend time at work away from the kids during their most formative years, just so we could accumulate savings that would allow us to buy our “dream home” years down the line, just in time for the kids to leave the house anyway?”

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.

Their blog, The Jetsetting Family, provides recaps of their adventures, family travel guides for various destinations, and tips & tricks for traveling with kids. They also host a weekly podcast highlighting must-visit places for families as well as chats with family travel experts and fellow adventurers. For those that are looking to learn how to get free and paid sponsored trips, they launched a digital course called “The Art of the Pitch,” where they share the strategies and techniques that they use to pitch collaborations with brands.

If there are last minute cancellations or no-shows they may just get seats to somewhere, anywhere! We love the spontaneity, adventure and freedom of this crazy travel style. You can also follow their epic adventures on their youtube channel.

This is what family in Standby say about their travels

“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. Part of the hope for this blog is to inspire other families nervous about planning a trip with kids (or maybe you already travel with kids, which is awesome!).”

“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.

We’re super excited to introduce this VERY cool and VERY inspirational family. Boston Tribe Travels are a family of four from the UK who are currently traveling the world full-time. They are on a mission to seek an adventurous life, chasing time, location and financial freedom, and educating themselves and their kids through the wonder of travel. Hat of to them!

Their blog started as a place to inspire other families to travel and help others plan their trip. Now, their website continues to evolve, as they aim to share their experience and skills with families considering chasing their own freedom.

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?) “

Y Travel Blog are one of the biggest family travel blogs around. Their influence and reach is very impressive. And for good reason. The Y travel blog have a super useful and VERY extensive website which aims to equip, inform and inspire. They also have an excellent section devoted to Online Business & and Travel Blogging tips. Here is some more of their story: 

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!

Since 2010, they’ve been blogging about their family’s global travel adventures, which has included an 18-month road trip around Australia and an 11-month USA RV trip.

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.”

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.

Wanderlust and Wet wipes bio 

“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.”

“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.”

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.”

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!

6 Better Phrases to Say Instead of ‘Be Careful’ When Kids Are Taking Risks

• your daily dose

• and connection

• Your daily dose

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 our recent stay at 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.

The year started with a couple of short trips to Essaouira, Morocco , and Bucharest, Romania , and then at the start of April we moved to Penang, Malaysia ! We’ve been granted digital nomad visas and the boys are attending a lovely international school on the island.

After a fantastic first term, we headed to Vietnam for the summer holidays and spent 45 days backpacking from HCMC to Saigon using sleeper buses, sleeper trains, and motorbikes. It was another epic trip and we’re currently in the process of writing up all our itineraries and tips for this blog, so watch this space.

A couple of small trips are planned for the last few months of the year where we’ll be exploring more of Malaysia.

Follow us on Instagram for regular updates of our travels.

Hi. We are Andrzej & Jolene

Welcome to our family travel blog.

In June 2015 we made a decision that changed our world as we knew it. We decided to create a life around our passion for travel. We love being family travel bloggers and typically go on at least 4 big family trips each year (this year we are taking a term off school to go traveling).

Family travel is fun! Sure travelling with kids might occasionally be challenging and it might sometimes test your patience (just like life at home would), but the rewards of family holidays far outweigh all those moments.

Looking for some amazing travel with kids blogs to follow this year? Look no further! I’ve compiled the ultimate list of family travel blogs that’s sure to inspire travel in your family.

Take a look at this list to find your favorite family travel blog that will inspire you to go out into the world.

Compiling a list of travel with kids blogs

As someone who writes about worldschooling and family travel, I love meeting other family travel bloggers. It’s fun to exchange travel stories with each other. And it’s also nice to see the world through their eyes. Even the same destination can be showcased in so many different ways among the various travel with kids blogs.

When it comes to travel, l feel like we need a bit of inspiration and encouragement in our lives. For those of us who love to travel with kids, finding new travel with kids blogs to follow is extremely helpful for our future travel planning.

As I talk with families during my travels, many of them ask for recommendations for family travel bloggers to follow. I always hesitate to answer. It’s not because I don’t know who to recommend. Rather, it’s because I know so many. It’s hard to pick and choose just one or two!

So I thought I’d compile a list of some of the travel with kids blogs (and vlogs too!) that I am currently following. They all bring a different perspective on the world. I hope they can help inspire families to achieve their family travel goals .

Seeking diversity within travel with kids blogs

It’s worth mentioning that this is not a typical round-up of family travel bloggers to follow. One of the biggest things I wanted to represent in this list of travel with kids blogs is diversity.

Blog round-ups often showcase mostly white bloggers and only a handful of bloggers from other ethnic backgrounds. But the reality of family travel is that it’s filled with diverse traveling families , from all ethnic groups and all backgrounds and abilities.

For this list, I wanted to specifically highlight families of color and multi-cultural families. I’ve showcased each of these families on my Instagram page, Brown Families Traveling . They’re showing the world that travel is possible, no matter what your skin color.

Why representation matters when it comes to travel with kids blogs

There aren’t always many stories told of people of color traveling in the world. From the current travel stories out there, written predominantly from a white perspective, you would think that travel is easy. But in reality, travelers of color and multi-cultural families can often face racism and discrimination when they’re traveling out in the world. 

At a minimal level, discrimination can be something benign like being constantly asked, “where are you really from?” And at worst, discrimination can mean being mistaken for a burglar by a neighbor of the Airbnb you’ve booked. 

As families who travel, no matter what race you are, you can work towards making the travel industry more representative and inclusive. Seek out and read stories from families of color. Make friends with families of color when you travel. And do the work to address your own personal biases.

Read this post for how to travel more responsibly and equitably as a family.

