Travelling as a Parent
Travelling with kids is as rewarding as it is challenging. Having an age gap between my kids, I have been taking kids on trips for over 10 years; from newborn up to the tween years.
I’ve been on more flights with kids than I can count with kids in tow, and we have been to a number of countries together as a family – US, Canada, Cuba, Bahamas, Italy, Iceland, Ireland, Costa Rica and United Kingdom.
I was a single parent for the first 6 years of my older child’s life, and I did quite a bit of travelling solo around the world with her.
