Looking for pro tips and resources to make travel with kids simpler? This page is stuffed full of goodies from across my UK family travel blog to inspire and point you the direction of things we love or have made life easier for us.
In case this is the first time you’ve landed on Tin Box Traveller, hi! My name is Claire and I’m a mum to two girls and wife to a Royal Navy officer. You can find out more about each of us plus our gorgeous pooch on my About us page. But in summary, we live in Devon and enjoy all types of holidays in the UK and Europe. Add to that plenty of outdoor fun and day trips, and we don’t sit still for long.
So what’s this page all about? Essentially, it’s a round up of all my family travel blog best bits.