Ready for a change? Take the first step to living a life of full time travel.

Traveling the world as a family of color

Our family, personally, has had our share of racial slurs thrown at us while traveling in Europe. And we’ve also experienced plenty of micro-aggressions, like being ignored at a restaurant, while other diners with lighter skin tones receive service first, despite arriving after us. For families of color, the act of travel isn’t always a walk in the park.

Compounding this is the challenge of raising multi-cultural children. In a world where cultural and racial belonging contribute so much to our sense of identity, raising kids who straddle multiple cultures can pose challenges in how we talk about cultures.

If you’re interested in learning more about what it’s like to raise multi-cultural kids, buy Farzana Nayani’s book, Raising Multiracial Children: Tools for Nurturing Identity in a Racialized World.

The crux of the matter is that representation in family travel shows the world that it’s not just white families who travel. Showcasing traveling families of color shows other families of color that travel is possible for them.

My favorite travel with kids blogs to follow this year

For this blog post, each of these family travel bloggers shared with me either their reasons to travel with their kids, or why it’s important for families of color to travel in the world. While each answer is different, the main theme is the same: travel opens our eyes to new perspectives and helps us to become more open-minded.

For easier reading, I’ve organized this family travel blog list by type of travel. So you can skip ahead to the travelling with kids blog that fits your preferred style of travel.

My hope is that families of color and multi-cultural families become the new normal for the family travel media world. This space is big enough for all types of families!

To help us get to that point, here is my ultimate list of travel with kids blogs to follow this year. Check out their stories, and see if they resonate with you. And if you’re looking for more traveling families to follow, take a look at all the families I showcase on Brown Families Traveling .

17. Familee Travel

“Exposing [kids] to different sounds, different smells and eventually different tastes.

For Christa and Marquita, raising a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder and coexisting disorders doesn’t stop them from traveling.

View this post on Instagram “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” — Mahatma Gandhi⁣ ⁣ 🌎 I’ve been thinking these past few weeks/months about how the tourism industry is managing throughout the world. With travel at almost a standstill around the world, how are all the independent businesses managing? ⁣ ⁣ 🐪 During this time I’ve heard from tour guides in Egypt who shared their country with us, rickshaw drivers in Delhi and this week I got an email from the camel safari that took us to the Thar Desert in Rajasthan. Some messaging just to say hello and see how we were managing, some asking for help to sustain their own small business or like the @wanderlustcamelsafarijaisalmer , needing help for their camel drivers. Thankfully they all know how to use the internet and have connections to try to raise funds. ⁣ ⁣ 🌟 But what about the individuals who work in roadside stalls selling local foods? The artisan crafters? The hostels and small family run hotels? How are they all surviving during this unprecedented time? ⁣ ⁣ These people have given their all to start businesses in tourism and are now left wondering if they have a future doing what they love. ⁣ ⁣ ✨ Does anyone know if there are organizations working to give back to these small businesses throughout the world who don’t have government assistance? If you know of any please share. I’d love to help drum up support for folks in the tourism industry who are really struggling right now. ⁣ ⁣ ❤️ Thinking of you all, my travel industry friends. I hope the tides are shifting and hopes are rising. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #incredibleindia #incredibleindiaofficial #incredibleindia🇮🇳 #rajasthan #rajasthandiaries #rajasthantourism #rajasthan_tourism #rajasthantrip #indiatourism #india_ig #india_undiscovered #familytravel #travelwithkids #familyadventures ⁣ #familyvacations #travelbook #our_everyday_moments #enchantedchildhood #travelinggram #lifeisoutthere #adventurelover #travelbuddy #travelingkids #borntotravel #amazingplaces #childhoodwonders #flashesofdelight A post shared by Karilyn | Adventure Travel (@nobackhome) on Jul 22, 2020 at 5:51am PDT

View this post on Instagram We've passed Brohm Lake Interpretive Forest countless times on our way from Vancouver to Whistler, and vice versa. Every time we pass the sign we say, "one of these days we should check out Brohm Lake". A few weeks ago, we finally decided to pull over and check it out. The lake is much bigger than we expected. We assumed it was similar to Browning Lake in Murrin Provincial Park, but we would guesstimate it's about 5 times the size.  There are a few hiking trails that can be accessed from the parking lot at Brohm Lake Recreational Site. We decided to do the loop trail that circles the lake, thinking it would take about 20 minutes or so. We were wrong – it was much longer than expected and took us over an hour to complete.  It's a nice hike, aside from the section that runs parallel to the Sea to Sky Highway. It was the right amount of time and effort for a hike with our boys. A few leg burning sections but mostly a rolling trail with lots of viewpoints.

View this post on Instagram Can you se the double L-O-V-E? It’s been fun finding the love statues around Virginia and this one at the state’s oldest remaining covered bridge was our favorite. It was deserted and the creek was perfect for some water play. . Speaking of love, I got dozens and dozens of messages yesterday after a quick story I posted about all the things I DON’T do in our home and in our lives. I’m not superwoman; far from it. And so many of you needed the reminder to LOVE what you do and who you are – what you do, and also what you don’t. . Especially during this time, it’s so easy to feel overwhelmed. There’s so much going on. Too much. Between family concerns and health concerns and school concerns and community concerns, it’s just so much. . You’re doing great. If you have a Pinterest-worthy distance learning setup, that’s great! If you’re sitting outside doing zoom calls on a phone, that’s great! You’re doing GREAT. . My friend @aboutprogress shared yesterday that doing our best changes over time. Our best can look different depending on our circumstances. And that’s true for our kids, too. Our capacities and our capabilities evolve. And that’s okay. . Soooo let’s hear it. What is one thing you’re GOOD at right now, and one thing you’re NOT and not worrying about? I’ll start – I’m terrible at playing with my kids. I didn’t even really do toys or imagination games as a kid, so I definitely don’t now. I’m good at distilling information and explaining it so kids can understand.

 why families love to travel.

