Family travel, written by a family
We are selling the house to see more of the world, starting with Thailand in January. Follow along for honest trip reports, realistic itineraries and what it takes to travel with a teenager.
The first stories we are planning to write. Each one goes live as soon as it is ready.
Why we are letting go of our home, how we are deciding what to keep, and what comes after the sale.
Where we are going, how we chose the route, what we are booking early and what we are leaving open.
Giving a teenager a real say in the plan, and keeping the trip fun for all three of us.
Family and friends, this is the place to see where we are and what is next.
Where we are now
-- days until January
Planning and packing. Thailand is next, and the house sale is in progress.
Get updates by emailDraft plan. We will update it as bookings are confirmed.
Pick a place and find every guide, packing list and itinerary for it.
Short, tested ideas for planning, packing and keeping everyone happy.
Give them a budget and a free choice. They stay engaged, and you often end up somewhere you would never have found.
One slow day after every few busy ones keeps everyone fresh, especially in hot weather.
Fewer moves mean less packing and more time to settle in and explore the neighbourhood.
One carry-on each makes trains, tuk-tuks and short flights far easier, and it is a good habit before a long trip.
