“Life is for loving”

Homepage: The Backpacking Family

Travel style: Adventure travel, itineraries, unique place to stay and flying with kids

Authority: UK and Southeast Asia

Ok, let’s take a moment to shamelessly introduce ourselves before we roll on. We are a full time travel family who run a YouTube channel and this rather lovely family travel website.  Our name  ‘The Backpacking family’ captures our travel style in that we love learning about the world through exploring.  From sleeping under the stars to living it up in 5 stars, we love all life has to offer.  Adventure brings us to life and helps us grow closer together as a family.  We love jumping into local culture through exploring lesser known destinations, spending time with locals and trying local food.

We’re a family of 5, Pete, Emma, Hudson, Darien and a new baby ready to make their debut soon.  And we travel full time as digital nomads and worldschool our children as we go. Family travel for us is about creating more space for quality family time together.  With 12 years of travel experience we have picked up a lot of epic and essential travel tips that we now share on our own family travel blog to help inspire and equip other families to experience more of the world.  Whether you’re travelling on budget or splashing out on a dream holiday, our blogs about family travel are packed with inspo and tips that help you see more of the world for less.

If you want to get to know each other more, our YouTube is where we share our greatest adventures and mishaps as we go.  If you want to up your travel game our family travel blog is expanding rapidly and is packed with the latest tips and inspo with a new blog up pretty much every day.  

2 Wonders within Reach

“You can take on the wonders of the world with wheels!”

Homepage: Wonders within Reach

Travel style: Accessible adventures, city breaks and theme parks

Authority: USA and Europe

Ok these guys have seriously inspired us. We mentioned that we would feature a variety of families. Some of the most successful family travel blogs nail a niche. And this is possibly one of the most inspiring niches out there! In their own words, Wonders Within Reach exists for the dual purpose of inspiring and enabling families with disabilities to get out and explore and raising disability awareness within the travel community. This is one of the best blogs about family travel for children with disabilities. We don’t even want to try and put this into our own words, so check out what Jennifer says about Wonders within Reach.

Wonders within Reach share their vision

“I’ve always been a lover of all types of travel, so when we first found out that our middle child would never walk, we had to do some mental adjusting. After I got over the initial shock, I was determined to stop focusing on the “problem” and find solutions – and to help other families to do the same! Now we share as we travel and learn to help other families navigate accessible travel. Through travel, we better understand the world we live in and the people it’s made of.

Instead of fearing the different and unknown, we learn through experience that different isn’t bad, or scary, it’s just different. The more we connect with people, the more our hearts expand to include them into our worldview, and to desire justice and equality. I don’t want to stop traveling, because I don’t want to stop growing. I need my children to see people who not only look different than them, but experience life in such a different way. Prejudice is steeped in a discomfort with the unknown… so let’s make it known!”

3 Top Flight Family

“Traveling with kids doesn’t have to be draining or difficult or unpleasant.”

Homepage: Top Flight Family

Travel style: Fun, food and luxury family travel 

Authority: Everywhere. Especially the Americas and the Caribbean

Looking for luxury blogs about family travel? Top Flight Family are best known for creating an incredible luxury travel lifestyle through their work. There’s so much to learn from Top Flight Family. They are leading experts when it comes to making travel more enjoyable. They share savvy tips for choosing what to prioritise and have developed some of the most clever ways to save on all things lux. Their awesome YouTube is packed with fresh travels guides and reviews from some of the worlds top destinations. If you’re planning a city break, luxury hotel stay or are even thinking about flying first class somewhere, hop over and check out their YouTube Channel. What’s really special about Top Flight Family is the way they are building phenomenal character and life-skills into their girls – and it really shines through. Check out their website to find out whey they are one of the leading family travel blogs.

Top Flight Family share their goals

“We travel with our kids, not just because we believe that travel offers incredible learning opportunities when it comes to culture, history and geography, but because we know that travel builds life skills. Through experiencing the ups and downs of travel alongside us, our daughters have developed important life skills like resilience, patience, flexibility, stamina, optimism and resourcefulness. These are skills that will benefit them for the rest of their lives, no matter what type of career they end up having.

Anytime we have an opportunity to save time, reduce hassle and maximize comfort, we’ll take it. Sometimes we do it in big ways, by staying in a luxury hotel or upgrading to a business class flight. And sometimes we do it in small ways, like paying a few extra bucks to take a taxi instead of the subway, or by paying for an express lane rather than wasting valuable time standing in a line. The more we can introduce comfort, ease and time savings into our trips, the more we enjoy it.

