Travel with kids tips & inspo ๐ŸŒ๐ŸŒบ Creative family ideas ๐ŸŒŸ Saved by grace โžก๏ธ Follow our adventures!

A day exploring London with four kids! โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง

Here are a few of our favorite family-friendly spots ๐Ÿ‘‡

โœจ Big Ben & the London Eye โ€“ Iconic landmarks and amazing views around Westminster.

๐ŸŒ‰ Tower Bridge โ€“ An interactive, educational stop that our kids absolutely loved!

๐Ÿ›๏ธ British Museum โ€“ We explored Egyptian and Assyrian exhibits and even saw the Rosetta Stone! ๐Ÿคฏ

๐Ÿ›๏ธ Liberty London โ€“ 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! ๐Ÿ’‚โ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’™

โžก๏ธ 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! โœจ 

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

Weโ€™ve loved discovering ways to travel that feel authentic and affordable! 

๐Ÿ  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 โ€” like we do all around the world! Use your points to stay in memorable homes, or exchange your home directly. Weโ€™ve done both and made some unforgettable memories along the way!

๐Ÿฑ Trusted Housesitters is another great housing resource. These arranged stays typically include caring for someoneโ€™s pets, while staying at their house. Weโ€™ve stayed in many beautiful homes in exchange for petsitting dogs, cats, and chickens!

๐ŸŒ Servas allows travelers to connect with hosts all around the world. Weโ€™ve stayed in a familyโ€™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! ๐Ÿ’› Itโ€™s only tricky if you donโ€™t speak the same language! ๐Ÿ˜† 

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

๐ŸŒŸ Which housing resource sounds the most interesting to you?

Hi! Weโ€™re the Wallace family. ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿ˜€ We love traveling with our 4 kids, homeschooling, and exploring.

๐Ÿ“Pitigliano, Italy is perfect for babies to exp ๐Ÿ“Pitigliano, Italy is perfect for babies to explore, along with the whole family! This little cliffside village felt like weโ€™d stepped into a storybook. ๐Ÿฐโœจ

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. ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ’›

๐ŸŒฟ 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?? ๐Ÿ˜†

These mobile laundry machines were actually so helpful. We could wash and dry our whole familyโ€™s clothes while we had lunch nearby! ๐Ÿ‘š๐Ÿ‘—๐Ÿ‘•๐Ÿ‘–

After using these gas station laundry machines, our clothes were clean and dry โ€” ready for our next adventure! โ˜€๏ธ

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

Watch my next reel to learn how we pack for our family of six!

Secrets revealed ๐ŸŒ for family travel & worldsch Secrets revealed ๐ŸŒ for family travel & worldschooling!

These tips make traveling with kids ALOT easier!

๐Ÿ“š 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. 

๐Ÿฐ 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!

๐ŸŽง Downtime: We often have rest time while traveling. We read books or listen to audio books and music. ย 

๐Ÿ’ถ 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. ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ˜€

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