DOWNLOAD EBOOKHave kids, will travel aims to encourage parents with children of all ages to carry on travelling independently rather than put their travelling lifestyle on hold. I have often heard the phrase: "we travelled a lot before the children." I wanted to challenge this perception and prove it can be done with some foresight and planning, using my experiences as an example. Often, when I have travelled with children, I have been challenged by people who cite the cost and inconvenience as a barrier to travelling with young families. This was one of the main motivations which inspired me to prove that this way of travelling is achievable at a relatively low cost without compromising your budget or your holiday. This book gives a taste of various unforgettable experiences that can be had with your children in a wide range of locales across the globe covering a period of thirty years. I encountered many challenges relating to the period and changing age of the children. With the ever-changing global political landscape, some of the countries listed in this book are less safe than they were before. However, I would like to stress that today it is easier and safer to travel to more places than ever before. These journeys and experiences showcased in this book show that this kind of travel is doable and meaningful. Nowadays, travel has become ever more convenient and secure thanks to today's technology being at our fingertips. With so much opportunity, I believe travelling with children can be immensely rewarding and broadens the mind of young children and adults alike and this "unconventional" style of travelling should be regarded as not only doable but also highly encouraged.
