Want to be confident about travelling safely with your kids?
Want to say goodbye to worrying about what could go wrong?
You can! This simple guide will give you all the information, tools and tips you need to avoid or manage any challenge you face and to be safe and secure on your holiday.
Do you feel nervous when you travel? Are you planning a holiday but get anxious when you think about what could go wrong? Is it stressing you out? I understand!
Traveling with kids can be nerve-wracking.
You’re out of your comfort zone and you want to have an amazing time, but the thought of what could go wrong plays on your mind over and over again. It can stress you out on your holiday, and for some people it can be a barrier to even taking a holiday.
Before I travelled full time with my daughter I had a few worries too. But with research, information and experience I learnt how to prepare myself so I could get through any challenges I faced – from missing transport, to being robbed and ripped off by scammers.
I worked out what I needed to do to protect my daughter and I, and to give us the best chance of managing any difficult situation or issues that came our way.
We spent three years successfully travelling around Asia with just our backpacks – and when we were robbed it was in Spain on a driving holiday! So, I now know all about how to avoid that too, and the steps to take if something like this happens.
I’ve lived travel – whether on holidays, adventurous trips to exotic locations like Mongolia, or full time travel – for much of the past 10 years. I’ve learnt it all by being out there, by making mistakes and by developing strategies to protect myself and my daughter.
Of course, I want to share this with you.
One of the questions I get asked the most about traveling as a solo parent is how I keep my daughter and I safe. Our experience and this question from so many people inspired me to write this guide.
