🌟 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

Hello 20k followers 🥳🎈💃 I try and ignore numbers on the gram, but with a fair few followers over these past months, I thought it would be nice to acknowledge this milestone and re-introduce ourselves 👋. Based in the UK's Peak District, we are Jenny (Mum), Jay (Dad), Arthur (9) and Ezra (7) and we have travelled the world as much as we can since the boys were born. We've travelled much of Africa, Asia and Europe, and highlights include: 🇮🇳 living in India for a year 🇳🇵trekking to Poon Hill in the Himalayas 🎒 backpacking Sri Lanka and Thailand 🌍 101 days overlanding sub-Saharan Africa in a Land Rover with roof tents 🇫🇷 6 weeks travelling France in our #mazdabongo 🇲🇦 4 months living and travelling in Morocco If you've been following us for a while, you'll know that we really do maximise our travel time around the boys' schooling and have never seen age as a barrier for taking our kids anywhere. Plus we always have big trip plans up our sleeve, we just can't help it 😅 - we feel that SEAsia is calling us this year 🤞. Adventure travel for us isn't a one off experience, it's a life choice. Whether you've been following us since we moved to India or have joined from recent European travels, thanks for following our little squares of family adventure. Your continued support means I have a job that I love, and I also love being able to inspire and connect with like-minded parents who also want to burst bubbles and show their kids the world. I'd love to know where we were in the world when you first started following us! Lots of love, Jenny x 📷 from our trip to Luxembourg last month.

Secret infinity pool in Western Australia 🤫 You know we love a good infinity pool 🤩 Down the road from Middle Springs & Black Rock Falls is the turn-off for Spring Creek (formally known as ‘Secret Springs’). Down a short but difficult four-wheel drive track, you’ll reach an absolute oasis with water that flows all year round to our delight. You can climb up the waterfall to discover numerous pools and waterfalls above. Climb to the top where you can admire the stunning glowing red rock in the afternoon sun and yet also enjoy the shade that it offers. Secret Springs is just one of those locations that makes the adventure beyond worth it. 📸 oh_so_vansy 👏 👏 📌 Secret Springs, Kununurra Western Australia . . #kununurra #waterfalllovers #travellingfriends #westisbest #westernaustraliatourism #justanotherdayinwa #wathedreamstate #yourdna #travellingfamily #makingmemories #ourtribetravels #homeiswhereweparkit

Sometimes they smile for me...and sometimes I take pictures of their butts 🤣. ⁠ ⁠ I kept asking them to turn around for a nice picture, but they'd only half turn around, and only one at a time...I never got all three of them together. ⁠ ⁠ This back-and-forth went on for several minutes until I just gave up and took this picture 🤷🏻‍♀️.⁠ ⁠ There was a fellow mom standing next to me cracking up over the entire scene taking place in front of her. She didn't speak English, but she sure as heck understood what I was going through. ⁠ ⁠ We laughed and shared a knowing "oh them" mom look that transcended language 💞.⁠ ⁠ So 20 years from now when my kids ask to see pictures of all three of them together during our time overseas, I hope they don't mind that 90% of those 📸 are of their backside. ⁠ ⁠ 😍 At least the background was gorgeous and totally made up for not getting to see their faces. ⁠ ⁠ ➳ Do you have more pictures of your kids' faces...or of their butts? ⁠ ⁠ ( 🦄 Getting all three looking, smiling, and eyes open AT THE SAME TIME for me is basically the same thing as spotting a unicorn riding on a 🌈. lol anyone else feel me on that?) ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ 📍Bruges, Belgium⁠ ---------⤹⤹---------⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ follow jesstagirl for more fun around Europe. 🔗 in bio for blog posts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ .⁠⁠ .⁠⁠ .⁠⁠⁠⁠ #jesstagirlinBelgium #visitbruges #brugesbelgium #ilovebelgium #familytravelblog #familytraveller #kidswhotravel #travelwithkids #takeyourkidseverywhere #travelingwithkids #familytravel #parentswhowander #ourtribetravels #showthemtheworld #americanineurope⁠ #familyadventure #mamalife #howwetravel #travellingwithkids #familieswhotravel #travelingkids #familytrips⁠ #belgiumtourism #visitflanders⁠

So this is 'winter' in Spain ☀️ It's perfect hiking weather 👌🥾 Huge thanks to greengirlgetaways for telling me about the superb coastal footpath from Vilanova to Sitges. We were planning to go to Sitges today, but had no idea about the walking route until I saw her message this morning! It's 8km along fantastic rocky cliffs and sandy coves with a regular train whizzing past on the other side. And once we arrived in Sitges - WOWSERS! What a stunner of a town. A train and bus then brought us back to our campsite, where the boys STILL had energy for the jumping pillow 😳. Arthur's fitbit (Xmas pressie) has totalled 29,296 steps today 🤪.

