We’re the family behind The Travelling Wee, sharing honest, practical travel experiences from our trips around the world as a family of four.
We started this blog because travelling with kids is brilliant, but planning it can feel overwhelming. Too much information, too many opinions, and too many “perfect itineraries” can make family travel feel more stressful than it needs to be.
Our goal is simple: to help families travel with less stress and more flexibility, by sharing what actually works for us rather than what looks good on paper.
How we travel as a family
Everything we share on The Travelling Wee is based on trips we’ve actually taken as a family. Some went smoothly, some came with challenges, and all of them taught us something.
We write from what we did on the ground, including what we would do differently next time. That way, you get practical advice that reflects real family travel, not an idealised checklist.
Over time, we’ve learned that over‑planning rarely works with kids. Energy levels change, moods shift, and even the best plans need room to breathe. Our approach is to plan just enough to feel prepared, while leaving space for downtime, spontaneity, and the family mood on the day.
This balance is at the heart of how we travel and what we write about.

Honest recommendations and transparency
We believe trust matters, especially when families are spending time and money on travel.
When we recommend tools or services, it’s because we genuinely use them and find them helpful for family travel. Some links on the site are affiliate links, which means we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This helps support the blog, but it never changes what we choose to share or how we write about it.
If something does not work well for us, we say so.
Why we share our experiences
Family travel does not need to be perfect to be meaningful. Some of our best memories came from slowed‑down days, changed plans, or unexpected moments.
We share our experiences in the hope they make family travel feel more achievable, less pressured, and a little calmer for you too.