One thing I hope that our audience can learn from us is that traveling with kids doesn’t have to be draining or difficult or unpleasant. Everyone has budget constraints, but it’s all about choosing wisely when deciding what to save on versus what to splurge on. Get clear on what matters most to you, and don’t be afraid to splurge on that by saving on other things! If you’re a big foodie, stay at a cheap Airbnb instead of a fancy hotel so you can splurge on great restaurants. If you absolutely live for a good luxury hotel, save on airfare by flying a budget airline or using points and miles smartly, so that you have the budget to splurge on your accommodations.

Just because we specialize in luxury family travel doesn’t mean we splurge on every aspect of our trip! We always decide which aspect of the trip we’re willing to splurge on, and we do other aspects cheaply to make it happen!”

Looking for an innovative, creative and unique family travel blogs to follow? Check out The Travel Mum. As an ex-doctor Jen knows what hard work looks like. She has now directed her talent, creativity and commitment to develop one of the most exciting projects in family travel. The Travel Mum is all about equipping and enabling families to travel on the tightest budget – and still have an AMAZING time as a family.  With years of travel experience behind her, she has worked out ways to help families that are new to booking holidays independently do it well.

We are particularly impressed with the innovative “request a trip” concept. If you’re looking for an amazing family holiday on a budget – check out The travel Mum. Here is what Jen says about her amazing website… 

The Travel Mum shares her goals

“Hi! I’m Jen, an ex NHS doctor and avid traveller. I run The Travel Mum alongside my partner João and our three year old son, Leo. João is Portuguese, we met and fell in love whilst I was travelling in his hometown of Portimão. We absolutely love travelling together as a family and have done since Leo was just a few weeks old.

We travel every month but always on a very tight budget. Clean and comfortable for the cheapest possible price is always our goal. Prior to The Travel Mum we would post videos on TikTok of the trips we were taking, many people would comment wanting to know how we could afford to travel so often. We started sharing the prices of our trips, how we found them and tips on cutting costs. From there The Travel Mum was born.

The aim of our website is to help people travel more but spend less. We spend hours each day looking for the cheapest possible flights out there, we then pair them with a great value hotel to allow people to get away on a tight budget. This helps couples, families and solo travellers with low income get away and explore the world. We regularly find trips for less than £100pp! 

The Travel Mum has a premium side to the website that allows people to “Request a trip” – This is a personalised service where we will search everything that is available and provide the cheapest options for the member’s specific needs. We check DIY deals (booking flights and hotel separately) alongside package prices, to make sure the prices we provide are the best value. And we have kept the annual subscription fee at just £24 for the whole year, making it affordable for everyone to access the service. 

We have a new website being developed that will be released in April 2023. It will have some major updates that will make finding cheap trips simple for all.”

This legend, mummy and family travel influencer has an epic website, a youtube channel and a super-successful TikTok. Hangry specializes in Australia, Japan and Southeast Asia. Tina runs Hangry by Nature and we absolutely love her way with words.

Hangry by Nature shares her vision

“People always say that life ends after having kids, I mean – it’s true to an extent, but I refuse to accept such a miserable and bleak prospective future. It’s probably the end of sanity as you know it, but I like to also think that life begins. We can’t nearly begin to tell you how much travel means to us. From the memories we hold onto dearly from the days our parents gallivanted us around the world until this very day – our nomadic tendencies never left us. When we settle in one place for too long, we get a serious case of FOMO.

Travel inspired us to leave our traditional jobs, harness our creative talents and turn Hangry By Nature into our full-time jobs. It has taught us how to tolerate one another 24/7 without strangling each other, it has given us cultural awareness and blessed us with the ability to reflect on our strengths and weaknesses. Most precious of all, it has allowed us to spend time together as a family and create memories that matter. From our adventures (and misadventures), we want to pass knowledge and inspiration (infused with a helluva lot of humour) to families who love to travel as much as we do. We hope that our practical travel guides and informative YouTube videos provide value and ease when you plan your itineraries.”

The FUNemployed share their story

“We’re Ben, Kelly, Liesel and Mason and we’re The FUNemployed Family! After a decade climbing the corporate ladder and settling into an unfulfilling suburban life, we realized our current path wasn’t mental health sustainable and we needed a change. We quit our jobs, sold our home and took off on a yearlong, 25 country trip around the world with our toddler. Our goal was to reset our lives, focus on what’s most important, spend more time together as a family and experience the world.

