Visiting Chile’s Atacama Desert with Kids If you think the driest place on earth is not fit for a baby, you’re probably right. Between the elevation, the heat, the cold, and the sheer vastness of this desolate place, anything can happen. But we were already in Chile, and we’re not going to be coming back […]
I was pretty nervous about visiting Atacama with Kids since it’s not the most welcoming place to bring little ones. But it turned out to be one of the coolest experiences!
With a toddler, of course 😉 1. Small villages in Western Austria Pick any small town in the province of Salzburg, and stay there for a few days soaking in the views and taking day trips to nearby lakes and hikes. We were looking for a home base Airbnb that would be close enough to […]
Sevilla I loved everything about this city. Of the larger Spanish cities we visited (Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla), this was by far my favourite. From the beautiful Moorish architecture, to the Flamenco dancers at Plaza de España and the gardens at the Alcazar – this city was a photographer’s playground. I even felt safe enough to […]
We managed to do much better this year, compared to last year – didn’t get mugged, stranded, hospitalized, or scammed! 1. (Not) Stargazing in Westcliffe Went on a road trip for some stargazing in one of the designated International Dark Sky areas in Westcliffe, Colorado, without checking the forecast. It was cloudy, rainy, and cold. Needless […]
We found all of Germany to be extremely child friendly, but this area in particular blew everything else out of the water! Here are some of the highlights around Bavaria that are baby and toddler friendly 1. The views from Garmisch-Partenkirchen Let me just start with the fact that this was the view from our […]
TL;DR – got stranded in the middle of the highway for 4 hours because of mechanical failure. Lessons learned – ask to see the car history of the car you’re renting. And if it’s been to the mechanic a thousand times for battery problems, maybe ask for a different car. When I was initially planning […]
One of the tricky parts about traveling with a baby is that your day is broken up into Before First Nap, Post First Nap and After Second nap (sometimes even After Third Nap!). Forget AMs and PMs – we had a whole other time system to maintain, which would sometimes present a fairly complex scheduling […]
Portugal is absolutely phenomenal for traveling with a baby. 5/5 would recommend. We didn’t quite realize the extent of this until our day trip to Sintra from Lisbon. Sintra is an easy 1-hour train ride from Lisbon, with great signage and accessible transportation. The only not-so-easy part was buying the train tickets. Luckily for us, […]
This trip was going to have its own set of challenges – A is no longer exclusively breastfed so we have to find food for her, she is getting pretty heavy so we have to carry around a stroller, AND she is now a full on crawling-almost-walking machine! No more Japanese-style everyone-sleeps-in-one-bed-on-the floor. We now […]
