The Crazy Family Blog

It's a big wide world out there. We know that life flows like a river and time waits for no one. We want to keep going as long and as far as we can take it. It takes a lot of work to plan a trip, not to mention a trip for a family of five, not to mention a family with twin 7-year-olds and a teenager! So we decided to share some of our experiences and hopefully, inspire someone out there to take their big, lovely family on a trip! So follow us around the world!



Travelling with friends is a big decision and it takes careful consideration. You can have the time of your life! But it can also completely ruin your trip as well as your friendship. So you really need to put some thought into who you should take with.


It’s not necessarily your best mate. It doesn’t have to be your brother or that cousin you often go to the pub on Saturday nights with. It’s not your work chum either. There are some factors that define the right ‘travel buddy’. What are they?


Did you read it all? What it comes down to is this: we are not going to become a different person when travelling. But it is a chance to see things through different eyes. So, it’s important to be relaxed and give other people, and ourselves, space and time. It’s not just the different places, it’s the sounds, the smells, the tastes, the experience of stepping out of what you’re familiar with. Let’s keep our minds and hearts open to our friends’ suggestions. Let’s be ready to make our own!


After all, travelling, like all kinds of human experience, always takes a little compromise!
