Footprints to Adventure was born from a simple idea – travelling with kids doesn’t have to be difficult, confusing, or expensive. We want our children to experience different cultures, taste new foods, and hear new languages, and we believe other families can do the same.

Travel has always been part of our story and we continued travelling after becoming parents. Like many families, our adventures paused in 2020, but now, armed with two young boys, we’re back on the road, exploring the UK and beyond.

We’ve done the travel, made the mistakes and had to learn the hard way on many occasions! Now, through family-friendly destinations, fun activities for kids, honest reviews, and plenty of practical travel tips, we aim to show what’s possible and help you plan your own family travels with more confidence and less stress.
