I’d heard great things about Odds Farm so I thought where better to take baby Isla for her first birthday! We went in March so there were lots of baby animals there but much of the entertainment available in the summer wasn’t yet open (I’ve heard they have their own beach!). Odds Farm is located […]
Packed full of history, Kathmandu is a noisy, vibrant capital city, gateway to the Himalayas and the rest of Nepal. Young people from the country come here to study, to earn a better living and to own a piece of its future. Heavy traffic all day; cars, buses, vans, motorbikes and bicycles vie for space on […]
I normally pack light, but as soon as we were travelling with a baby on-board that changed…drastically! I wish I took a photograph of all of my luggage on that first trip abroad, it was that hilarious! Whilst there is no doubt that you do need a few more things when travelling with a baby […]
Baby Isla turned one last week (seriously, where has the year gone!?) and she is lucky to have collected four stamps in her passport already! In the first year of her life she took five short haul and four long haul flights and was an absolute angel on them all! I have lots of parents […]
Many people ask me how do I manage to travel lots now that I have a baby in tow, my answer is always ‘put the baby on your back and do what you normally do!’. Of course there are limitations to this, we avoid late nights because baby Isla gets overtired and we are not […]
Following on from our first big family travel adventure to Costa Rica, we have just returned from our next big trip- Sri Lanka! Travelling with a baby in tow most certainly does bring with it new challenges (Where can I find space in my luggage to pack all of the nappies? Will baby sleep on […]
So it seems it has become an annual occurrence that in preparation for the new year ahead I review all of my achievements from the past 12 months. It’s so easy to lose sight of the bigger picture and to forget just how much you have achieved in your life, whether this be travel, career […]
When I was planning our first adventure as a threesome I was nervous about where might or might not be appropriate to take a four-month-old baby. Is it too hot? Too cold? Too many mosquitos? Is it a Malaria area? What is the hygiene like? The list of concerns seemed never-ending! Eventually we decided on […]
Once you have a baby, you can no longer hop on a flight to anywhere you choose. Whilst I absolutely advocate travelling with children, it is important that you research your destination and confirm that it has the facilities you need. For instance, before baby, a day on an isolated beach with a slight breeze […]
Today I am sat in my garden in my bikini enjoying the hot weather while baby Isla sleeps the heat off (33 degrees in London-whoop whoop, loving maternity leave right now!). It feels amazing to be wearing my bikini again, it feels great to have a few minutes to write while she sleeps, it feels […]