Three years later, we’re still going strong as a digital nomad family experiencing the world with our kids while we work remotely in finance and content creation along the way. Our goal is to encourage others to live a life of “experiences over things” and to not wait until retirement to travel. Our time with kids is fleeting and it’s worth making tough life changes now to ensure we live with no regrets. We share tips for traveling with young kids and family friendly destinations and hotels around the world!”

8 The Jetsetting Family

“What if we didn’t really want to spend time at work away from the kids during their most formative years, just so we could accumulate savings that would allow us to buy our “dream home” years down the line, just in time for the kids to leave the house anyway?”

In 2018, Jess and Rod were at a crossroads. They could continue their careers as accountants and aerospace engineers, or they could take a leap of faith to chase their dream of freedom, flexibility, and spending more time together. They made the decision to quit their jobs, sell most of their stuff, and start traveling the world full-time as content creators with their two young kids. Since then, they’ve visited over 50 countries while working on photography, videography, and social media campaigns with travel and hospitality brands. During the pandemic they settled in Florida and are now constantly planning their next trip as well as helping other families travel more together.

Their blog, The Jetsetting Family, provides recaps of their adventures, family travel guides for various destinations, and tips & tricks for traveling with kids. They also host a weekly podcast highlighting must-visit places for families as well as chats with family travel experts and fellow adventurers. For those that are looking to learn how to get free and paid sponsored trips, they launched a digital course called “The Art of the Pitch,” where they share the strategies and techniques that they use to pitch collaborations with brands. Aside from their blog, Jess and Rod are very active on Instagram (@thejetsettingfamily), where they share stories and reels about their lives as family travelers, parents, and entrepreneurs.

You can also follow their epic adventures on their youtube channel.

This is what family in Standby say about their travels

“People always told us to travel before kids because after kids you can’t travel. Those people are missing out. Traveling as a family has allowed us to create so many awesome memories! We take Olivia and Everett everywhere with us. Occasionally, we’ll do a couples trip, but for the most part we feel there’s nowhere we can’t take them. You can truly make any destination kid-friendly. Though, we do try to find family friendly hotels or rentals and activities that will be fun for them in every place we visit. The kiddos have become quite the rockstars at traveling. We often have to be flexible and they just roll with the punches. Part of the hope for this blog is to inspire other families nervous about planning a trip with kids (or maybe you already travel with kids, which is awesome!).”

“Ryan, Natalia, Benjamin and Jack – an adventure family with the focus on spending more time

outdoors as a family. We started our RV travel life in 2020 after planning it all out for two years. Initially we just wanted to travel and see all the places in the US but our journey quickly turned into much more than that. Plunging into a lifestyle so extreme (no RV or camping experience + no remote jobs) took a lot of courage and a whole lot of faith! We’ve always had a mindset of “it’ll work out one way or the other” and this lifestyle really put this mindset and our faith to the test. It’s been 2.5 years of growth, bonding, connecting, overcoming trials with some adventure

sprinkled in between.  We truly believe that life was meant to be lived, felt, experienced and shared with your loved ones. Everyday is a gift and we ought to use it, not just hope to use it one day.

They are on a mission to seek an adventurous life, chasing time, location and financial freedom, and educating themselves and their kids through the wonder of travel. Hat of to them!

Boston Tribe Travels is an inspiring story of a family who is living their dream of traveling the world. They are a great resource for families who are considering their own world travel adventure.

Boston Tribe Travels Share Their Goals

“We’re a typical family from the UK, at least that’s what we’d like to believe (though opinions may vary!). For the past decade, we’ve lived, worked, and wandered across international borders, all the while looking for any and all opportunities to travel with kids.

Our story began in 2010, pre kids, when we made life changing choice – booking a one-way flight to Malaysia (an enticing offer from AirAsia at a mere £99!). With a head full wanderlust and insufficient bank balance, we embarked on an adventure that would impact our choices forever, traveling for as long as our funds would allow.

Six months later, reality caught up with us, and we found ourselves counting pennies. In pursuit of this dream, we discussed how could we make this our full time life, we ventured to South Korea, where we embarked on a new chapter teaching English.

Two years and a baby later, we realised that teaching could be our gateway to maintaining an international lifestyle. We briefly returned to England for fully qualified teacher training and welcomed another little rascal into our family before finding ourselves in North Cyprus, teaching at an international school.

