PERU WITH KIDS is an awesome idea! 🇵🇪

We purposely skipped Machu Picchu to save more for the Amazon and Sacred Valley. I’ve already been and kids appreciate slightly different things, so I thought it made sense - I don’t regret this decision 😉

Any questions? Let me know 🤓

Because are cool 😎 Poofy has been the best companion, great little traveler and like a big brother to the kids 🐱

Poofy has been to 11 countries, 12 US states and ticked numerous famous landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, Eiffel Tower, Swiss Alps, and Grand Canyon off his bucket list. He’s also appeared on Jimmy Kimmel and iTV, been featured by the Washington Post and modeled for Honest diapers. What a life! 🤯🤣😍

That said, you can absolutely travel with a cat. It’s actually pretty easy - let me know if you have any questions!

This summer we spent a month in Uruguay with @boundlesslife and I definitely feel like we haven’t had enough time to experience everything this place has to offer 🇺🇾🧉

-> Comment “BOUNDLESS” to get more information on how to join their new summer or winter camp. They offer camp over Christmas in Uruguay when it’s sunny and warm! ☀️

Peruvian Amazon with kids has been one of the most coolest experiences! It’s actually super easy to organize (I swear I’ve done it from my phone very last minute 🤪) and upon arrival you’re taken care of entirely…
Definitely one of the best learning experiences for the kids as well.

Blog post is up -> comment “RAINFOREST” to get it. Full YouTube video coming soon 😎

Anytime I share anything about our activities in France people are surprised. There are definitely many cultural differences and it took us a while to get used to 😉

I also forgot to add that in France many activities and clubs require doctor’s note before starting out.

Overall, I don’t think one system is better than the other (well, maybe the sign-up method could improve in France 🤣) as they both have pros and cons 😉

How does it all work in your country? Or what surprised you when you moved abroad with kids?

It’s much more fun to be a skating parent who actually skates instead of just watching from the sidelines ⛸️

Turns out, it’s never too late to start anything, even if it’s not pretty in the beginning... I actually think it’s much more fun to start a new sport as an adult (after also starting aerial acrobatics in my 20s), especially with your kids, because you can all learn things together and cheer on each other 🥳

We’ll definitely be conquering some wild ice spots next season - feel free to recommend your favorite places😎

We’re finally joining @boundlesslife this summer! This year we’re all going to experience immersive summer camp for the kids and myself… in La Barra, Uruguay 🇺🇾

I’ve shared about Boundless Life before, but it allows families to live abroad for either 1 month over the summer to 3 months per location with everything arranged: school and activities for kids, 24/7 cowering hub for parents, excursions, furnished apartments and most importantly, a community of likeminded families!

It’s a perfect program for worldschooling families, those on a gap year, or digital nomads with kids 🩷

It’s basically a stress-free experience abroad - and we all know that it’s not given if you’re arranging it all on your own ;-)

There are still spots to join me in Uruguay (or other locations) this summer!

If you want to learn more (and get a discount), comment BOUNDLESS and I’ll send you €400 off your next Boundless Life cohort + all the details.

When your hotel room comes with a few roommates… 😅 Staying with walruses was definitely one of my favorite experiences ever 😍

Pairi Daiza is named the best zoo in Europe and honestly having been to other top ones I dare to say it’s THE best in the world! It’s so big you can’t see it all in one day, but you can spend the night on the property at one of their animal rooms.

You can sleep with walruses, polar bears, penguins, bears, tigers. I picked walruses as I heard they’re the most active and they did not disappoint…

Wally the Walrus started banging on the window at 5AM and woke us up to play. He was giving the kids hi5s and clapping, then took a nap by the window (it was too dark to film before dawn, but trust me - it was incredible!🤣)

Follow @anna.everywhere for more tips on traveling with kids and finding unique experiences around the world that don’t need to cost a fortune! 😎 taken in Pairi Daiza by @anna.everywhere

Wondering why you haven’t heard from me in a while? Because I’m way too busy taking advantage of wonderful activities that Haute-Savoie region has to offer in the winter 😎

Way too many people dismiss visiting the French Alps in the winter claiming they don’t ski. While skiing is great around here, there are plenty of other things to do for non-skiers and those with small children: ice skating, sledding, luge, tubing, snowshoeing, igloo making, various events including the carnival…

Lac de Plagnes is about 1.5h from Annecy and it’s completely free to ice skate there if you bring your own skates (if you don’t, they have rentals nearby). It’s actually not the only lake you can skate on (weather permitting), there are various other options, but de Plagnes is never busy and has the best atmosphere ⛸️
