Bridges and Balloons co-founder, Victoria, describes herself as “100% travel geek”. Alongside her husband Steve, the two have been running a successful travel blog-turned brand for the past nine years, promoting handpicked, unique itineraries, filled with beautifully designed places to stay and ways to experience life like a local.

“I specialize in putting together itineraries (especially road trips and city breaks) that are ideal for people who like to discover the creative side of a destination,” writes Victoria in a recent Instagram post. “And I also create guides to the most special places to stay around the world, from Airbnbs to glamping to hip boutique hotels.”

Favoring a local style of travel, independent stores over chains, and unique experiences (rather than must-sees), the seasoned travelers admit to loving places that have a story behind them, featuring both budget and luxury styles. “We’ve been traveling since March 2012,” they shared in an interview with Never Ending Voyage. “We’re definitely more suited to slow travel.”

Traveling with two small children, Otis (3) and Arlo (1), also shaped the way they experience the world and, in turn, write about it. “We were apprehensive before having Otis about what family travel would look like, and if it would mean sacrificing style, but we’re delighted to say that hasn’t been the case and we’ve done some of our most exciting trips yet with the little one in tow,” they write on their blog.

Describing their traveling style as creative, cozy, independent, bohemian, boutique, slow, design-led, and characterful, between Victoria and Steve the two have been to 50 countries (!). Whether you’re traveling solo or taking your kids along for the ride, you’d want their guidance.

Traveling with kids has its ups and downs, but things usually get tricky when you’re planning a visit to a major city. Picking the right destination is key to avoiding a family trip from your worst nightmares, and taking these three steps will help you get there.

Short Commute

Unless you’re traveling by car, getting around the city you’re visiting may not be a fun experience. Either go for a city with a really amazing system of public transportation, or for a smaller town where all the attractions are a short walk away from each other.

Learning Lessons

You may enjoy spending hours at art and history museums, but your kids may not feel the same way. That doesn’t mean they won’t be able to learn anything new during your trip—there are many interactive kid-friendly museums around the world, and you just have to choose the city that has one.

Fun and Relaxation

If the main goal of your trip is to have fun and relax with your family, you should consider booking a trip to a city that has two attractions that all kids like—a beach and a theme park.

Traveling can be stressful as it is, but traveling with a family makes it even harder. If you’re trying to plan a trip with your family, whether that be your own children or nieces and nephews, here are some great tips to help you along.

Include Them

The best way to get a child excited about a vacation is to make them a part of the conversation. For example, you can do some research about activities to do and then give them an option of 2 or 3 to choose from. This is giving them indepedence and autonomy while still figuring into your grander plan.

Breaks

No kid can walk around all day in a city without getting a break. A good place to take a break would be to find a park in the city and go chill out there for even 30 minutes to give them, and you, a break. You could also just go to a cafe or ice cream shop and hang out there and read a book while they relax or color.

Food

Depending on where you go, the kids might hate or love the cuisine. If they are on the pickier side, make them a deal that they have to try one new thing every day, but they can choose what the new item is.
