Jacs2020-12-11 10:11:122020-12-15 20:57:0011 Awesome Harry Potter London Experiences You Will LoveOur TOP family travel destinations
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.
ICELAND
The land of fire and ice – Iceland cannot fail to impress. Hire a car and explore the epic landscapes. There are lava fields and geysers, glaciers and volcanoes, waterfalls and black sand beaches. If you’re lucky, you might catch the Northern Lights. And contrary to popular belief, it is possible to do Iceland on a budget.
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.
FRANCE
France has everything, from its stunning beaches, to its beautiful villages and majestic mountains in the Alps and the Pyrenees. The French capital is great for kids and, of course, the French food and wine is world famous. France is also the ideal country to go camping with kids with some outstanding campsites.

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!
