With its streets ladened with cobblestone and buildings covered with ceramic tiles from head to bottom, its laid-back charm will instantly draw you in. 🇵🇹 ❤️ We visited Lisbon during the last week of January this year when the weather was pleasant and we experienced light showers during the day. Traveling during this season meant fewer people allowing us to enjoy the place at our own pace. 🌟👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
If you're planning a family trip to Lisbon, don't miss our latest blog post featuring a 4-day itinerary that's kid-approved! Link in Bio!

🌟 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?

✨ 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. ❤️⁣
⁣

Going grey gracefully. Be proud of your grey beards guys. 😂

I have a memory like an elephant, and a staunch protector of my family and friends.

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

If you've seen any of our stories this week, you'll know we've been having fun exploring North Wales! (In between some early April showers!) This is the fab Bryn Celli Ddu burial chamber, which is on Anglesey, and is completely fascinating! As you can see, you can actually go inside it!!! A low passageway leads to a small room with a standing stone in it - and lots and lots of offerings people have left! We've never been anywhere like it before, and it was so lovely for the kids to be able to explore and experience it!

✨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. ❤️⁣
⁣

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. 😱⁣⁣

✨ Wild Horses ✨⁣
⁣
When we began our homeschool journey a friend said they were going to study wild horses. Of course, upon hearing that, Cian said he wanted to as well. So, when we had the opportunity to visit Carson Valley, we knew we had to seek out the wild horses that live in the area. ⁣
⁣
What a dream day. We headed out with a local photographer who has spent his life in these hills, photographing wild animals. ⁣
⁣
We learned so much about the horses, the issues they face from the environment, people and the government. It’s such a tricky situation out here. There are lots of different bands of wild horses that roam the Carson Valley and even into the towns. The ones living close to town have been tainted by people feeding them so they are much friendlier (aka less wild!) than these. We couldn’t get even 100 ft away before they would start moving. ⁣
⁣
I had visions of close up photos with the horses, but you won’t get that here in Carson Valley. These are still as wild as wild can be! ⁣
⁣
They are a beautiful site to behold though. I encourage you to visit them some day.. just please do not feed them or try to get too close. Maybe we can eventually help these guys move deeper into the mountains away from all of us!⁣
⁣
Did you know that wild horses still roamed parts of the US? ⁣
⁣

And the two weeks of quarantine has begun... wish us luck 😜⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We arrived back into the UK yesterday and stayed at my parents' place in Kent to break up the journey north. The overnight stopover is allowed by the government and my parents are away in their camper at the mo.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We filled in the online government COVID forms before arriving to Calais, and were asked at UK border security if we had done them, although they weren't actually checked. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Then as soon as Jay has finished work, we'll do the final leg back home to the Peak District today 💚. ⁣⁣
