Free & Easy Travel with my Monster Kids

Travelling with kids can be a tedious and tiring job. Think of all the packing, the lugging and the washing that comes after that...

Holiday Packing List (for winter)

We used to travel with group tours when the children were younger as we thought it would be troublesome to drag 2 kids around on public transport. Group tours solve this problem by providing transport. However, there are cons as well. Group tour itinerary tend to be packed and can be too tiring for kids. It is also difficult to find an itinerary that caters more for kids.

As they get older, we think that free and easy travel is a better option for our family. Just make sure to do your homework before embarking on any trip.
