My FB memories are killing me at the mo 😭. This one popped up this morning of Ez in #Bangkok getting stuck into some noodles. He must be 16 months old here 💚.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Anyways, hope everyone is doing ok? I've been a bit quiet on this account as I've been focusing on peakdistrictkids, closer to home, and we've barely been out in the #Bongo (except for school runs 🤷‍♀️)...⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ And we had the weirdest realisation this week... something happened that was totally foreign to us... Jay has annual leave days outstanding for this year that he needs to take 🤣. That has NEVER happened to us in the 20 years we've been together. 😱⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ...⁣⁣ #familytravel #travelkids #snaphappybritmums #travelmadfam #amazingthailand #bangkok #khaosan #letthemexplore #parentswhowander #letsgosomewhere #rememberthesedays #traveljunkies #travelfamily #showthemtheworld #takeyourkidseverywhere #ourplanetdaily #ourtribetravels #thailand #visitthailand #fstuk10

Just look at the colour of this sea! We had an amazing few days on Iona, swimming in the sea every day! We stayed at the lovely ionapods which are heated and very conveniently located at the North of the island to get to the beaches, 5 minutes walk from the abbey and right below Dun I, the highest point on Iona. I didn’t realise how beautiful Iona was until we arrived. But it definitely captured our hearts and we’ll be back one day! 💕 Let’s just forget about the ferry cancellation on the way back and a rather annoying long detour to get home! We made it and I’m pleased that I feel much more capable of taking the kids away on my own. I think that was the first time I’ve driven onto the ferry myself (aside the tiny one to Gigha!).

🌟 Campervan Essentials 🌟 Campervanning looks very different for many people - some prefer a little more luxury, while others are happy with very minimal equipment. I would like to think that we sit somewhere in between those extremes and pride ourselves on only buying and storing things in the van that we consider are essential for making life easier on the road as a family. 🌟➡️ NEW on the BLOG - Our Campervan Essentials! (Link in bio) All recommendations are items we have tried and tested over a considerable period of time, organised within the format of answering questions we have been asked recently. ▪️How can you keep your van clean and tidy on the road? ▪️How do you prepare meals when you are travelling? ▪️How do you manage to travel with children and a dog? ▪️How do you manage to fit everything that you need into such a small space? ▪️What items have you found really useful that I might not have thought of? ▪️What items do you find really useful when travelling with children? If you could only choose THREE essentials in your campervan, what would they be? #vanfamtribe #dublife #volkswagencamper #campervanlife #vanfamtribe #ourtribetravels #vanlifefamily #campervanlife #lifeontheroad #vanlifeuk #vanlifers #homeiswhereyouparkit #homeonwheels #campingessentials #campingwithkids #vanlifewithkids #vwt5camper #campingfamily #vanfamily #vwcamper #vwcampervan

Hello 👋 We've had so many new followers since we started travelling again, so I thought I'd do a little re-introduction as it's been a looooooooong while since the last time I did this 😘 🚐 I'm Jenny, Mum of the Lynn family. I work as a travel blogger (yes, that is actually a real job that earns you money 😜) - I love the flexibility it provides me around our family and the travel opportunities it brings. 🚐 With Jay (hubby) and our two boys (Arthur 7, Ezra 6) we live in the Peak District 🇬🇧. I also run peakdistrictkids - which has become the go-to website for families exploring the UK's oldest national park 🥾 and the website receives over 180k page views per month. 🚐 As a family we love epic adventures. We have lived in India, trekked the Himalayas, and traversed Africa in a Land Rover. 🚐 We jumped on the pandemic VAN-waggon in June '20 and bought our Mazda Bongo camper from eBay for £7k. We were supposed to be taking a family gap year and travelling overland from London to Sydney last year - a trip Jay and I did back in 2007 🙄. But we absolutely love our Bongo; he's part of the family now 🥰. 🚐 We are all Aussie citizens as Jay and I used to live in Sydney. The boys have never even visited, and it's currently the top country they want to travel to. One day... 🚐 I've never liked sea food. And when I decided to become vegetarian over three years ago, it was a huge relief to just say to people that I'm vegetarian, rather than explain I don't like sea food 🙈. Although I still sometimes eat the boys left over fish fingers 🤷‍♀️. 🚐 Oh and we're currently spending the summer travelling around France in our Bongo and having the best time ever 🥰🇫🇷. Right, I think that's enough waffling on about myself 🤣. Big hugs, Jenny x

