Flashpacking Family on Instagram

We came pretty late to the Instagram party… February 2019 to be precise! But we’ve been working hard since then on curating our best travel (with kids!) photography from recent years, along with some info about each destination, and sharing it all on Instagram.

Follow Flashpacking Family on Instagram to see more!

Our boy is 13!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 13 years ago our world Our boy is 13!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

13 years ago our world collapsed when we nearly died in a home renovation that went disastrously wrong. It was a dark time. 

But a few weeks later our gorgeous boy was born and the world became a better place again 👣💙💙

We could not be more proud of everything he has achieved in life to date - from protecting and being a best friend to his little brother to his incredible academic and sporting achievements. 

All I could wish for now is for life to slow down a little as he's growing too fast!

Happy 13th Birthday Ernie xxx 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
It's hard to admit but our kids spend way too much It's hard to admit but our kids spend way too much time on screens at home (although Ernie showed me a screenshot of a friend's screen usage that day.. 14 hours!!!!! 😳😳😳😳🤯🤯🤯). It's nowhere near as bad as that but could definitely be better. 

We have much less screen time when we travel and we know it means less melt downs, more engaged conversations and just less stress overall.

I wish I knew how to get the balance right at home. That's a work in progress! Any comments/suggestions welcome. 

I haven't posted much on our Central Moroccan road trip but it was AWESOME! And under £1000 for 4 of us for the week including flights and car hire in the May half term. Itinerary is in the link in Bio.

Most people fly into Naples to visit Vesuvius, Pom Most people fly into Naples to visit Vesuvius, Pompei and the Amalfi Coast and skip Naples entirely.

We're here to tell you to VISIT NAPLES 💚🤍❤️

HIGHLIGHTS:

- exploring the narrow cobbled streets of the Old Town and Spanish Quarter.

- discovering the Neapolitan's mad passion for Diego Maradona with shrines and murals adorning almost every wall.

- stopping for some of the tastiest (and cheapest street food and drinks) in Europe 🍕🍹

- visiting underground Naples, a subterranean city 40 metres below Naples that has been used for over 2400 years.

- visiting one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world.

- enjoying a quiet spot off the tourist trail for incredible views of Naples. Comment if you want to know where this is!

And I wonder why my Instagram account doesn't grow And I wonder why my Instagram account doesn't grow 😂

But seriously. I take breaks from here. Often. I don't post all of our trips.

Instagram hates me for this but I would rather be present for my kids.

They actually told me off for being in my phone too much once a few years ago and that was enough for me.

I do, however, spend time working on my blogs (3 of them now) when the kids are in school.

I put more time into them because I want to give detailed itineraries of where we go and you can't get that from an Instagram post.

You've probably noticed that we do a lot of African travel these days so I set up a new blog - www.africawithkids.com

We have been to EVERY country in Africa where it's possible to do a safari and Ed works in the safari industry so if you ever have questions on how to start planning your first safari, drop me a DM and I'm happy to answer questions (in school hours obvs 😂) 🦁🦒🐘🦛🦓

Tag a friend who is interested in taking their first safari 💚
