I have had this account for coming up to 2 years now and was originally using this as a way of documenting my family’s getaways both UK and Overseas – an online journal so to speak – for my daughter to look back on.
As I have enjoyed the writing so much I started to look at other travel blogs and realised there is so much more I can do with my site, keep up the travel journal but maybe add further value to any other travelling families through reviews, general travel thoughts etc.
One other thing is to keep a record of my travelling to do list, add to it when I discover a new place to go and also cross it out when I get it done. Some of the places I have already visited but it may have been when I was on my Round the World Trip as a singleton on a super-tight budget. I would now want to revisit with hubby/family. I am pretty sure this list is going to be long (even at first draft) but at least it will give me a place to get this all down