SURF'S UP! 🏄⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The boys had their first ever surf lesson today with manusurf_school_camp at Longeville-sur-Mer! An hour lesson costs €35 per person and they have English-speaking instructors.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ There were five kids in the lesson. They started by playing 'Musical surf boards' (surf boards instead of chairs on the sand 😉) and by the end of the lesson, Arthur was managing to ride a wave standing up for a few seconds! Ez was laughing throughout and preferred the boogie-board technique 😜⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ They had so much fun that we've booked them in for another session tomorrow 🤙🏄⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ...⁣⁣ #longevillesurmer #vendee vendeetourism francefr #visitfrance #surfkids #surfschool #ourtribetravels #familytravel #travelkids #francemylove #beautifuldestinations #beachlife #travelmadfam #fearlessfamtrav #rememberthesedays #kidswhoexplore #worldschooling #vanlifewithkids #vanfamtribe #vanlifedreams #mazdabongo #roadtrippin #lovelysquares #fstuk #snaphappybritmums #france_vacations

🌎 TOP 10 COUNTRIES 🌍 *according to Arthur and Ezra* #kidstraveltop10 👆 I've totally just made up this hashtag. Feel free to join in with your kids and tag travelynnfamily if you do 😘 NUMBER 10 is TANZANIA 🇹🇿 - the boys were 2 and 4 years old. I'll be honest, Tanzania wouldn't be in my top ten. This is the hardest country we've travelled with the boys. We were self driving from South Africa in a #landroverdefender and on a budget - Tanzania is more geared towards high end tourism and organised tours. Safaris are extortionately expensive compared to Southern African countries, the police road checks were the most aggressive we have experienced, and we had to deal with unexpected monsoonal rains and washed out roads. But the boys remember: 🇹🇿 the epic wildlife encounters at the quieter (and cheaper) parks we visited - mating lions close to our Land Rover, and being the only witnesses to hundreds of elephants at a watering hole 🇹🇿 a snow capped Mt Kilimanjaro 🇹🇿 the awesome hospitality at utengulecoffeelodge where we camped on a helipad with incredible sunset views for a week. Tanzania was the most challenging country for independent travel, but totally worth it. .. #tanzania #tanzaniasafari #traveltanzania #eastafrica #travelafrica #onlyafrica #guardiantravelsnaps #bbctravel #landrover #onelifeliveit #familytravel #worldschooling #fstuk1 #travelmadfam #beautifuldestinations #takeyourkidseverywhere #ourtribetravels #overlanding #ukmums #traveldreaming #travelblogger #travelkids #letsexplore

AD | You see the little wooden hut to the right of this photo? That's our own personal washblock that comes with our pitch! We've got a shower, loo, kitchen sink, and a big fridge/freezer ALL TO OURSELVES! The height of bongo luxury 🙌How cool is that?! I've only ever come across pitches like this in Namibia. We're now in Roussillon on the south coast. This is another #eurocampindependent site, but very different to the last one - this place is HUGE with so much going on! We generally lean towards smaller sites, but over the years we've tried a couple of bigger sites out and they've always been a huge success - mostly because the boys love the onsite waterparks! 💦 ... eurocampholidays #mazdabongoowners #mazdabongo #vanlife #travelfrance #visitfrance #familytravel

🌎 TOP 10 COUNTRIES 🌍 *according to Arthur and Ezra* #kidstraveltop10 Happy Friday all 🎉. Bringing you the boys' next top country in their countdown, to hopefully keep those travel dreams alive through the groundhog days of the longest month on record 💚. NUMBER 5 is Nepal 🇳🇵(the boys were 2 and 4 years old) The full days sat on a bus, navigating winding, pot-holed roads means that Nepal can be challenging 🤢. Or maybe just fly between destinations? But when you’re carried around the Himalayas in a doko (basket used by porters) it makes hiking at altitude so much easier 😉. This photo is one of my favourite family travel memories, so I absolutely love that the boys put Nepal in their top 10 💚💚.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .......... #Ghorepani #nepalisbeautiful #nepalnow #himalayas #Nepal #travelkids #takeyourkidseverywhere #travelmadfam #topoftheworld #bbctravel #guardiantravelsnaps #lpkids #familytravel #ukblogger #pblogger #ourtribetravels #ourplanetdaily #getoutside #pottyadventures #supporttmamas #adventureparenting #worldschooling #parentswhowander #travelwithkids #fstuk1 #snaphappybritmums

