How do we afford to travel so often? There’s endless little things we do to save here and there, which all add up meaning our trips are super cheap. Our socials and website are all about sharing these tips and tricks with you! Over the next few weeks I’ll be sharing lots of our money saving tips to get you travelling more, so follow along ❤️ ✨ Booking flights and hotels separately can be a super cheap way to explore, especially for shorter durations, longer durations and multi destination trips! ✨ Travel light! It’s free to take a rucksack on board. ✨We book at least one holiday park trip a year, from £9.50 a night when booked with sun holidays for example! Haven also have some great prices which we usually make the most of. ✨ Self catering trips can be super cheap compared to eating out lots. When we do eat out we google great rates cheap eats and street food - often authentic traditional food on a budget. ✨ Do all the free stuff! Hikes, beaches, picnics, playgrounds, museums, treasure hunts, sightseeing seeing, pool days - we never spend a fortune on attractions. These are just a handful, but can make a huge difference to what you spend on each trip!

AD | Could you pack light for a freezing country?! 🥶 It’s actually easier than we thought! Base and mid layers are perfect for vacuum packing. You only need one pair of snow trousers, one big coat and one pair of snow shoes which you will wear on the plane. @Skyscanner allows you to find some great priced flights to Rovaniemi, meaning Lapland is now more affordable than ever! Clothes I packed for 7 nights: 4 x base layers (could have gotten away with three) 5 x mid layer tops (way too many, only wore 3) 1 x mid layer trousers (I never wore these) 1 x snow coat (£25 from Lidl and was perfect) 1 x snow trousers (£12 from Aldi, again perfect) 1 x snow boots (£20 Aldi, my feet were never cold) 3 x bamboo socks 3 x woolly socks Under gloves plus thicker snow gloves Two hats (only wore one) Scarf Balaclava (didn’t wear this) Neck warmer (didn’t wear this either). Underwear. Would you travel like this?! Let us know!
You really need to think less and do more. Life is too short not to. Childhood is too short not to ❤️ 🏨 Stop worrying about booking that perfect expensive hotel, find a cheap apartment instead. You need a roof over your head, that is all. ❄️ Stop worrying about getting expensive snow clothes - Aldi, Lidl and vinted are perfect for finding cheap options. Everything we had was second hand or from Aldi/Lidl. We travelled with hand luggage and didn’t use everything we took. You don’t need much. ⛄️ Stop worrying about the £100+ excursions. Your kids won’t care if you don’t do a 3 hour guided husky ride that sets you back £600. Head to Santa Claus village, see Santa for free, find a sledge, do a short reindeer or husky ride (kids don’t want to be sat in the cold for a long time). Feed the reindeer at the elves farmyard. There’s lots you can do without spending a fortune. They’ll remember being there, having a great time, it being magical - and that’s it. ☕️ Don’t spend €5 a time on hot chocolates, take a flask and make your own. Pack sandwiches instead of spending €100+ eating out. Kids much prefer sarnies by a camp fire and toasting marshmallows for desert over a fancy restaurant. Kids are simple beings, they don’t want expensive fancy things, they just want those special moments with you ❤️