"Traveling provides us with quality time focused on our family with out typical life responsibilities. Also, We get to learn and experience new things with each other."

Nicole Sweeney

"Travelling has been an unparalleled way to connect with my 2-year-old and see the world through her eyes. Without travel, I wouldn't have experienced my favorite moments with her."

Jennifer Greuel

"Traveling teaches my kids that the world is full of diversity, where some people look like them and others don’t, but we are all the same."

Lizzeth Valdivieso

I love traveling with my daughter because I remember traveling as a kid. We didn’t sleep at fancy hotels nor see any of the seven wonders; in fact, we drove to most of our destinations because we couldn’t afford to fly. But those hours in the car, racing in the National Mall with my cousins, fishing on the lake with my dad, the first time we went crabbing, walking into Constitution Hall all remain with me. I want that for my kid.

Natalia Maddela

If we were meant to be in one place, we’d be born as a tree. Explore, with your loved ones, the boon of being alive as a person.

Angela Khurana

You can buy your child material things, but showing them the world creates memories will last a lifetime.

Katrina Szurpeta

When we share travels with our kids, the world belongs to us and we learn to feel as we belong anywhere in the world

Julia Karpinski

Our family gains more than tan lines and extra treats during vacation. We experience joy, tantrums, new sights, sounds, smells, and cultural awakenings that will help our next generation of independent travelers to journey with understanding, kindness and respect.

Megan Pohorylo Tucker

Traveling with my children has helped us create bonds, memories, and traditions. This experience has helped us become open minded and respectful of other cultures. The best part, we get to explore this amazing world together

Top Tips for Traveling with Children: Planning Stress-Free Family Adventures

Updated : September 17, 2024

AAA Content Strategist, Elena Moore

Table of contents, key takeaways, why family travel is important, choosing the right destination, packing essentials for kids, traveling with infants and toddlers, best destinations by age, planning and booking your family trip, keeping kids entertained during travel, health and safety tips, kid-friendly accommodations, eating out with children, managing travel stress, engaging kids in cultural experiences, multigenerational family vacations, making the most of vacation time, creating lasting memories, frequently asked questions.

Traveling with children doesn’t have to be stressful. Use these helpful and practical tips to ensure your family vacations are enjoyable and stress-free. From packing essentials to choosing the right destination, we’ve got you covered.

• Family travel strengthens bonds and boosts children’s emotional well-being by providing shared experiences.
• Choosing the right destination based on age and interests enhances the family vacation experience and keeps everyone engaged.
• Planning, organization, and flexibility are key to managing travel stress and ensuring a smooth trip with kids.

Family travel is more than just a break from routine; it’s a chance to create lasting memories that contribute significantly to emotional well-being. These shared experiences often lead to the creation of new traditions and strengthen familial bonds. Imagine the joy of reminiscing about a family trip to a sunny beach or a snowy mountain and reliving those precious moments together.

Travel significantly aids in children’s development. It fosters essential life skills such as patience, adaptability, and self-confidence. When children are exposed to new environments, their curiosity and open-mindedness about the world around them grow. They become more expressive and sociable traits that will benefit them throughout their lives.

Travel can boost children’s self-esteem through adventurous activities and overcoming challenges. Whether it’s hiking a trail, exploring a new city, or trying a new cuisine, these experiences empower children and make them feel accomplished. Family vacations are not just about fun; they’re about growing together and enriching each other’s lives.

Selecting an appropriate destination is vital for a successful family vacation. Finding a location that fits your family’s needs and preferences is key. Budget, safety, age considerations, and personal preferences are significant factors in choosing a destination.

Understanding your child’s interests can make a world of difference. Identifying what you want from the trip helps narrow down suitable destinations. For instance, if your child loves animals, a trip to a destination with a renowned zoo or wildlife park might be perfect. Similarly, considering age-appropriate activities ensures that everyone has a good time.

Being flexible with travel dates can uncover excellent deals. Timing your visit to match optimal weather and low crowds can enhance the family vacation experience. Seeking recommendations from friends and family can also uncover valuable insights into family-friendly travel locations. Planning your next family trip can be an enjoyable and exciting part of the journey with these tips.

If you’re looking for recommendations on family-friendly destinations, travel deals, and vacation packages, a AAA travel agent can help plan and book your trip.

Packing for a family trip can seem daunting, but with some organization, it becomes much easier. A packing list for clothing, including one outfit per day plus a couple extras, is highly useful. Packing cubes help organize children’s clothes, making items easier to locate.

Rolling complete outfits together, including socks and accessories, simplifies coordination. Packing a carry-on with essentials like a clean outfit, swimwear, pajamas, medications, and toiletries prepares for any luggage delays.

Keeping extra ziplock bags handy is useful for managing wet or dirty clothes and snacks during travel. With these packing essentials, you’re well-prepared for any adventure.

Extra preparation is needed when traveling with infants and toddlers, but it can be manageable. Feeding the baby during takeoff can alleviate ear discomfort from cabin pressure changes. Familiar bedtime items like sound machines and nightlights can help maintain sleep routines. An FAA-approved car seat enhances safety and parents’ comfort during flights when you purchase a seat for the infant.

Seats at the back of the plane offer easier restroom access and minimize disruption. Small, quiet toys can entertain infants during the journey. Due to limited space, approach diaper changes on airplanes with caution, waiting for necessity.

