PARENTING EXPERT SET TO BUST THE MYTHS OF TRAVELLING WITH KIDS

Announcement posted by BellyBelly.com.au 07 Jan 2015

Bellybelly.com.au founder Kelly Winder will spend 12 months travelling the world with her partner and three kids. Follow her challenges, tips and triumphs at her blog, Around the World + Kids.

Australian families will continue to travel overseas in strong numbers through 2015 with a new survey by parenting website bellybelly.com.au revealing that 88 per cent of respondents would ‘definitely’ take a family holiday within the next 12 months.

However, the survey also identified that affordability, inflexible work schedules, the responsibilities of day-to-day life, and worries about coping with kids while travelling, are the four biggest challenges that prevent family travel.

They are obstacles that Kelly Winder, parenting expert and founder of parenting website bellybelly.com.au, is determined to help Australian families overcome.

She’s hitting the road on 18 January with her partner and three kids – Marisa (12), Elijah (10) and Amaya (2) – for a year-long worldwide trip to create a first-hand guide to travelling the world with kids. 

“I want to inspire parents to feel confident travelling the world with their children, while showing parents that what they may think is impossible CAN be done,” says Kelly.

 “The most common reaction we trigger in people when we tell them about our trip is, ‘Wow, you must be loaded!’ but we’re not. In fact, we plan to set ourselves budget challenges along the way, to show families how they can travel long term on a budget, and cut existing living expenses significantly.”

 Kelly will be sharing her experiences via a blog titled Around the World + Kidsand is available to share her family travel tips as a media commentator.
