    Great tips for travelling around the Greek islands! My extra tip would also be to allow sufficient time on each island – every one has its own culture, identity and history which you need to immerse yourself in.

      Hey there! That’s a really good point. It can be easy to want to cram it all in and see everything, but part of the beauty of the islands is relaxing and soaking it all in. In my opinion, it’s better to see three places over the span of a week or two, rather than 5 or 6 in the same time period — so you’re not constantly on the go.

    We’ll be travelling to greece next July (2021). Our idea is to charter a sailboat, maybe in Athens (as a couple we like to sail and enjoy it a lot), and wondering places to go in 1 week. What do you recommend? Thanks!

      Hey Fred! That sounds incredible 🙂 Definitely take a look at this post: https://www.theblondeabroad.com/guide-to-best-greek-islands/

      Santorini and Mykonos are usual pitstops (and for good reason!) but it really depends what kind of vibe you’re after. Some places are more geared for romance, or partying, or outdoors — so consider that.

THIS is my travel sidekick I cannot fly without 👇

Did you know that 1 in 4 flights are delayed or canceled? It’s enough to make you go mad… unless of course you have @airhelp!

AirHelp is a flight & claim tracker app that is a complete lifesaver on travel days helping me...

✔️ Track unlimited flights (no ads, no limits)
✔️ Get real-time updates for gates, terminals, and baggage claim details
✔️ Receive automatic alerts if I’m eligible for flight compensation
✔️ See my travel history log with a built-in travel map (my favorite part)

Honestly, I wish I had this app sooner! It would’ve been a game-changer on long-haul flights with my toddler. Whether you’re a frequent flyer or just planning your next adventure, this is one of the smartest tools you can have on your phone.

Download the @airhelp app today and fly with peace of mind.

This might be the last car seat you’ll ever need 👇

We’ve trusted @cybex_usa since Ollie was a newborn. Through flights, road trips, and every adventure in between, @cybex_usa has been with us around the world.

As a first-time parent, I admittedly went through more car seats than needed. Now, there’s the Callisto G 360. 🙌 

It’s designed to work from newborn up to double digits, which means no more swapping seats at different stages.

This seat features 360° rotation, a one-time install, and SensorSafe alerts, making travel days and everyday drives so much easier (and safer!) 💛

From toddler to big boy, this year’s birthday gift called for something a little extra special. Something that builds confidence and a love for adventure. 

That’s why I went with the EZ Bike from @royalbabybikes. 🚲
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
It’s designed to help little ones learn real balance with their “slide before ride” philosophy.

@royalbabybikes believes training wheels inhibit kids from learning real balance, creating a false sense of mastery whereas the EZ Bike helps kids learn proper balance faster. It starts as a balance bike so kids build confidence without relying on training wheels, and with the quick-release crank, it easily transforms into a pedal bike when they’re ready!

@royalbabybikes’ slogan “Once a RoyalRider, always a Loyal Rider” means their mission is all about inspiring kids to embrace biking and enjoy the outdoors from a young age. They’ve been Amazon’s top-selling kids’ bike brand for years, with award-winning designs built on research and development, it’s lightweight, easy to ride, and actually fun for kids to use.

Ollie was absolutely in love with his birthday gift and was off exploring within minutes — safe to say we’re officially along for the ride!