These tips make family travel with small children more manageable and enjoyable.

Selecting destinations based on your children’s ages can make for a more successful trip. Each age group has unique needs and interests, and finding destinations that cater to these can enhance the overall experience.

Here are some ideal destinations for different age groups.

Ages 0-3: Baby-Friendly Getaways

Short flights or road trips to beach resorts are ideal for families with infants and toddlers. These places provide relaxation for parents and play areas for small children.

Family-friendly resorts with amenities like cribs and babysitting services make vacations easier for parents. These thoughtful touches ensure that even the youngest travelers have a comfortable and enjoyable family vacation.

Ages 4-7: Fun and Learning

Destinations that combine fun and learning are ideal for children aged 4-7. Consider destinations with animals/zoos, beautiful beaches, and diverse food options. These locations offer young children opportunities to discover and learn in exciting new environments.

San Diego offers a wealth of activities for young children, including the world-famous San Diego Zoo, LEGOLAND California, and numerous family-friendly beaches. The city's mild climate ensures that outdoor activities can be enjoyed year-round, making it a perfect destination for families looking to combine fun and relaxation.

Ft. Lauderdale, known for its beautiful coastline and waterways, provides a variety of family-oriented activities such as the Museum of Discovery and Science, Butterfly World, and numerous parks and playgrounds. The city's family-friendly resorts often include amenities like kids' clubs and water slides, ensuring that both parents and children have a memorable vacation.

New York City, with its bustling atmosphere and endless attractions, offers something for every member of the family. From the interactive exhibits at the American Museum of Natural History to the enchanting Central Park Zoo, children can explore and learn in one of the most iconic cities in the world. The city's diverse food scene also allows for culinary adventures that the whole family can enjoy.

Ages 8-12: Adventure Awaits

Children aged 8-12 are ready for more adventurous activities. Skiing, surfing, and fishing provide thrilling experiences suitable for older kids.

Families can enjoy hiking and berry picking in Rhode Island, immersing themselves in local culture. Alberta, Canada, is ideal for kayaking and hiking, perfect for adventurous older kids.

Montana dude ranches provide adventure and autonomy for tweens, promoting exploration and bonding. These destinations promise unforgettable experiences that cater to the adventurous spirit of tweens.

Ages 13 - 18: Teen-Friendly Vacations

Teenagers often crave independence and adventure, so destinations that offer a mix of activities and freedom are ideal. Cities with rich cultural scenes, such as New York or Chicago, can captivate teens with their museums, shopping districts, and entertainment options.

Outdoor adventures, like white-water rafting in Colorado or zip-lining in Costa Rica, can provide the thrill and excitement that teens seek. Educational trips to historical sites or science museums can also be engaging, offering a blend of fun and learning.

Cruises designed for families often have teen clubs and activities, allowing teens to socialize and explore in a safe environment. These vacations offer a balance of autonomy and family time, ensuring that everyone has a memorable and enjoyable experience.

Planning and booking a family trip can be both fun and collaborative. A varied itinerary ensures activities for everyone and encourages planning participation. Planning the travel route together and using a paper map can engage and excite children about the journey.

Directly consulting the airline for specific policies on flying with infants is crucial. Choosing connecting flights for long distances lets children stretch and expend energy, reducing stress.

Planning health insurance and transportation in advance can streamline the travel experience. These tips ensure a smooth and enjoyable family trip.

Entertaining kids during travel reduces stress for parents and prevents children’s boredom. New small toys or crafts can keep kids engaged during travel. Activity bags with fun supplies can break up the monotony of long trips for children.

Games like ‘20 Questions’ or ‘I Spy’ can entertain kids without needing purchased items. A car seat back organizer keeps essential items like snacks and toys within easy reach during travel.

These strategies keep children entertained and happy, making travel more enjoyable for the whole family.

Health and safety are crucial when traveling with children. Consult a healthcare provider for destination-specific vaccines and advice at least a month before departure. Keep all routine vaccinations up to date, including MMR, to protect against rapid disease spread.

Pack a travel health kit with prescriptions, over-the-counter medicines, and first aid supplies. Regular handwashing or using hand sanitizer helps prevent the spread of germs during travel.

A first aid kit ensures necessary medications and supplies are available in emergencies. These precautions ensure a safe and healthy family vacation.

Kid-friendly hotels can greatly enhance your family vacation experience. Choose accommodations with ample space to prevent conflicts and ensure comfort. Look for hotels that offer family-friendly amenities and spacious accommodations for a comfortable stay.

With a bit of planning, eating out with young children can be delightful. Choose restaurants with appealing menu items for children and where spills are not an issue. Opt for restaurants with shorter wait times to accommodate kids’ attention spans.

Dining early prevents children from becoming too tired or hungry, reducing meltdowns. Activities like coloring books or simple games keep children entertained while waiting for their meal.

Ordering appetizers or bringing small snacks can mitigate hunger and prevent children from being overly hungry at mealtime.

Managing travel stress ensures a smooth and enjoyable family vacation. Appointing a designated organizer of parts of the trip simplifies communication and shares decision-making during the trip planning phase. Flexibility during the trip enhances the overall experience.

Ziplock bags are invaluable for organizing dirty items like clothes or diapers during your journey. These practical tips help reduce stress and ensure everyone enjoys the family trip.

Cultural experiences during family trips can broaden kids’ perspectives and foster empathy. Discussing cultural differences enhances children’s understanding and appreciation of diversity. Participating in local festivals and workshops provides immersive cultural experiences that children can enjoy.

Learning common phrases in the local language helps kids connect with locals and shows respect. Exploring food from different cultures helps children understand diverse backgrounds and histories, fostering connection.

