Travel with kids tips & inspo 🌍🌺 Creative family ideas 🌟 Saved by grace ➡️ Follow our adventures!

🌉 Destination Highlight: Tower Bridge, London!

🌉 Destination Highlight: Tower Bridge, London! 🇬🇧

Tower Bridge ended up being such a memorable stop! The walkways offer amazing views of the River Thames and the city skyline.

✨ Fun facts:

Tower Bridge opened in 1894 after eight years of construction.

It’s a bascule bridge, meaning the roadway lifts up for tall ships to pass through.

The glass floor walkways were added in 2014, giving visitors a thrilling (and slightly scary!) perspective from 138 feet above the Thames.

Our kids loved learning how the bridge lifts up using giant counterweights, and we all left with a new appreciation for London’s engineering and history. 💙

Would you be brave enough to walk across the glass floor? 😄

A day exploring London with four kids! ☀️🇬🇧

Here are a few of our favorite family-friendly spots 👇

✨ Big Ben & the London Eye – Iconic landmarks and amazing views around Westminster.

🌉 Tower Bridge – An interactive, educational stop that our kids absolutely loved!

🏛️ British Museum – We explored Egyptian and Assyrian exhibits and even saw the Rosetta Stone! 🤯

🛍️ Liberty London – A fun and colorful stop for unique souvenirs and creative inspiration.

Every corner of London had something special; so much history, beauty, and adventure for families! 💂‍♀️💙

➡️ Have you explored London with your kids yet? What was your favorite part?

We save a ton of money while traveling with these

We save a ton of money while traveling with these creative housing options! ✨

Spend more time in each place you visit and live like a local, instead of just passing through.

We’ve loved discovering ways to travel that feel authentic and affordable!

🏠 HomeExchange lets you stay in real homes that are comfy, family-friendly, and full of character. With a unique points system, you can travel flexibly — like we do all around the world! Use your points to stay in memorable homes, or exchange your home directly. We’ve done both and made some unforgettable memories along the way!

🐱 Trusted Housesitters is another great housing resource. These arranged stays typically include caring for someone’s pets, while staying at their house. We’ve stayed in many beautiful homes in exchange for petsitting dogs, cats, and chickens!

🌍 Servas allows travelers to connect with hosts all around the world. We’ve stayed in a family’s extra bedrooms or living space and enjoyed a homecooked meal, while learning about local culture. Servas hosts typically love meeting new people and hearing their stories! 💛 It’s only tricky if you don’t speak the same language! 😆

Slow travel gives kids time to explore, play, and feel at home wherever we land — and gives us parents a chance to catch our breath between adventures.

🌟 Which housing resource sounds the most interesting to you?

Hi! We’re the Wallace family. 👋😀 We love traveling with our 4 kids, homeschooling, and exploring.

📍Pitigliano, Italy is perfect for babies to explore, along with the whole family! This little cliffside village felt like we’d stepped into a storybook. 🏰✨

Our family wandered the narrow stone streets, enjoyed the views of Tuscany, and soaked up the peaceful rhythm of this ancient town. It was quiet, charming, and perfect for families who love slow travel and beautiful history. 🇮🇹💛

🌿 If you ever visit Tuscany with kids, Pitigliano is a magical spot to add to your list.

Would you do laundry in a gas station parking lot?

Would you do laundry in a gas station parking lot?? 😆

These mobile laundry machines were actually so helpful. We could wash and dry our whole family’s clothes while we had lunch nearby! 👚👗👕👖

After using these gas station laundry machines, our clothes were clean and dry — ready for our next adventure! ☀️

In Europe we are often on the go, so doing laundry efficiently is very helpful.

Secrets revealed 🌍 for family travel & worldsch

Secrets revealed 🌍 for family travel & worldschooling!

These tips make traveling with kids ALOT easier!

📚 Schoolwork: Our kids complete lessons in their workbooks several times a week. While traveling, we often bring along Math-U-See workbooks, language arts, and spelling. This keeps our kids moving forward and feeling productive.

🏰 Field trips: We go on excursions to amazing castles, fascinating museums, and interesting cultural centers. We talk about geography and science as we explore amazing places!

🎧 Downtime: We often have rest time while traveling. We read books or listen to audio books and music.

💶 Allowance: We give our kids weekly spending money. They can earn this by doing chores at our Airbnb. I also pay our kids to participate in family photos, often $5 each per city! This results in great attitudes when taking photos in Paris, Rome, or London. 📸😀

With these tips, our travel life easily becomes regular life, and we get to see amazing destinations and make memories together!

➡️ Like and comment with one place you’d LOVE to take your kids!
