One of the things we love most about visiting Hong Kong with kids is the food. There’s always something familiar to fall back on, but always something new to try too. Hong Kong also feels a little like a second home to us. Susie was born here, and we’ve returned many times over the years, so we’ve had plenty of opportunities to explore the city’s food scene, both with and without kids. Hong Kong is an easy place to eat as a family, whether you’ve got adventurous eaters or tho

When we visited Thailand in 2006, riding elephants was considered a normal tourist activity. Since then, attitudes have changed significantly. Nearly two decades later, travelling with our kids, we wanted them to experience elephants up close, but only in a way that was ethical and respectful of the animals. That's when we discovered Following Giants, a no-touch ethical elephant sanctuary on Koh Lanta, Thailand. It turned out to be one of the most impactful experiences of our

For most families, Hong Kong is somewhere you visit. For ours, it's somewhere we come back to. Susie was born in Hong Kong, back when it was still under British rule, and although she left when she was very young, the city has always remained special to her. Over the years, we've returned on multiple occasions, but our most recent trip finally gave us the chance to bring the girls along and introduce them to the place where their Mum was born. That family connection means we'

There are few places in the Canadian Rockies where you can sit down for tea and sandwiches with a view like

Have you ever looked at a map and wondered whether your family could take a few months off to travel the world together? Before we left Calgary for our own 100-day sabbatical across ten countries, we spent countless evenings wondering exactly that, and whether it was realistic, affordable, or even responsible. Three months later we had taken a family cooking class in Tokyo, crawled through the Cu Chi Tunnels in Vietnam, explored the ancient temples of Angkor in Cambodia, crui

We are not a Disney family. We’d never been to Disneyland or Disney World, and with only five days to explore Hong Kong, we weren’t entirely sure Hong Kong Disneyland was worth dedicating a full day of our trip to. We’d heard the usual Disney horror stories about hour-long queues, packed walkways, and spending more time waiting than actually having fun. Our experience couldn’t have been more different. We ended up loving it, and we'd genuinely recommend it, even to families l
