Yes, I know a few things about what it means to travel with children. We have been travelling with our own family ever since my children were born (practically). Our nomadic lifestyle leads us to many places more than once or twice a year and has made us somewhat experts in the field. This year has been just like the others, we have travelled a handful of times and we are hoping to keep the momentum onward in 2020 too.
Before we do, we’ve managed to squeeze in one last trip to Turks and Caicos and a mini trip to Miami just in time to close the year. With all of this travel my friends, family and many of you have questioned how we do it while packing lightly. It’s simple, comes down to a few travel essentials and a good attitude!
Today I will share with you, my top travel essentials – secrets I covet dearly!

Cheap and reliable fanny pack to keep all of the essentials in once convenient place. Get one for the whole family in different colours too! This one has many pockets to separate and file passports, cell phones, papers, keys and chewing gum. No shuffling through bags, a simple solution to airport lineups.
Organisation is key when you are travelling, especially when your travels require many places to visit in a short duration of time. If you are anything like I am, digital devices just don’t cut it when it comes to important information. I love the Bloom Daily Planners, they make planning fun for the whole family. I almost never leave the house without a planner of some sort. Throw it in your carry on, you never know when you have to take a note or check up on an event.
Travelling abroad can get costly, especially when the whole family depends on WiFi! This tiny savior of a hub has made a world of a difference when we travel. The Skyroam allows for up to 10 people to share unlimited 4G WiFi – plans start as little as $12 per day too! How’s that for relief? Use code LILSUGARFLY for 10% off your order too!
What are your travel essentials? I’d love to hear them!
