T.r.a.v.e.l. + b.a.b.e.s


.Travel.


    Life enriching.  

{Nothing quite compares to the feeling of freedom travel

 instills inside you} 






The lust for wandering globally need not be suppressed once you
have started a family. Babes + children are incredible travel
partners. Every sight, sound, smell, their entire environment 

is brand new & their uncontainable excitement to explore is intoxicatingly contagious.  


Travel is one of the best educational tools you could possibly
equip your child. You are inadvertently instilling a deep awareness of the diversity of our planet; the environment, and their fellow people, all with differing cultures and practices. They are first handedly experiencing life lessons of empathy,
tolerance, exploration and social interaction. 


Thus far in my own daughters life, we have had the absolute privilege to open her eyes & mind to overseas travel. The 3 of us traveled through New Zealand when she was 5 months old, and when she was 10 months old, Luki & I journyed to Japan (alongside another young, traveled obsessed mama and her 9 month old son). Both trips were exhilarating experiences and at times utterly exhausting, and a far cry from my previous solo backpacking escapades. Shall I dare to share one tip for travelling with babes, absolutely have a good baby carrier, listen to one another, and be flexible. Alas, babes are so portable at that age & enjoy exploring and wandering as much as you. 
   












Travelling. Wandering. Exploring. Getting lost. Finding your way again. Learning. Adapting. Evolving. 


Include your children and grow together.

Are you a travelling mama? Does your little family thrive on adventures together? Get in touch/comment, we'd love to hear from you & share your story x





  I am not one usually for an inspirational / life quote, however I feel this one reigns true... 




'It is good to have a destination to journey towards ~ but it is 
the journey that matters in the end'
~ Ursula Le Guin