From Cyprus, our journey took us to the lush landscapes of Brunei in Southeast Asia, where we spent the next five years surrounded by the  jungle. However, when the grip of the pandemic locked down the country, we were stuck within its borders. It was during this time of reflection that we made a commitment to truly living life (didn’t we all?)“

The Y travel blog have a super useful and VERY extensive website which aims to equip, inform and inspire. They also have an excellent section devoted to Online Business & and Travel Blogging tips. Here is some more of their story: 

Craig and Caroline Makepeace have been living and traveling around the world since 1997. They turned their passion for travel and inspiring others to live a values-based life into creating one of the world’s biggest travel blogs, which has been recognized by the White House twice.

For them, a life without travel is like trying to drink water from a straw with holes in it. It just doesn’t work. So, putting travel at the center of their life has been a necessity, more than a want. When everyone gleefully tried to tell them their “travels were now over” once they had kids. They gleefully said, “We’ll show you!

Since 2010, they’ve been blogging about their family’s global travel adventures, which has included an 18-month road trip around Australia and an 11-month USA RV trip. They recently took a 2 week trip to London and will be kickstarting 2023 with a vacation in the Bahamas. Yep, we’re a little jealous of this one!

These Aussies are now settled in Raleigh, North Carolina, but continue to travel on shorter style vacations (sometimes sans kids!). They’re really proving that travel does not have to stop once you have kids, and it can evolve with your lifestyle.

Our shared love of travel is one of the things that first brought us together, having both had incredible experiences exploring the world solo. As our family grew, we balanced work, family, and travel as best we could, but this all changed during lockdown. During these strange days, we found immense joy and fulfilment in spending quality time with our children, engaging in their education and development.

This experience inspired us, and as of November 2023, we have started a new chapter of our travel adventures with our two wonderful daughters, Georgia and Eva. We have sold up and left the day-to-day behind to spend 18 months exploring new cultures, breathtaking landscapes, bustling cities, and the remote corners of the globe. Our blog is a fusion of a travel guide and authentic family stories, where we share our experiences and offer an unfiltered look at life on the road as we educate our children through astonishment as citizens of the world.

Our Globetrotters share their story

“In a prior life I worked as a Chartered Accountant in Melbourne, Australia then London, UK but I have put my full-time career on hold to focus on my young children, writing, share trading, joining countless committees and in my remaining time learning more about the world through the friends I meet and of course, my travels. From street stalls in Asia to beer cafes in Belgium I regularly traveled for over 10 years prior to having my first child in 2010.

I assumed from this point onward my travel days would be numbered; but as my daughter’s passport is testament to, she had already visited five continents and clocked up 100,000 air miles with us by the tender age of three. With three children now in tow, my travel experiences have certainly changed – and our combined air miles sit well over 1,000,000! – but our travels are still rewarding. The Globetrotters Blog draws on my own travel experiences and the advice I have gathered from fellow traveling parents, as well as what I have learnt about different cultures and how the expatriate life affects parenting.”

World Travel Family share their story

“We decided travel was the best possible lifestyle our family and we have no regrets at all about travelling with the kids for so long. It was all wonderful and everything worked out just as we hoped it would. We travelled full time for almost 7 years with 2 kids until Covid caught up with us and we found ourselves stuck behind closed borders in Australia for a while.

During that period (after quietly losing our sanity through being stuck) we bought a farm with the aim of being as self-sufficient as possible while maintaining and improving the land and supporting our native wildlife. We all got involved in volunteering and conservation efforts locally, particularly protecting The Great Barrier Reef, which is on our doorstep. We just had to make the most of the hand we were dealt during those years and some of it wasn’t easy. We’re about to set off again. We have a big trip booked for just after Christmas, at least 6 countries on the itinerary so far including Bali, Thailand, Greece, Jordan and home to the UK.”

Wanderlust and Wet wipes bio 

“Since I started this blog, it has become my passion to talk to other families like us about how to make travelling with kids not just easier but something that is super fun for everyone. I truly believe in the many many benefits of family travel (as long as it isn’t stressful!) and in how you can make lasting, positive memories with your children.

I want to empower you and your family to take holidays that you might think are beyond your reach now that you have kids because until recently that was ME! Now don’t get me wrong, this is not (necessarily) about having the same holiday that you had pre-children, nor is it to say that everyone should take their kids backpacking in India for 6 months. Although… if you want to and can do either of those things then good for you!

