Dream of Voyagers

We finally made it here 🎉

📍 Casas Típicas de Santana

As you guys know we have gone to Madeira 1837284 times but never actually made it here 😅

I mean I did with Flynn but never with Matt 🙈 so this time we made sure we came here! Unfortunately it was a Sunday so it was suuuuuuuper busy! 🤣

But still worth it! Note to self this cobble stone is not stroller friendly 😅 it was hard to mover around and a lot of fighting with the stroller 🫠😅

How cute are these houses though? 🥰

A very popular but a must see place in Madeira Island 🤩

📍 Miradouro do Guindaste

Besides the glorious views in this view point there is also 2 glass platforms that you can see the sea underneath 🤩
- it’s not a the best place if you are afraid of heights, but worth it for the views 🥰

It can get very windy here so make sure you hold on to your hats as mine flew off and we saw several others too 🙈

Curious who here is afraid of heights?

A beach not to miss in the French Riviera! 😍

📍 St Aygulf Plage

This is actually Flynn’s first beach when he was just under 6 months 🥰

And honestly it’s so perfect if you have little kids. It’s sandy, quite big & the sea is super calm 🙏🏻

However, it is popular! Specially in August, so we would recommend going early morning which is the best time to visit 🙏🏻

It’s also a great spot to watch the sunset, which lots of people do here. They come to beach after 5pm and stay until the sun has set and have a picnic - we do this quite often and it’s super fun!

I will be sharing more about France for the coming months, so let us know if there is anything in particular you would love to see about the South of France 🥰

A place I can’t wait to visit again this summer 🤩

We have been visiting this lake since we moved here and even before that when we would just come on holidays 🙈

It’s the perfect combination of great views, fresh water and nice weather! You really can’t go wrong!! 🤩

📍 Lac St Croix is a large, man-made lake, known for its turquoise waters and stunning surroundings, making it the perfect place for swimming, sailing, canoeing, kayaking, and paddleboarding.
- you can rent most of these at the lake

The beaches around the lake are perfect for relaxation and picnicking, and there are several campsites and holiday rentals nearby.

Would you prefer the beach or the lake for swimming?

Unmissable town when in French Riviera 👇🏻

📍 Port Grimaud

Port Grimaud is a charming Provençal-style town located by Saint-Tropez

This town in know as known as the "Venice of Provence" by being surrounded by canals, cute bridges and colourful houses!

It’s perfect place to visit with a local market and lots of restaurants and bars. And a great beach where you can spend the day with your little ones!

Just be aware that parking is super expensive here, so be prepared for that.

Who here has heard of this town?

One of my favourite moments 🥰

This was over a year ago, our first morning in .residence 😍

Flynn woke up too early due to the the time difference and we got to enjoy the most awesome sunrise together 🥰

Perfect way to start our week in Crete ❤️

And of course, where we met and we blossomed our friendship with lots of food and drinks 🤣

Do you have a place you have visited that has a special memory like this?

One mistake we made while at Disney Paris😱

☔️ didn’t bring any rain protection ☔️

It rained A LOT! For short periods of time but it poured! 🫠

I normally always carry it with me but somehow I trusted the weather app before leaving and left it all at home! 🙈 oh well lesson learned 😅

Do you always carry a rain cover for safety? Or are you a little bit like me 🤣

A must visit place in Madeira Island - Part 2

📍 Praia do Garajau

First you get the cable car down which is super fun for the little ones & adults 🙏🏻

It also know for being a reserve for sea life which means you can see dolphins or whales right from the beach. We were very lucky and got to see quite a few dolphins 🐬

Lastly, being a pebble beach we definitely recommend beach shoes so you can go for a swim without a struggle 😉

Would you swim here?

My favourite thing about flying solo with my toddler ✈️

Is the bonding time.

I try and make the most of the time inside an airplane when alone with my toddler. It’s the perfect time to be there present and to actually spend some quality time 🙏🏻

Of course I still get him to sleep if needed and enjoy that time too with a glass of wine, but when he is awake I do my best to be involved 🤩
- join our workshop on the 19th of February and learned all you need to know about getting your baby/toddler sleeping when flying 👌🏻

Incredible Sunrise spot in Madeira Island 🇵🇹

📍 Ponta de São Lourenço

Every time we visit the island we always come here to watch the sunrise 🤩

2022 vs 2021

29/11/2022

When I first saw this photo my first thought was I will never post these 😱

But I had to stop myself, and remind myself that MY BODY even though is not your “standard fit” body is one that provided a home for my boy to grow for 9months and instead of being harsh to it I should appreciate it and be grateful.