These experiences enrich children’s understanding of the world and create meaningful family memories.

Multigenerational family vacations can be rewarding and require careful planning to balance everyone’s needs for the entire family. Consider the interests and abilities of all family members, from youngest to eldest.

Balancing everyone’s needs creates opportunities for shared experiences and bonding across generations. Whether at a beach resort, cultural city tour, or countryside retreat, multigenerational vacations create lasting family memories that are once in a lifetime.

Maximizing vacation time allows families to enjoy leisurely experiences alongside sightseeing. Daily itineraries should include both explorations and rest periods to prevent overstimulation. Define specific times for relaxation, such as beach visits, park strolls, or hotel downtime.

Incorporate local cultural events and activities to engage kids and teach them about the environment. Balancing adventure and relaxation is vital for creating a harmonious family vacation experience.

These tips ensure vacation time is well-spent and enjoyable for everyone.

Creating lasting memories is among the most rewarding aspects of family travel. The goal of travel is ultimately to enjoy time together as a family and strengthen relationships. Reflecting on travel experiences after the trip helps children solidify their learning and understand global concepts. Using quality gear such as a good camera or smartphone is essential for capturing memorable moments.

Learning basic photography skills like composition and lighting can improve the quality of your family photos. Candid shots often convey the authentic emotions and experiences of family adventures better than posed photos. Incorporating various mediums like videos and journals along with photographs creates a more immersive documentation experience.

Encouraging every family member to document their perspective diversifies the collection of memories captured. Capturing a range of emotions, including joy and frustration, adds depth to the memories recorded during family adventures. Balancing documentation with being present in the moment enhances the overall experience of family adventures. These practices ensure that the memories of your family trips are preserved and cherished for years to come.

Traveling with children may seem challenging, but with careful planning and a spirit of adventure, it can be an immensely rewarding experience. From choosing the right destination and packing essentials to engaging kids in cultural experiences and managing travel stress, every aspect of family travel can be navigated smoothly. These tips and insights aim to make your family vacation a joyous and memorable journey.

Remember, the ultimate goal of family travel is to create lasting memories and strengthen bonds. Embrace the moments, both big and small, and cherish the time spent together.

Let a AAA Travel Advisor or Travel Agent to assist you in planning your next family vacation. Our experts are well-versed in destinations, tours, cruises, and activities that will ensure your family trip is truly unforgettable.

What are some tips for traveling with infants and toddlers?

Traveling with little ones is definitely a challenge but bringing familiar bedtime items can help keep their sleep routine intact. Also, seating at the back of the plane makes restroom trips easier, and don’t forget an FAA-approved car seat for safety!

What documentation do I need for international travel with kids?

When traveling internationally with children, having the correct documentation is crucial. Here’s what you’ll typically need:

• Passports : Ensure that all family members, including infants, have valid passports. Check the expiration dates well in advance, as some countries require passports to be valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates.
• Visas: Verify if your destination requires visas for entry. Application processes and requirements vary by country, so check the specific guidelines for your destination.
• Consent Letters: If one parent is traveling alone with the child, a notarized letter of consent from the other parent may be required. This letter should state that the traveling parent has permission to take the child out of the country.
• Birth Certificates: Carry original or certified copies of your children’s birth certificates. These may be needed to prove parentage, especially if your surnames are different.
• Travel Insurance: Obtain travel insurance that covers the entire family. Ensure it includes medical coverage, trip cancellation, and lost luggage protection.
• Health Documentation: Some destinations require proof of vaccinations or health certificates. Check with your healthcare provider for any necessary immunizations and obtain a copy of your children’s health records.
• Emergency Contacts: Have a list of emergency contacts and any necessary legal documents, such as custody papers or adoption certificates, if applicable.

By ensuring you have all the necessary documentation, you can avoid potential issues and ensure a smooth journey for your family. Safe travels!

How can I keep my kids entertained during long trips?

To keep your kids entertained on long trips, try giving them new small toys or crafting supplies, and play fun games like '20 Questions' or 'I Spy'. These activities will keep them engaged and make the journey more enjoyable for everyone!

What destinations are suitable for a family vacation with young children?

Beach resorts with family-friendly amenities are great for young kids, especially those aged 0-3. For slightly older children, consider fun and educational destinations like Australia, Italy, and Bali.

What should I pack for a family trip with kids?

You’ll want to pack a list of clothes for everyone, use packing cubes for easy organization, and don’t forget a carry-on with essentials like a clean outfit and toiletries for the kids in case of delays. This way, you’ll be all set for a smooth family trip!

How can I ensure health and safety during family travel?

To ensure health and safety during family travel, consult a healthcare provider for the necessary vaccines and prepare a travel health kit. Don't forget to promote regular handwashing or use hand sanitizers to stay safe!

Travel Itinerary For One Week in Moscow: The Best of Moscow!

I just got back from one week in Moscow. And, as you might have already guessed, it was a mind-boggling experience. It was not my first trip to the Russian capital. But I hardly ever got enough time to explore this sprawling city. Visiting places for business rarely leaves enough time for sightseeing. I think that if you’ve got one week in Russia, you can also consider splitting your time between its largest cities (i.e. Saint Petersburg ) to get the most out of your trip. Seven days will let you see the majority of the main sights and go beyond just scratching the surface. In this post, I’m going to share with you my idea of the perfect travel itinerary for one week in Moscow.

Moscow is perhaps both the business and cultural hub of Russia. There is a lot more to see here than just the Kremlin and Saint Basil’s Cathedral. Centuries-old churches with onion-shaped domes dotted around the city are in stark contrast with newly completed impressive skyscrapers of Moscow City dominating the skyline. I spent a lot of time thinking about my Moscow itinerary before I left. And this city lived up to all of my expectations.