✨Once upon a time... a girl had a dream. ✨⁣ ⁣ A dream to do a multi day trek with her 9 year old son. And off they went to the Andes of Ecuador... 🏔⁣ ⁣ I don’t often think of myself as strong or brave, but for a total scaredy cat I have been on some epic adventures! ⁣ ⁣ 👣 One of the most amazing things I’ve done was earlier this year when Cian and I and my friend hiknmeg and her two girls set off on an amazing South American adventure. ⁣ ⁣ We had no guide nor accurate map. All we had was our intuition, a few measly wooden sign boards occasionally set up against a rock to tell us where to go and our own determination. ⁣ ⁣ We got lost daily, sometimes many times a day. We got caught in rain showers. Some of us (me! 👋 ) got stuck in muddy ravines and had to be helped up by locals.⁣ ⁣ There were tears. There were fears. There was friendship and forgiveness. There was lots of noise, and quite times too.⁣ ⁣ Sometimes I just wanted to cry, so I had to dig deep to find the strength to get up that last half mile, straight up hill. Always, straight up hill. I could hardly do it. But I did. Every single day. We all did.⁣ ⁣ There were hard moments, but that last day knowing the end was near I felt sadness that it was almost over. I also felt stronger though, knowing what we had accomplished. ⁣ ⁣ Two moms, on our own, with kids. ⁣ ⁣ 🙏 Now, 10 months later I continue to feel thankful I took the opportunity to be brave and do something off the beaten path and totally unknown. ⁣ ⁣ 💫 I’m grateful a person I had only met a few times trusted me with a trip of a lifetime. ⁣ ⁣ 💪 And I’m glad to know I CAN do hard things. ⁣ ⁣ 🌍 Now we wait.. & plan for our next multi-day trek somewhere else in the world!⁣ ⁣ ✨Explore more. Dream big. Do hard things. ❤️⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #ecuador #ecuador🇪🇨 #quilotoa #quilotoaloop #hikingwithkids #ecuadortravel #familytravel #familytravels #familytravelblog #outdoorfamily #familygetaway #livelifeoutside #ourtribetravels #whyihike #hikingfamily #hikingislife #hikingvibes #adventureoften #familytravels #treasuringlittlememories #travelingfamily #thehikingway #familyfriendly #mountainaddict #beintrepid #kidsforreal #familyfun #exploringfamilies #1000

Ad. Whilst on our royalcaribbeaneurope cruise in the Mediterranean we took the chance to visit pompeii_parco_archeologico . I had visited many years before as a teenager, but I was excited to show the kids! We booked a tour via originaltravel that turned out to be the perfect choice. We were picked up by private car at the dock, taken directly to Pompeii and quickly entered the parc without having to wait for any tour groups. Our guide was fantastic and showed us around the major features of Pompeii near the entrance. But as we only had 2 hours we couldn’t go too far. The site is massive! Stretches for miles, and still more being uncovered all the time. Pompeii is an ancient town that was destroyed by the volcano Vesuvius in 79AD. Mostly buried by ash and rocks. We learned how the people of Pompeii would have lived, from small shop owners to rich noble people. Saw a bakers, the forum and temples. Plus the plaster casts of the victims of course. I also learnt that many of the towns major monuments and statues were dug up and taken away by other local people not long after the eruption! We returned in the early afternoon back to our cruise ship. Giving the kids time to play and enjoy the pool, there’s only so much sightseeing they can do in one day! ❤️

His papa is back!!! Which means matching overalls and zlandbrand hats - because a big helper needs to dress for the job. We are busy, busy, busy over here with an airstream restoration AND a van conversion but I love seeing our driveway packed with fun projects.
