Who Says You Can’t Travel Now You Have A Baby On Board?
If you thought your days of independent travel were over now you have children and were instead considering the prospect of settling for package holidays then this new book may expand your horizons.
Alice Griffin, travel writer, mum and author of new book, ‘Tales from a Travelling Mum: Navigating Europe with a Babe-in-Arms’ encourages new mums and young families to keep their travel dreams alive.
Before giving birth to her daughter, Isabella, Alice lived the life of an intrepid travel journalist, writing for a tourist guide. Spending a good deal of her time living out of a backpack, Alice’s job saw her driving the treacherous ice-fields parkway in Canada during a snowstorm, hailing makeshift taxis in Thailand and flying over the amazing Arizona landscapes in an ever-so-slightly scary plane.
Alice recalls, “During the nine months nurturing our unborn child, me and my husband Scott, toyed with the idea that we might put behind us the spontaneous and independent days of travel we had both enjoyed. This notion was short-lived when, over tapas in a local restaurant, me heavily pregnant, we quickly decided there was no need to be pushed and prodded into the waiting transfers of all-inclusive
holidays. Instead we were going to pass our individual spirit for adventure and freedom onto our unborn child.”
She continues, “In the two years since my daugher Isabella was born, we have travelled to Norway, France, Greece and Spain, by car, train, bus, plane, taxi and boat, on long and short journeys.”
