At little eyes big world, we hope to inspire you to get out there and see this big, beautiful world, even if you have littles in tow!

Traveling can be a bit intimidating; there can be so much planning involved, plus time to make the plans, time to take off work, organizing itineraries and packing lists….and oh yeah, money! If you have kids, especially small ones, the thought of trying to plan a family vacation on the other side of the world may seem too daunting to even start. Where to begin, you might ask!? Well, that is where we aim to help!

We want to inspire you through the photos and experiences we have been fortunate enough to have, all over the world. We want to give you tips on where to start, where to go, how to get there and what to do once you reach your destination. You too can become travel gurus!!!

We hope that this website serves as a useful tool for planning your next trip. Search by location (e.g. Marrakech or Paris) in our location menu for inspiration or recommendations on where to eat, what to do and where to stay! If you are newer to travel, or traveling for the first time with littles, visit some of our travel tip pages on how to plan a family trip, booking flights with kids or hotel vs Airbnb with kids. If you want to know more about our crazy family, read about us and follow us on Instagram!

Family travel expert for international travel

So we are not officially travel experts, or experts at anything, really. But we do travel internationally with our small children, a lot. If that is more than you travel, then hopefully we can contribute some advice to your future travels!

Some people are able to pick a destination, purchase a flight and then figure the rest out when they get there. Well, someday maybe we too will have that luxury when our kids are grown and traveling on their own adventures, but for now that is not really an option for us. The last thing we want is to land in a foreign country at 11pm with no accommodations lined up, no idea what kind of transportation options we have to get to said accommodation, all with several pieces of luggage and two small kids who are hangry, tired and possibly (probably) not cooperating. Sounds like torture, not vacation! PLAN PLAN PLAN!!! If you are traveling with kids, planning is not optional. You will have whimsical vacations at a later time (again, when those kiddos are grown and gone, or at least when they can walk on their own, feed themselves and wipe their own asses!).

Don’t bite off more than you can chew. You know yourself, spouse and/or kids. You have a good idea of what their limitations and desires are. So start small. If you are unsure, use our travel tips and destinations to figure out what might be a good fit for you and yours. Please don’t get stuck comparing yourself to travel instagrammers or even us for that matter. Any travel is good travel. Enjoy your time exploring the world, whether it is a destination a few hours from where you live or a multi country excursion on the other side of the planet. The point is the experience and sharing it with those you love.

We love nothing more than watching our girls faces when they see or experience new things for the first time, the way our oldest is willing to try any food you put in front of her and the way our youngest forces us to find yogurt and raspberries because thats the only things she is willing to eat for the whole trip! We love meeting the wonderful, diverse people of this world and experiencing the multitude of cultural differences from our own! Learn. Share. Inspire.