Travel Itinerary For One Week in Moscow

Day 1 – red square and the kremlin.

Metro Station: Okhotny Ryad on Red Line.

No trip to Moscow would be complete without seeing its main attraction. The Red Square is just a stone’s throw away from several metro stations. It is home to some of the most impressive architectural masterpieces in the city. The first thing you’ll probably notice after entering it and passing vendors selling weird fur hats is the fairytale-like looking Saint Basil’s Cathedral. It was built to commemorate one of the major victories of Ivan the Terrible. I once spent 20 minutes gazing at it, trying to find the perfect angle to snap it. It was easier said than done because of the hordes of locals and tourists.

As you continue strolling around Red Square, there’s no way you can miss Gum. It was widely known as the main department store during the Soviet Era. Now this large (yet historic) shopping mall is filled with expensive boutiques, pricey eateries, etc. During my trip to Moscow, I was on a tight budget. So I only took a retro-style stroll in Gum to get a rare glimpse of a place where Soviet leaders used to grocery shop and buy their stuff. In case you want some modern shopping experience, head to the Okhotny Ryad Shopping Center with stores like New Yorker, Zara, and Adidas.

To continue this Moscow itinerary, next you may want to go inside the Kremlin walls. This is the center of Russian political power and the president’s official residence. If you’re planning to pay Kremlin a visit do your best to visit Ivan the Great Bell Tower as well. Go there as early as possible to avoid crowds and get an incredible bird’s-eye view. There are a couple of museums that are available during designated visiting hours. Make sure to book your ticket online and avoid lines.

Day 2 – Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, the Tretyakov Gallery, and the Arbat Street

Metro Station: Kropotkinskaya on Red Line

As soon as you start creating a Moscow itinerary for your second day, you’ll discover that there are plenty of metro stations that are much closer to certain sites. Depending on your route, take a closer look at the metro map to pick the closest.

The white marble walls of Christ the Saviour Cathedral are awe-inspiring. As you approach this tallest Orthodox Christian church, you may notice the bronze sculptures, magnificent arches, and cupolas that were created to commemorate Russia’s victory against Napoleon.

How to Get a Decent Haircut in a Foreign Country

Unfortunately, the current Cathedral is a replica, since original was blown to bits in 1931 by the Soviet government. The new cathedral basically follows the original design, but they have added some new elements such as marble high reliefs.

Home to some precious collection of artworks, in Tretyakov Gallery you can find more than 150,000 of works spanning centuries of artistic endeavor. Originally a privately owned gallery, it now has become one of the largest museums in Russia. The Gallery is often considered essential to visit. But I have encountered a lot of locals who have never been there.

Famous for its souvenirs, musicians, and theaters, Arbat street is among the few in Moscow that were turned into pedestrian zones. Arbat street is usually very busy with tourists and locals alike. My local friend once called it the oldest street in Moscow dating back to 1493. It is a kilometer long walking street filled with fancy gift shops, small cozy restaurants, lots of cute cafes, and street artists. It is closed to any vehicular traffic, so you can easily stroll it with kids.

Day 3 – Moscow River Boat Ride, Poklonnaya Hill Victory Park, the Moscow City

Metro Station: Kievskaya and Park Pobedy on Dark Blue Line / Vystavochnaya on Light Blue Line

Voyaging along the Moscow River is definitely one of the best ways to catch a glimpse of the city and see the attractions from a bit different perspective. Depending on your Moscow itinerary, travel budget and the time of the year, there are various types of boats available. In the summer there is no shortage of boats, and you’ll be spoiled for choice.

Travel Itinerary for One Week in Beijing

If you find yourself in Moscow during the winter months, I’d recommend going with Radisson boat cruise. These are often more expensive (yet comfy). They offer refreshments like tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and, of course, alcoholic drinks. Prices may vary but mostly depend on your food and drink selection. Find their main pier near the opulent Ukraine hotel . The hotel is one of the “Seven Sisters”, so if you’re into the charm of Stalinist architecture don’t miss a chance to stay there.

The area near Poklonnaya Hill has the closest relation to the country’s recent past. The memorial complex was completed in the mid-1990s to commemorate the Victory and WW2 casualties. Also known as the Great Patriotic War Museum, activities here include indoor attractions while the grounds around host an open-air museum with old tanks and other vehicles used on the battlefield.

How I Planned My Trip to Vietnam

The hallmark of the memorial complex and the first thing you see as you exit metro is the statue of Nike mounted to its column. This is a very impressive Obelisk with a statue of Saint George slaying the dragon at its base.

Maybe not as impressive as Shanghai’s Oriental Pearl Tower , the skyscrapers of the Moscow City (otherwise known as Moscow International Business Center) are so drastically different from dull Soviet architecture. With 239 meters and 60 floors, the Empire Tower is the seventh highest building in the business district.

The observation deck occupies 56 floor from where you have some panoramic views of the city. I loved the view in the direction of Moscow State University and Luzhniki stadium as well to the other side with residential quarters. The entrance fee is pricey, but if you’re want to get a bird’s eye view, the skyscraper is one of the best places for doing just that.

Day 4 – VDNKh, Worker and Collective Farm Woman Monument, The Ostankino TV Tower

Metro Station: VDNKh on Orange Line

VDNKh is one of my favorite attractions in Moscow. The weird abbreviation actually stands for Russian vystavka dostizheniy narodnogo khozyaystva (Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy). With more than 200 buildings and 30 pavilions on the grounds, VDNKh serves as an open-air museum. You can easily spend a full day here since the park occupies a very large area.

