On the plane from Paris to Barcelona, I closed my eyes and imagined Spain. The sun, sangria, sundresses, brown skin and bare feet. Sweating profusely in my I-Have-To-Wear-5kg-Of-Clothin g-So-My-Luggage-Meets-Restric tions outfit, I envisioned the beach and me on it, and endless mojitos. I had to. There was no air conditioning and I was desperate. Barcelona…
Long gone are the flights when I used to hold my dear infant on my lap, watch a couple of movies, while sipping on some sparkling water. Possibly even get a 15 minute cat nap at the same time. I remember those flights when all we needed was our infant carrier, mommy’s “milk,” and whatever the…
New York, New York. I have almost been putting off writing about our two week stint in the city famous as famous for its buildings as it is its abusive customer service. Not because I haven’t wanted to write endlessly about it, wax lyrical about its unique charm and unparalleled vibe, till you are all…
Perhaps the best place to start is the flight to Germany. It was nearly as epic as our month long stay in, what my father calls, The Motherland. Epic, not in length (we are Australians, flying internationally is always a long haul) but in frequency of chaos and embarrassing moments. I will type now, directly,…
We were traveling Thailand with baby nomad for 1 month though Thailand when she was 6-7 months old. We had good and bad experiences and will honestly report in this blog post. Our 12 hour flight (from Germany) with baby went really well. She slept half the time and the rest of the time my…

During these months we visited Germany, Switzerland, France, Spain and Portugal. And our baby learned to grab, hold her head, roll over and almost…
This was the last part of our Europe with baby trip. We stayed for a few weeks along the atlantic coast of France (Biarritz and Lacanau) and traveled back along the loire area and Versailles. Biarritz Biarritz is a mix of an old-established lordly town and several hipster & surfer spots. It was especially visited…

Explore “Mini Hawaii” This magical island will already remind you of Hawaii when you approach it by plane. Mountains that protrude from the…
Costa da Caparica is not well known among tourists. You find mostly Portuguese here and therefore it is the perfect spot on our trip around Europe with baby nomad (4 months old). Moreover, it has an endless beach, several surfing and kitesurfing areas. Also, there are absolutely delicious and cozy beach bars & restaurants. It is…
Next stop on our Europe trip with baby (now four months old) was the Algarve. We stayed in Lagos and Albufeira in particular and made several day trips from there. To sum it up, the coast is stunning and unique. You can go surfing, kite surfing, or even try out flyboard. But unfortunately it gets…
