Are you putting off having kids because you want to travel? What are your biggest worries about travelling with little ones? I’ll answer all your questions here and take some inspiration for future reels ❤️ We have been travelling as a family for nearly 5 years, it’s not always easy, but it’s amazing - and you will never regret time and memories made with your little ones 🫶🏻 So many of you get in touch to say you are passionate about travel, you did lots before kids, but you just haven’t dared do it since starting a family. Let me help you ❤️
Have you checked your passports recently?! You usually need 3-6 months validity on there when you travel. If you plan ahead and use the routine service (which can take up to 10 weeks) you will save a lot of money. Currently a childs renewal is £53.50 done routinely. £126 if done via the fast track! Ive got lots more information over on my blog post at www.thetravelmum.com - i also have it linked in my linktree - there i go into more detail and discuss passport photo requirements / countersigning and more. We also have a post on getting a first child or baby passport.
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!
Save this one for when you’re booking your trip to Lapland next year! 🤩🎅🏻🎄 By booking everything separately you can save a fortune. With budget airlines flying to Rovaniemi from lots of airports it’s now easier than ever to bag a bargain trip. Once we are there we will cover everything we spend from food and activities to petrol and parking. Have you been to Lapland?! Did you book it DIY or go with a package company? Let us know 🤩
✨ Fancy Disney but you’re broke AF? It’s ok! I got you 😜