Places to Visit in Barcelona That Aren’t Beaches

First, there are pavilions that used to showcase different cultures the USSR was made of. Additionally, there is a number of shopping pavilions, as well as Moskvarium (an Oceanarium) that features a variety of marine species. VDNKh is a popular venue for events and fairs. There is always something going on, so I’d recommend checking their website if you want to see some particular exhibition.

A stone’s throw away from VDNKh there is a very distinctive 25-meters high monument. Originally built in 1937 for the world fair in Paris, the hulking figures of men and women holding a hammer and a sickle represent the Soviet idea of united workers and farmers. It doesn’t take much time to see the monument, but visiting it gives some idea of the Soviet Union’s grandiose aspirations.

I have a thing for tall buildings. So to continue my travel itinerary for one week in Moscow I decided to climb the fourth highest TV tower in the world. This iconic 540m tower is a fixture of the skyline. You can see it virtually from everywhere in Moscow, and this is where you can get the best panoramic views (yep, even better than Empire skyscraper).

Parts of the floor are made of tempered glass, so it can be quite scary to exit the elevator. But trust me, as you start observing buildings and cars below, you won’t want to leave. There is only a limited number of tickets per day, so you may want to book online. Insider tip: the first tour is cheaper, you can save up to $10 if go there early.

Day 5 – A Tour To Moscow Manor Houses

Metro Station: Kolomenskoye, Tsaritsyno on Dark Green Line / Kuskovo on Purple Line

I love visiting the manor houses and palaces in Moscow. These opulent buildings were generally built to house Russian aristocratic families and monarchs. Houses tend to be rather grand affairs with impressive architecture. And, depending on the whims of the owners, some form of a landscaped garden.

During the early part of the 20th century though, many of Russia’s aristocratic families (including the family of the last emperor) ended up being killed or moving abroad . Their manor houses were nationalized. Some time later (after the fall of the USSR) these were open to the public. It means that today a great many of Moscow’s finest manor houses and palaces are open for touring.

20 Travel Tips I’ve Learned From Travelling The World

There are 20 manor houses scattered throughout the city and more than 25 in the area around. But not all of them easily accessible and exploring them often takes a lot of time. I’d recommend focusing on three most popular estates in Moscow that are some 30-minute metro ride away from Kremlin.

Sandwiched between the Moscow River and the Andropov Avenue, Kolomenskoye is a UNESCO site that became a public park in the 1920’s. Once a former royal estate, now it is one of the most tranquil parks in the city with gorgeous views. The Ascension Church, The White Column, and the grounds are a truly grand place to visit.

You could easily spend a full day here, exploring a traditional Russian village (that is, in fact, a market), picnicking by the river, enjoying the Eastern Orthodox church architecture, hiking the grounds as well as and wandering the park and gardens with wildflower meadows, apple orchards, and birch and maple groves. The estate museum showcases Russian nature at its finest year-round.

If my travel itinerary for one week in Moscow was a family tree, Tsaritsyno Park would probably be the crazy uncle that no-one talks about. It’s a large park in the south of the city of mind-boggling proportions, unbelievable in so many ways, and yet most travelers have never heard of it.

The palace was supposed to be a summer home for Empress Catherine the Great. But since the construction didn’t meet with her approval the palace was abandoned. Since the early 1990’s the palace, the pond, and the grounds have been undergoing renovations. The entire complex is now looking brighter and more elaborately decorated than at possibly any other time during its history. Like most parks in Moscow, you can visit Tsaritsyno free of charge, but there is a small fee if you want to visit the palace.

How To Stop Procrastinating When Trip Planning

Last, but by no means least on my Moscow itinerary is Kuskovo Park . This is definitely an off-the-beaten-path place. While it is not easily accessible, you will be rewarded with a lack of crowds. This 18th-century summer country house of the Sheremetev family was one of the first summer country estates of the Russian nobility. And when you visit you’ll quickly realize why locals love this park.

Like many other estates, Kuskovo has just been renovated. So there are lovely French formal garden, a grotto, and the Dutch house to explore. Make sure to plan your itinerary well because the estate is some way from a metro station.

Day 6 – Explore the Golden Ring

Creating the Moscow itinerary may keep you busy for days with the seemingly endless amount of things to do. Visiting the so-called Golden Ring is like stepping back in time. Golden Ring is a “theme route” devised by promotion-minded journalist and writer Yuri Bychkov.

Having started in Moscow the route will take you through a number of historical cities. It now includes Suzdal, Vladimir, Kostroma, Yaroslavl and Sergiev Posad. All these awe-inspiring towns have their own smaller kremlins and feature dramatic churches with onion-shaped domes, tranquil residential areas, and other architectural landmarks.

Two Weeks In Thailand: The Perfect 14-Day Itinerary

I only visited two out of eight cities included on the route. It is a no-brainer that Sergiev Posad is the nearest and the easiest city to see on a day trip from Moscow. That being said, you can explore its main attractions in just one day. Located some 70 km north-east of the Russian capital, this tiny and overlooked town is home to Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, UNESCO Site.

Sergiev Posad is often described as being at the heart of Russian spiritual life. So it is uncommon to see the crowds of Russian pilgrims showing a deep reverence for their religion. If you’re traveling independently and using public transport, you can reach Sergiev Posad by bus (departs from VDNKh) or by suburban commuter train from Yaroslavskaya Railway Station (Bahnhof). It takes about one and a half hours to reach the town.

Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius is a great place to get a glimpse of filling and warming Russian lunch, specifically at the “ Gostevaya Izba ” restaurant. Try the duck breast, hearty potato and vegetables, and the awesome Napoleon cake.

