Porto and The Douro Valley, Portugal

24th Jan 202030th Jan 2020Leave a comment

This is an incredibly fun, beautiful and family-friendly trip! Porto is a lively, colorful city with ornately tiled buildings, delicious food, cool bars and winding, cobbled streets... plus, it's surrounded by vineyards, so there's something for everyone. We took this trip with my parents in July 2018, when the kids were 1 and 3 years … Continue reading Porto and The Douro Valley, Portugal

Whether you're bringing kids along or not, there are certain uncomfortable aspects of travel in the developing world. It's obviously tougher with very young kids in tow because they always manage to find the dirtiest corner! But even as an adult, you need to know certain key rules. You cannot drink the tap water. Keep … Continue reading Travel in the Developing World

In It for the Long Haul

5th Oct 20184 Comments

One of my favourite things about living in London is having so many different countries just a short flight or train ride away. In two hours or less, you can hop over to Berlin or Budapest, Stockholm or San Sebastián. We take advantage of this proximity whenever we have a spare weekend! But when we … Continue reading In It for the Long Haul

Train Travel Alone with Two Babies

The first solo trip I took was unfortunately also the hardest. I made the rookie mistake of taking a Virgin train on a Bank Holiday weekend. You should never, NEVER, NEVER take the Virgin train on Bank Holiday weekends, whether or not you have help with the kids. I've never seen so many bodies packed into … Continue reading Train Travel Alone with Two Babies

Travel Adventures

When I'm getting the kids excited about something, I always add the word Adventure. Bringing the kids out to dinner? It's a Restaurant Adventure! Toting them along to a wine bar? Olive Adventure! Stay with me here... my 3-year-old loves olives, and knows very well that she's can't partake in a Wine Adventure. So, you … Continue reading Travel Adventures

About Passports & Snacks

I hope this blog serves as a resource for people who love travel, and for parents who want to travel with their children. I look forward to building a community dedicated to exploring, eating, and sharing new experiences.

I kept hearing my friends say that they missed travelling, but couldn’t handle it with tiny kids. Kids may be more demanding than the average carry-on luggage, but young kids are so portable and adaptable! I finally decided to share the tips, tricks and itineraries that have worked for our family. Perhaps with the planning already done, other young families will take the leap and explore the world! It is free or significantly discounted to bring them along in planes, trains, museums and most attractions. Plus, it’s incredibly refreshing to see the world through their eyes, with all the wonder and humour they find.
