Bravefreetravel A family on a mission to enjoy life to the fullest and inspire you to travel with kids.

Some of us second guess going places because of fear of not being understood… children show up and figure it out on the way, leaning on human connection, curiosity, and love. That’s a lesson for us all. 🥹

I am committed to raising global citizens, kids with an open mind and a deeply rooted love for culture, nature, and preserving the traditions that matter.

And now I have a problem, because all of us have fallen in love with this little Italian village and I want to make it my mission to show the world what places like these have to offer and why they’re worth saving.

If you are visiting Italy this year, comment ITALY and get my guide. It’s free and loaded with little off the beaten path places that actually need you to visit.

And tell me, would you take your kids to a small Italian village to learn from the locals?

True story 😂 I will take 24-72hr layovers to sightsee with the girls over one long travel day any time 👏

Traveling days are exhausting and I find it that then we spend days recovering from the trip instead of enjoying the destination.

Obviously we can do this because we have a lot of time flexibility, but even before we travelled for a living we’d try to take advantage of airline stopover services to discover even just a bit of a new destination.

This is how I do it 👇

👏 Research Google flights (and set alarms) for the best deals, usually the cheapest flights will have long layovers
👏 go to the airline website to see if you can book through them for the same or similar price (this makes it way easier to get the stopover perks)
👏 book online or call the airline for the stopover you want to have, for example Turkish airlines gives you free hotels, tours around the city etc

Note: some airlines, like Turkish Airlines, will allow you to check your baggage through to your final destination IF the layover is less than 24hrs which is great because you then don’t have to lug around your entire life with you 😜

This is how we spent a beautiful 24hrs exploring Istanbul and arrived in Rome with way less of a jet lag than we would’ve had had, we flown straight 😉

Are you team layover or take me there already??

Is the US the only place where the village isn’t available in most places?

When we travelled the world with our first, it was 2020-2022 so obviously nobody was trying to get too close to another human, we’ve now had people from Indonesia, Singapore, Japan, Turkiye and Italy hold our baby and play with her so we could eat 🥹

The village!!! 🧡

Also this kid obviously isn’t even a mother or very old, it’s so nice seeing young people value family and kids so highly 😭

Where else has this happened to you?

Japan is paying up to $33,000 to move there with your kids. 😱 and I can tell you from visiting Japan extensively 3 years in a row (and with kids) that it’s a fantastic country 🥰

Comment GRANTS and I’ll send you the full breakdown or SUSHI if you want my full guide to Japan with kids

They say a woman is reborn after every child… and with both my children, I’ve chosen to find my new version traveling 🤷‍♀️

Call me crazy, but I would 100% rather deal with whatever postpartum brings looking at this view 🥰

PS: if you are traveling to Italy with little kids, I just put together a guide with all the towns we’ve visited on this trip: none of which you will find in ANY guidebook. Unhurried, true Italian places that actually want tourists and LOVE to see little kids.
Comment ITALY and I will send it to you