Day 7 – Gorky Park, Izmailovo Kremlin, Patriarch’s Ponds

Metro Station: Park Kultury or Oktyabrskaya on Circle Line / Partizanskaya on Dark Blue Line / Pushkinskaya on Dark Green Line

Gorky Park is in the heart of Moscow. It offers many different types of outdoor activities, such as dancing, cycling, skateboarding, walking, jogging, and anything else you can do in a park. Named after Maxim Gorky, this sprawling and lovely park is where locals go on a picnic, relax and enjoy free yoga classes. It’s a popular place to bike around, and there is a Muzeon Art Park not far from here. A dynamic location with a younger vibe. There is also a pier, so you can take a cruise along the river too.

How to Save Money While Traveling in Europe

The Kremlin in Izmailovo is by no means like the one you can find near the Red Square. Originally built for decorative purposes, it now features the Vernissage flea market and a number of frequent fairs, exhibitions, and conferences. Every weekend, there’s a giant flea market in Izmailovo, where dozens of stalls sell Soviet propaganda crap, Russian nesting dolls, vinyl records, jewelry and just about any object you can imagine. Go early in the morning if you want to beat the crowds.

All the Bulgakov’s fans should pay a visit to Patriarch’s Ponds (yup, that is plural). With a lovely small city park and the only one (!) pond in the middle, the location is where the opening scene of Bulgakov’s novel Master and Margarita was set. The novel is centered around a visit by Devil to the atheistic Soviet Union is considered by many critics to be one of the best novels of the 20th century. I spent great two hours strolling the nearby streets and having lunch in the hipster cafe.

Conclusion and Recommendations

To conclude, Moscow is a safe city to visit. I have never had a problem with getting around and most locals are really friendly once they know you’re a foreigner. Moscow has undergone some serious reconstruction over the last few years. So you can expect some places to be completely different. I hope my one week Moscow itinerary was helpful! If you have less time, say 4 days or 5 days, I would cut out day 6 and day 7. You could save the Golden Ring for a separate trip entirely as there’s lots to see!

I know very little about Moscow or Russia for the\at matter. I do know I would have to see the Red Square and all of its exquisite architectural masterpieces. Also the CATHEDRAL OF CHRIST THE SAVIOUR. Thanks for shedding some light on visiting Moscow.

Thanks for swinging by! The Red Square is a great starting point, but there way too many places and things to discover aside from it!

WEATHER ALERT

KYIV – Ukrainian drones struck a large military depot in a town deep inside Russia overnight, causing a huge fire and forcing some residents to evacuate, a Ukrainian official and Russian news reports said Wednesday. At least 13 people were injured, Russia's Health Ministry added.

Meanwhile, a senior U.S. diplomat said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has a workable plan to end the war, now in its third year, although its details have not been publicly disclosed.

Ukraine claimed the strike destroyed military warehouses in Toropets, a town in Russia’s Tver region about 380 kilometers (240 miles) northwest of Moscow and about 500 kilometers (300 miles) from the border with Ukraine.

The attack was carried out by Ukraine’s Security Service, along with Ukraine’s Intelligence and Special Operations Forces, a Kyiv security official told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the operation.

According to the official, the depot housed Iskander and Tochka-U missiles, as well as glide bombs and artillery shells. He said the facility caught fire in the strike and was burning across an area 6 kilometers (4 miles) wide.

Among the destroyed ammunition were North Korean KN-23 short-range ballistic missiles, another official, in Ukraine’s Intelligence Office, told AP. He also was not authorized to comment publicly and didn’t provide evidence to support his claim.

Russia and North Korea signed a landmark pact in June that envisioned mutual military assistance between Moscow and Pyongyang.

More than 100 domestically produced exploding drones were deployed in the attack on the depot, the Ukrainian intelligence official added.

Russian state news agency RIA Novosti quoted regional authorities as saying air defense systems were working to repel a “massive drone attack” on Toropets, which has a population of about 11,000. The agency also reported a fire and the evacuations, and the Health Ministry said 13 people were hospitalized in the region after the attack.

Tver regional Gov. Igor Rudenya later said all evacuees could return home.

Successful Ukrainian strikes deep inside Russia have become more common as Kyiv developed its drone technology.

Zelenskyy also is seeking approval from Western nations for Ukraine to use the sophisticated weapons they are providing to hit targets inside Russia. Some Western leaders have balked at that, fearing they could be dragged into the conflict.

Part of Kyiv’s strategy is targeting of military equipment, ammunition and infrastructure deep inside Russia, as well as making civilians feel some of the consequences of the war that is being fought largely inside Ukraine.

The swift push by Ukrainian forces into Russia’s Kursk border region last month fits into that plan, which apparently seeks to compel Russian President Vladimir Putin to back down.

Putin, however, has shown no signs of that and has been trying to grind down Ukraine's resolve through attritional warfare and also sap the West’s support for Kyiv by drawing out the conflict. That has come at a price, however, as the U.K. Defense Ministry estimates the war has probably killed or wounded more than 600,000 Russian troops.

On Tuesday, Putin ordered the country’s military to increase its number of troops by 180,000 to a total of 1.5 million by Dec. 1.

Zelenskyy announced his war plan in his nightly address on Monday, saying it’s 90% ready and will be presented to allies over the next week.

He said Ukraine's plan for victory includes not only battlefield goals but also diplomatic and economic wins. The plan has been kept under wraps but the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, said at a news conference Tuesday that Washington officials have seen it.

“We think it lays out a strategy and a plan that can work,” she said, adding that the United States will bring it up with other world leaders at the U.N. General Assembly in New York next week. She did not comment on what the plan contained.