🌎 TOP 10 COUNTRIES 🌍 *according to Arthur and Ezra* #kidstraveltop10 NUMBER 7 is Namibia 🇳🇦 (the boys were 3 and 4 years old) To think that we only decided to go to Namibia at the very last minute (as in the night before), seems crazy now. We were on our big overlanding trip through Southern Africa and camping for the night in Zambia, close to the Botswana and Namibia border, getting ready to cross the border into Bots. But news of washed out roads in Botswana made us change our plans. We had been on the road for over 2 months, and had had enough of bad roads.  So to Namibia we went, and I swear our tyres were singing when they sailed along the fresh tarmac!  For anyone who asks me where to take kids on their first African adventure, Namibia is always my answer. I’ll put a swipe up in stories later for a blog post I wrote as to why.  But for the boys, Namibia was more than the incredible and easy wildlife spotting on safari. There are hundreds of stinky seals to see, shipwrecks and abandoned mines to explore, huge crimson sand dunes to run down. Plus a German bakery in every town! And the roads are much easier for self driving - though be warned, the distances are huge! .. #namibia #travelnamibia #roadtrip #onelifeliveit #fearlessfamtrav #familytravel #exploreafrica #explorerkids #thisisafrica #onlyafrica #travelafrica #worldschooling #travelkids #adventurekids #wanderlusting #ontheroad #letthemexplore #uktravelblogger #beautifuldestinations #ourtribetravels #ourplanetdaily #mummyblogger #fstuk1 #bbctravel #guardiantravelsnaps

✨ I took a walk in the woods and came out taller than the trees. - Henry David Thoreau ✨⁣ ⁣ Do you ever feel this way? I often feel so tiny after time in the forest, realizing how minuscule our place on this earth really is, but what massive damage we have done. ⁣ ⁣ Although, I get the point of this quote.. mentally, my heart is full and my mind is clear after time in nature.⁣ ⁣ But this is me with poetry.. I’ve never been so great with it because I am very literal. However, I am learning...Cian and I have started a new homeschool ritual of Poetry Teatime. It’s been a fun way to get out of my comfort zone and open up new forms of reading for Cian. ⁣ ⁣ I never even knew that he had an interest in poems, but he’s really taken to it. I bought a few books for kids, but what he enjoys more are the classic poets. So many of their writings focus on nature, which is where his love is as well. He’s even begun nature journaling every time we go somewhere - and it’s always a poem. ⁣ ⁣ Don’t mind me, I’m just over here adoring what homeschool has brought to us! ⁣ ⁣ Every day this child surprises me with his interest in things, his love of learning and excitement to explore all that the world has on offer. ❤️⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #yosemitenationalpark #homeschoollife #mariposagrove #californiadreaming #visitcalifornia #maderacalifornia yosemitemadera #nationalparkgeek #homeschool #nationalparkservice #findyourpark #familyexplorersclub #travelmom #familytraveltribe #familyvacation #kidswhoexplore #natureofinstagram #ourtribetravels #familyfun #loveyourtimetogether #hiking4fun #letthekids #hikingviews #letthembelittle #documentyourdays #hiking_hobby #hikingfamily #nothingisordinary #familytravel #familyadventures #outdoorfamilies

