EL Nido, Palawan
Its Neat’o Palawan has been on the bucket list for some years, we just hadn’t managed time to get there. We were time poor with only ten days inclusive of travel days to make a break for it. The trip was for Locks birthday – I wanted an escape with little travel time, and thankfully…

The Mauritian Paradise
I last left you in Australia, where our little family was living the van life doing the great Australian lap. While our touring in Izzie had been magical, we were itching for a tropical getaway. The opportunity presented itself after a week in Sydney celebrating the nuptials of Uncle Bush and Aunty Sezzie. Flights were…

My Tokyo
After 4 long years based in Tokyo, one would hope that I would have a book full of tricks to survive here…?? We live in the heart of Tokyo better known as the Minato-ku district. It’s a great spot to be. We are in close proximity to Tamachi station – Tamachi connects to both Haneda…

Dolomites * Italy
I am rubbish at organising surprises, probably because I loathe them myself and I get far too excited when I am trying to plan something, so then I blurt it out. I need to know what’s going on – always! But this year, I wanted to make Father’s Day special. Lock isn’t hard to please…

For The Love of Lemons
It was time to gain our sea legs and try a new style of adventure – exploring the Mediterranean by sail! What better timing than now – during the peak of Riley’s locomotion, crawling and eager to climb. Baby overboard! We booked a bareboat charter as dad has his skipper’s licence from a few…

Mother’s Day
As dad puts on his uniform and packs for work, we make an impulse decision to join him. He was heading to Bangkok for a few days and we thought why not follow? After scrambling together our bags, snacks and bottles, we too were packed and ready to race out the door. We make the…

Riley hits the Cook Islands
There is more to the South Pacific than just Fiji. Okay yes, Fiji is one of the top destination’s for Australians and Kiwis to escape the cold winter months and its reputation won’t fail you, with perfect beaches, great locals and, more importantly, a kids club. However, after travelling to a majority of the islands,…

Jetpack
I recently read a discussion on the world schoolers Facebook page regarding items travelling families take away with them, and nifty ideas of how to reduce their load. This brings me to Riley’s jetpack, basically our life changing must haves!! We have already lost two bags, accidentally checked in nappies, brought chemist items in airports…

Flight Mode
Chicken, fish, cold instant coffee and a meal older than the the queen, mix in grumpy tired pax expecting you make their seat larger, recline further and remove the gum from their tray table. Here I was thinking my inflight days were now only those of bloody Mary’s and a movie marathon, I couldn’t…
