Booking flights

We have always used Kayak to book our flights. I have tried other search engines but always default back. Unless I am completely tied to specific dates, I always search the entire month for the most reasonably priced flights.

I also select direct flights only. Although they are more expensive in some instances, I need the easier and quickest route with a young family. Search for flights using Kayak here.

Car rentals

If you are headed on a road trip or just want the freedom to get around your destinations whenever and however you like, you may need a rental car.

We like Kayak because they compare prices from most the rental agencies to get you the best price. To start searching for rental cars click here.

Health Insurance

So many people don’t think to get health insurance until the first time they get sick on vacation. Hopefully you don’t learn that you need health insurance the hard way because you can end up with huge medical bills.

When we travel we always use WorldNomads. They tend to give a good price and really good coverage. Make sure to look into what exactly is covered by your health insurance if you go with a different insurance.

Tours

Maybe you want a few hour neighborhood tour or a more adventurous off-road adventure. We always check on GetYourGuide. They’ve got a huge range of tours, from the run of the mill to the unique and exciting.

Travel Wifi

Whenever we travel we use the Solis Hotspot device. It’s so easy to use and provides really great WiFi. You can check out our full review here.

Best eSIM for travel with kids? That’s something I’ve been searching for during our family adventures. Travelling with children is one of the most rewarding experiences, but it also comes with its fair share of logistics.

If you will be flying with twins, I’ve got your back! As a twin mom, I have flown to several international destinations as babies and toddlers with my twins.

There are a number of people that don’t agree with my decision to travel during maternity leave. I have learnt this through the backlash I received in the media when our story went viral. People’s concerns were always the same – “You’re selfish, this is about you, not the baby” or “What about travel vaccinations?” or […]

Nearly four years ago, we moved to Sri Lanka with our four kids and, somewhat randomly, chose Unawatuna as our new home. At the time, we had no idea how well it would work for our family. Now, after years of exploring its beaches, cafés, temples, and surrounding countryside, we have our guide to the […]

I’ve lived in Sri Lanka for three and a half years and have a slightly embarrassing confession: some of my kids understand considerably more Sinhala than I do. I’ve always put off properly learning the language. I think I had this idea that if I was going to invest time in another language, I’d choose […]