We have slipped into #vanlife very easily and these summer days feel so good in our #mazdabongo 👍⁣ ⁣ Days have been spent in the pool, or on long cycle rides to beaches or a chateau. We've been playing it by ear and just seeing how each day unfolds. ⁣ ⁣ It's been the break that we didn't realise how much we needed, and us parents can feel the batteries recharging 😘⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ...⁣ #bongolife #vanlifewithkids⁣ #vanlifemovement #bongonauts #vanlifedreams #projectvanlife #vanliving #vanlifer #familytravel #homeonwheels #vanlifeeurope #vanfamtribe #travelwithkids #parentswhowander #wearetravelmums #travelmadfam #fearlessfamtrav #ourtribetravels #parentblogger #takeyourkidseverywhere #vendee #vendée #francemylove # #letthemexplore #visitfrance #uktravelblogger #familytravelblogger campings_sandaya

🌎 TOP 10 COUNTRIES 🌍 *according to Arthur and Ezra* #kidstraveltop10 NUMBER 1 is Malawi 🇲🇼 (the boys were 2 and 4 years old) Yes, Malawi! (Not the UK as a lot of your had guessed 😜). This really surprised me. Not that it should surprise me - Malawi packs a lot into its relatively small landmass; majestic mountains, white-crescent beaches fringing the lake, and intimate big five safari experiences. Plus, the people are so genuinely lovely - there’s a reason it’s called ‘the warm heart of Africa’. We absolutely LOVED our time in Malawi as part of our 101 days overlanding Africa. However, in the interests of full disclosure, I have to let you know that Ez played a Malawian child in this year's nativity play, and the boys were learning about Malawian Christmas traditions in school last term 🖤♥️💚. I asked them if this affected their decision at all, and it was a firm no 😉.  Whether this did influence their decision or not, it’s made me realise that it’s important to keep learning and talking about the places we’ve travelled. It’s this that keeps the memories alive and deepens their affinity with a destination, at a time when world has shut down.  Anyways, I hope you’ve enjoyed hearing the boys' top 10 countries! It was a fun lockdown exercise and I’ve actually learnt a lot from it xx .. #Malawi #magicalmalawi #visitmalawi malawitourism #mulanje #overlanding #onelifeliveit #southernafrica #travelafrica #thisisafrica #familytravel #travelkids #travelwithkids #uktravelblogger #worldschooling #parentswhowander #takeyourkidseverywhere #ourtribetravels #travelmadfam #showthemtheworld #letthemexplore #adventureparenting #fstuk2

All bongos need a hammock. 🙌 We bought this hammock from a decathlonindia when we lived in Bangalore a few years ago. It's been all over India, then on our travels through Africa, and now it is packed away in our #mazdabongo for whenever there's a handy tree near our pitch. I've had a few people ask how we attach the hammock to our camper. Bongos tend to have three strong hooks under the AFT on the sliding door side. I've read somewhere that there hooks are for a specific bongo awning 🤷‍♀️, but for us they work perfectly for the hammock 👌. #mazdabongoowners #hammock #hammocklife #fulltimevanlife #vanlife #campingfrance

Give me a van amongst the gum trees 🌿🎶 💕For almost two weeks we’ve been roaming around in Yolo our Apollo, and I feel like I’ve finally got everything in its place and we’ve settled in 🎉. It’s so easy! I mean, I have to cook and do laundry and connect cables and grey water hoses AND empty the toilet but hey, apparently that’s the reality of #vanlife 🤣🤣 What I Iove the most is: 👍🏻being able to move whenever we want to and that everything comes with us - like today, instead of having lunch and then doing the White Sands Walk along the beaches here in Jervis Bay, we just drove there and made lunch and ate it in the bush before we wandered the beaches. Very cool!! 👍🏻The van is COSY! We have heating and it’s so warm and the bed is comfy too (you guys know my back and joints are old-lady-painful and they’ve been great this trip). 👍🏻I filled up the van completely with diesel a few days ago after a week and a half of driving and it cost $67 - nice surprise!! 👍🏻Caravan parks are fun - we’ve met some really nice people... but someone also had a go at me for my slow van parking skills which I believe are bloody good so 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣🤣 Dont worry, I snapped back hahah. 👍🏻The fridge is keeping my bubbles SUPER COLD. #important We’re heading west soon - Emmie now has a fibreglass cast but can’t do much with it - kayaking and water sports are banned so we are going inland. Omg EXCITED! Let us know if you’re around Bathurst, Dubbo, Orange, Canowindra, Cowra or anywhere nearby! 😍😍😍 apollomotorhomeholidays #Apollopartner
