Jacs2020-10-16 10:49:482020-10-23 12:18:2510 Cool Places to Go Ice Skating in London in 2020…and here are our top 4 picks for the best family travel destination in the world
Canada
Immensely beautiful and diverse – perfect road trip material! From Banff National Park‘s jewel Lake Louise to the extreme sport capital, Whistler, the vast prairie lands of Alberta where you’ll find the dinosaur capital of the world to the buzzing city life of Vancouver, it’s got the lot.
Jordan
Home to the iconic archaeological site Petra, and so much more. From the Red Sea to the Dead Sea, the jaw-dropping beauty of Wadi Rum to the Roman ruins of Jerash. Read our Jordan with kids itinerary, and the best things to do in Jordan for more info.
South Africa
One of our favourite places to travel with kids, South Africa has an incredible variety of landscapes, wildlife and beaches, plus some of the best family safari options. There’s just so much to do in South Africa with kids but one of our favourite things is visiting the wine region for some family-friendly wine tasting and having a wine farm picnic.
Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka was voted the best country in the world to visit by Lonely Planet in 2019, and it’s easy to see why. There are so many sides to the country, including Sri Lanka’s fantastic beaches, historic ruins, wildlife-filled jungles and quaint tea estates and the Sri Lankan food is some of the best in the world.

Not sure what ‘flashpacking’ is all about?
Put simply, flashpacking is a mix of backpacking and luxury travel. It has the independent vibe of backpacking with the budget (and mindset!) to allow for some splurges along the way.
There will be family-friendly budget and mid-range hotels or hostels (or places like Center Parcs), along with the odd boutique hotel or nice Airbnb thrown in. And whilst there could be a 2nd class rail trip or a long bus ride, there’s just as likely to be car hire, taxis or short flights.
We love the advantages of independent family travel, and like to mix things up. Read more about our take on flashpacking. So far, we’ve been flashpacking our way through a decent number of countries… but there are so many more on our bucket list!

![[AD] We're staycationing in Kent this half term and something that has been on my UK bucket list for a long time is a visit to @leedscastleuk⠀
⠀
It's one of the most beautiful castles in the UK with so much history (and it's very photogenic!) ⠀
This half term they have loads of activities for the kids including archery and a Halloween app trail. The grounds are also really beautiful with the stunning autumn colours.⠀
⠀
Take a look at my stories to see what we got up to. If you're thinking of going, just make sure to book your session in advance. We booked at the very last minute because we didn't know if there would be lockdowns so we didn't get a castle slot. If you've missed a slot to go inside the castle, try asking at the entrance to see if there are any on-the-day cancellations. We luckily got one! ⠀
Have you been to Leeds Castle or any other UK castles? The boys love them and they're so educational. ⠀
Hope you've had a great start to the half term!
