7 Once-in-a-Lifetime Family Adventures in Latin America

Back in 2008, I spent three months travelling across Latin America, and it completely stole my heart. From trekking to Machu Picchu and hiking Patagonia’s wild landscapes to crossing the Chile-Bolivia border and discovering the southernmost bakery in Ushuaia, every experience was unforgettable.

With its breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and thrilling outdoor experiences, it’s the perfect region for an unforgettable family journey.

A foodie week in Italy with kids: the ultimate family guide

Have you ever dreamed of a foodie holiday where your days revolve around markets, restaurants, cooking, and savouring incredible food? If so, Italy is the perfect destination for your next family adventure—and the Emilia Romagna region is the ultimate foodie paradise! This October, my family and I embarked on a delicious journey through Italy with our children, making unforgettable memories along the way.

Before having kids, foodie holidays were a staple of my travels. But let’s be honest—dining out with young children isn’t always easy. Now that my little ones are old enough to sit through meals (and actually enjoy them), we decided to take them on an authentic culinary road trip.

October turned out to be the ideal time for this trip: the summer crowds were gone, the villages were peaceful, the locals were welcoming, and the sun was shining. What more could we ask for?