It’s about understanding that there are ways to have the holiday YOU want to have but that also works for your kids. There’s truly is no right or wrong to family travel. Every person and every family is unique and it stands to reason that the holidays that they take will be too. And that’s exactly as it should be.”

Here is what Together we Roam say about their website

“Together, we have worked, lived and traveled to 74 countries and counting. We continue to roam with two little monkeys, starting in our own backyard of Queensland, Australia’s Sunshine State. I’m happiest when my little family and I are traipsing across Brisbane in search of the best bowl of Pho, exploring the city’s new laneways and street art, playing at South Banks GOMA or kicking back on one of the many glorious Queensland beaches. Happier still trailing behind little people, wheeling little suitcases on to airplanes, bound for new destinations. Though I wish for eternal holidays, there’s always the juggles of motherhood; there’s child wrangling, school drop offs, homework and if I must …. cooking.”

Our Next Adventure share their story

“In 2015, we had achieved the American Dream: a beautiful home in the suburbs, good paying jobs, and a baby on the way. We had it all, yet still felt discontent. We’d done everything we were supposed to do, so why’d it still feel like something was missing? That’s when we realized, in this life of schedules and predictability, we had lost of our sense of adventure. We knew we needed to make a change. So 3 weeks before our daughter Evelyn was born (probably not the most opportune time, eh?), we decided we would finally make travel a priority! Even if it meant doing so while navigating this new adventure in parenthood! 

Now, 4 years and 2 kids later, we’re adventuring more than ever before! And we’ve learned to balance our life at home with a life of travel, having the best of both worlds. We’ve also learned along the way that life is short, and we want to give our kids the world. Spending our time and money on experiences, rather than things, is what makes us feel whole. Whether your family is completely new to travel with kids, or simply searching for your next adventure, we hope you’ll find some practical advice and inspiration here! Because it’s never too late to choose adventure.”

Thrifty Family Travels share more of their story

“If I’m not travelling, I am day dreaming about where we should visit next or already planning the next adventure. Planning trips and creating itineraries is as exciting as travelling itself for me! I love nothing more than researching various destinations around the world, reading reviews on hotels, restaurants, and places to visit, learning how to navigate around a city, and discovering exciting activities. I have so much passion for this that I love to help out my family and friends too and plan them their dream holidays and trips around the world – which is why I started this website in 2016. The website immediately took off and so I decided to turn it into a full time career, leaving my 17 year career in the legal profession in 2017.”

Nicole draws on here impressive experience and ingenuity to make travel smooth and enjoyable with kids. Jetlag and Mayhem is a fun, up beat and helpful family travel blog with a wide destination coverage.

Nicola shares how she started Jetlag & Mayhem

“The Jetlag & Mayhem story started in 2009, as a new mum living in Hong Kong. I was about to set sail on my first solo long haul flight with a 4 month old baby.  However, I couldn’t find any resources online that resonated with me about how to travel with a baby.  I mean, where do you put the baby? How do you sterilise bottles? What do you pack? How do you stop the baby crying? Help!

I soon figured it all out (wet wipes are the answer to everything) and friends started to ask for all my tips. Rather than continually send out the same email, inspiration struck. I knew I wanted to bring together a site that shared the true story of traveling with a baby; the vomit, jetlag and beyond! Thus Jetlag & Mayhem was born and I have loved writing it ever since.”

“We are a family of 4 with a passion for traveling and adventure. I’m a teacher (great profession for travelling), my wife Connie is in project management and we have two travel-loving boys. Currently, we live in Papamoa Beach, New Zealand.

Travel has been in my blood since I was 10 years old, I was lucky enough for my parents to take my sister and me to America and Mexico for a couple of months. Though I had a wait a long time before my next adventure the moment I finished university and one year of teaching I was off. The next 12 years were about adventure and experiencing what the world had to offer. 

During this time I met my wife and together we travelled the world and lived in various countries.

By the time 2010 rolled around the first of our two kids arrived and within 4 months Lukas was travelling. When Sawyer arrived he had to wait a little longer for his first adventure… 6 months. 

We love travelling with our children. Sure the party life has mostly disappeared but the excitement of planning, visiting new destinations, watching our kids grow as world travellers especially their confidence and most importantly creating precious memories. you can’t beat family time!

We built our travel blog to help other like-minded travelling families who are keen to explore the world while not breaking the bank. If this sounds like you, check out our blog, there is something for everyone.”