Plus this moment was such a fun and beautiful moment spent together as a family that brought the biggest smile to my face while remembering it 🥰🥰

Oh but yes it is hard, it is hard thinking about how I looked before and what I look now, and accepting that “bouncing back” is actually not the norm!!

However, I came to realise that I have so much more in my life than just my body! Is not only just about my body figure is about where it has taken me and where it will take me! ♥️

It is hard to accept but eventually we get there, loving yourself is the best gift you can give yourself right now 🥰

Much love to everyone struggling with this post partum body! I understand what you are going through and you are not alone ♥️

Still dreaming about the sunrises in Bali 🤩

The sunrises in Bali at this time are pretty early (not sure if it’s a all year round thing) but yea before 6am you can already experience this beauty 🤩

And now you may be wondering how and why were we up so early? Well the answer to that is Flynn went a bit off schedule for a few weeks and he kept waking up before 6am asking for food 🫠

But at least we got to see this beauty 🥰

Would you wake up early for a sunrise?

09/11/2022

The one thing we loved the most about Bali! 👇🏻

The simplicity of it all 🥰

The people, the views, the food, the beaches, the nature, everything was just so simple yet so mesmerising and breathtaking 🥰

I feel completely grateful that we got the possibility to visit this place and that we were there as a family of three! Nothing beats being able to share this with our boy ♥️
- oh and of course being there with 😋🥰

What’s the one thing you look forward to when you visit somewhere new?

And that’s a wrap on our first visit to Bali ♥️

We had the most amazing 4 in this not so little paradise! Would I stay longer? Oh yes for sure!! 🤩

We had the most amazing time catching up with and work on our dream business 🥰

Got to visit the most amazing places, eat delicious foods & meet the kindest people 💕

And yes it was not all cupcakes and rainbows 🤣 we had tantrums, we had some sick days with colds & stomach viruses and we got lazy days!

But would I change anything? NOPE!
Travelling with your family doesn’t mean the “bad stuff” will go away unfortunately 🙈🫠 but at least there is a better view & possibly warmer weather 🤣

Am I right? 😋

St Sebastian’s journey so far 👇🏻

🏝 we have been to the beach every single day
🌯 we have had amazing food (Pintxos are the most amazing thing you can have here! You basically stop for a drink and order one item and move on to the next bar)
🍦 have eaten incredible ice cream! Or at least half until Flynn realises and steals the rest 😂
🗾 the views are breathtaking
😫 tantrums because Flynn doesn’t want to walk with shoes
😭 lots of tears because he’s not allowed to drink alcohol
🙀 screams because mummy needs to p*e and he can’t come along

But at least we have all the other good stuff that overweights the not so great things 😜

May this be a reminder that wherever you go bad things or not so pleasant things will happen! But like at home you can deal with it and you will have all the good memories when you return home 🫶🏼

Now let’s talk about this view though? 😱 how gorgeous is this town? 🤩

What makes a destination Family Friendly? 😱

For us this one is quite simple… we choose our destinations to where we would like to visit (so we don’t put too many restrictions on it) but mainly our number one question is:

👉🏻 are there children in this new country? 👧🧒

As long as there are kids it will always be child friendly, you will always find a playground and you will always find diapers at the supermarket 🙏🏻

Obviously we do take in consideration the current affairs of the world … and we look to travel to safe countries at the present time! 🙏🏻

But I will also say this is a very subjective topic, as this is how we look at new destinations and how we choose them! 😋

How do you pick your next destination?

7 activities to add to your itinerary wherever you go:

Sometimes we all need a little bit of inspiration on what to do when visiting somewhere new, specially with kids. 😅

You always need to think about a few activities that they will enjoy as well, so here are 7 that you can easily add one or two to your travel itinerary 🙏🏻

👉🏻Playgrounds
👉🏻Soft play gym (for the forecast days)
👉🏻Amusement Park
👉🏻Zoo or animal farm
👉🏻Aquarium
👉🏻Cinema or theatre
👉🏻Water Park (for the summer destinations)
👉🏻BONUS - Sledding (for the winter destinations)

These are quite simple places or activities but in a child's mind it is quite the treat, 🤩 add some special snacks to the trip and you are golden! 😚

Sometimes we are so foccused on what we want to see that we forget about the little humans we bring along with us, so I find that is good to stop and find at least one or two activities that are more fun for Flynn than for us.🎉
- Ok, we do love all of these too so we also have lots of fun. 😂

What type of activities you like to include in your trips? 🥰
