Life is busy. We are working, cooking, cleaning, washing, organising school (more than ever now with COVID!), trying to find ‘me time’ as if that’s even possible. I decided to put some of my story on here in case it’s helpful to someone. We have travelled a lot, road trips in the US, journeys further afar to Chile, Ecuador, Hong Kong and Europe, and all with 2 young children. We learnt some tricks, made some lists, planned routes and managed to survive. I thought to share because it can be hard to plan with such hectic lives and maybe someone can benefit from some of my research.
