While many of us dream of a relaxing, stress-free holiday, safety concerns can be a huge roadblock to setting off into the unfamiliar. 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 you inspired me to write this guide.
HOLIDAY SAFE: The complete guide to staying safe when traveling with kids is a detailed guide to help you travel safely on your family adventure. It’s for everyone – because whether you’re traveling with one parent or two, and even with or without kids – it’s so important to know the essential steps to make your holiday a safe one.
From planning and booking your trip, departure and arrival, health, food and drink, family safety when out and about, keeping children safe, scams to watch out for and so much more, this detailed guide covers everything you need to know – for all kinds of holidays. It will help you if you’re staying at a guesthouse or hostel, setting off on an adventure with backpacks and no return date or living it up at a resort.
You’ll learn the strategies that I use when we are traveling, and skills I’ve learnt on the road from trial (and a lot of) error . I’m so happy to share all my precious knowledge learnt from those first-hand experiences, coupled with expert consultation and detailed research, with you.
