Best trips with newborns and small babies

Do we travel only for the good weather?

Travelling off-season is not an option for families with children in school. But travelling off-season is an option! Do you follow me? Of course, we can not take our kids out of school to go on holidays when prices are better and crowds are gone. But we can definitely decide to travel somewhere less fashionable or sunny to enjoy a different experience. In this article, I share the benefits and limits of travelling off-season.

My Ultimate Guide to Madeira with Kids

This February, we decided to skip winter sports, and head to the sun in beautiful Portuguese Madeira. It is a perfect island for hiking, walking, and enjoying the beach and Portuguese culture. It is a very popular island with cruise ships so it can get very busy. I would highly recommend visiting off-season for about 1 week to 10 days. So here it is, my ultimate guide to Madeira with kids.

A family adventure in Nicaragua: beaches, volcanoes & colonial charm

Seeking a Christmas break from our jungle life in Costa Rica, we embarked on an unforgettable journey to Nicaragua—blending adventure, relaxation, and cultural discovery. Our itinerary was intentionally laid-back, allowing us to soak in the beauty of the country while spending quality time together.

While Nicaragua has so much to offer, we tailored our trip to fit our family’s needs, especially with young children. Some areas remain off-limits due to safety concerns, while others are better suited for future visits when our kids are older. The Pacific coast is a well-known surfing hotspot, with options for both beginners and seasoned surfers. However, Nicaragua isn’t just about the waves—there’s a wealth of experiences beyond surfing, from colonial cities and volcanic landscapes to serene beaches and rich local culture.
