Where in the World would you like to travel with your family and kids? Check out our collection of the best places for family travel, destination advice about countries we visited, guides, stunning photos, and many tips on travel with kids based on our own experience.

Quick Links:

.

Canada

Canada is one of the best family travel destinations and has much to offer to anyone who travels with kids. (we know this ‘cuz we live here!)

Climb stunning mountains of Alberta, drive through neverending plains of Saskatchewan, hike British Columbia’s rainforest, get all you can eat lobster at Nova Scotia, watch jaw-dropping auroras of Yukon, dance at buzzing cultural festivals of Toronto… You can see now how any family with kids or without will find a special place to add to their travel bucket-list!

Visit Canada

.

Cuba

Cuba is a unique travel destination that is being very much underestimated. Too bad… as this country of sugar cane, classic cars, long white sand beaches, and the warmest people is lovely. To be honest, Cuba has stolen our hearts as one of the best places to travel with kids! Our 4yo Cosmos is absolutely in love with Cuba!

Visit Cuba

.

India

India is quite controversial. Many families may feel intimidated to travel with kids to this country of spice, tea, and neverending dance. Don’t worry, we got you covered! Your next travel to India with your family will be one of the best experiences of your life!

Visit India

.

United States of America

The USA is an excellent place to travel with kids. As one of the most developed countries in the World, it has a whole industry focused on family travel. Beautiful nature, theme parks, countless attractions, and entertainment options, along with comfortable hotels and every food form or cuisine style imaginable – the USA truly rocks.

Travel Tips & Hacks

We LOVE to travel. We’ve been to 4 continents, 20+ countries, 200+ cities. We traveled solo, as a couple, and as a family. Our son Cosmos ventured out on his first international vacation when he was just 5 months old (to Cuba)!

Here we’ll share our collection of travel tips, advice, and life-hacks, everything from how to find more time and money to travel, to travel safety, to planning and packing lists, to apps and technology you family would definitely want to use visiting a particular destination, and much much more!

We are excited to share the best of our journeys with all of you!

Enjoy!
