The Footsteps family travel inspiration blog documents the travel and holiday adventures of the Brittain family – our family of two adults, four children and one dog…
We’re from Southampton, England and for as long as we can remember, travelling and holidays have been our absolute favourite thing to do.
But there’s no doubt that it’s a very different experience doing so when a new baby comes along – and very different again when the second, third then fourth arrive!
What we get up to
But we’ve always tried our best to keep up with as much travelling as we possibly can – and also to spend as much time doing the same kind of stuff we might always have done even if we didn’t have them with us.
We love spending time exploring, getting away from typical tourist hot-spots, getting out in to nature and in to the ‘real’ parts of the countries we’re visiting.
Spending a week sat by an all-inclusive hotel pool isn’t usually our thing – although we’ve done so on several occasions – we’re more likely to be hiking through the mountains to a remote lake or searching for hidden jungle waterfalls.
We’ve always been really keen to pass on to the children the same sense of adventure, love of the outdoors and of different places and cultures that we’ve always had and that means just getting out there and doing stuff, even when having babies, young kids or teenagers in tow might make that a bit more of a logistical challenge than it would be with just the two of us!
Why we started this family travel blog site
Wherever we’ve gone, one thing we’ve always found useful is advice, information and reviews from people who’ve been to the same places before us.
For this reason, we’ve always wanted to pass on our own experiences and advice to others who might come after us too.
So we started this blog as a place to write about and photograph everything we do in great detail and hopefully provide valuable and interesting information and advice for people doing their own travelling and holidaying with their kids.
