*Collaborative Post

A small child is not a reason to abandon long-distance travel, especially if you can get to the place of rest by plane. The sooner the child gets used to flights, the easier and more comfortable any trips will be.

Children give a lot of joy, but also take a lot of energy. So you must remember to relax yourself in order to gain energy and to switch off – this is your holiday too! Some simple ways to unwind could include reading a book, booking a spa visit once you are settled, scrolling social media, chatting with friends, drawing, writing a journal, playing games on an app or visiting a real online casino. Whatever works for you to help to improve your mood and relieve those pressures all of us parents feel. Well, now, let’s get down to our list of tips for traveling with children by plane.

The Northern Lights

Seeing The Northern Lights in Tromso

We have recently returned from an absolutely dreamy trip to Tromso, Norway and one of the activities we got up to was of course seeing the Northern Lights. October is a great time of year to see them here and we were lucky enough to see them twice! So I thought I would share our experiences and tips from seeing the Northern Lights in Tromso.

Why Is Tromso So Good For Seeing The Northern Lights?

Tromso is a special location in which to see the Northern Lights as it sits right in the oval of them which means you can even see them when activity is considered to be low. Of course, this is a natural phenomenon so there is never any guarantee that you will always be lucky on your chosen night but between September and April, Tromso will give you the best chance.

What is Ecotourism?

Living more eco-consciously is most definitely on more people’s minds as is reducing their carbon footprint especially when it comes to travel. This rise in the popularity of eco-travel has led to an increase in the use of the word ecotourism but what exactly does this mean? According to The International Ecotourism Society (TIES), ecotourism is defined as:

“responsible travel to natural areas that conserve the environment, sustains the well-being of the local people, and involves interpretation and education”

Let’s take a closer look at what this can mean and how you can still travel and enjoy the world without feeling that eco-anxiety or guilt.

How We Spent a Wonderful 3 Days In Tromso

As parents of 2 boys, we very rarely go away as a couple. Not because we don’t want to but costs, childcare, finding the time and so on all factor in but this year we made an exception because this year I had my 40th and I knew I wanted to do something absolutely amazing to mark the occasion. And after some careful thinking, I decided to tick one of those bucket list must-sees off of my list – the Northern Lights. A little bit of research quickly told us that Tromso in Norway is the best place to see these in October and so our destination was set. We heavily planned our stay, booked the time off, arranged childcare and pet sitters and honestly had the time of our lives. Here’s just how we spent 3 days in Tromso…
