Sharing is caring!

Where do you go for holiday inspiration? For me, reading blogs is part of my daily travel planning fix. I love getting recommendations on places to go, where to eat and what to see while we’re on our travels from people I relate to. That’s the great thing about the rise of blogging! But with what feels like 20 zillion new blogs popping up every few seconds, how do I know where to start?

Here’s five top family travel blogs who I genuinely read a lot and think you’ll enjoy too. All share aspirational family travel and no-nonsense tips for making travel with kids easier.

Grab a glass of wine (because I know that’s how these ladies roll) and enjoy these must read travel blogs for 2018:

Top family travel blogs

With a young baby in tow, who has already been abroad three times before his first birthday, My Travel Monkey seeks to put paid to the belief that you cannot explore far and wide with a young family – their adventures so far have included South Africa, Iceland and Thailand.

globetotting

Katja is a travel writer and mum of three who has recently returned to the UK after nearly 12 years living abroad in Australia, India and, most recently, Mexico (with a child born in each country!).

Having previously written for publications including Lonely Planet and Mr & Mrs Smith, Katja established globetotting when she saw a gap in the market for adventurous family travel.

Since then she has trekked in Nepal with toddlers, learned to cook in Guatemala with kids, taken the family skiing in Finnish Lapland and much more. 2018 is the year of new adventures in London, the UK and beyond.

Follow along to see why Katja believes that children make the best travel companions…most of the time!

Dais Like These Family Travel Blog

After travelling as a couple, Daisy and her husband embarked on their first official family travel adventure when their eldest child was just three months old, and they haven’t looked back!

Nearly 10 years after that first trip, and with a few more additions to the Dais Like These family along the way, they still love nothing more than packing up and heading off on a new adventure; from local days out in London and Surrey, to exciting trips further afield such as New York City and Long Island.

Daisy is passionate about promoting family travel and through Dais Like These Family Travel Blog she aims to inspire other families to try new destinations with their kids.

This year is set to be be an amazing year for Daisy and her family, as they plan to head to Ile de Porquerolles in France (an island they fell in love with last year) for a whole month, with their kids attending the local school while they are there.

Not only will they be exploring the beautiful island itself, they will spend their weekends discovering the stunning Côte d’Azur and all it has to offer for families.

Facebook and Video is a key focus for Mini Travellers and you can find their most recent video of Lapland here.
