Welcome to our blog, Travel Happy Family! We are James, Lizzie and our two boys aged 7 and 5, living in the UK and with a dream to explore the world together.

We didn’t want to stop having adventures when the kids came along; we wanted it more! We have been travelling with the kids since they were babies. Join us as we share our families travels, both near and far, in Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Oceania.

Travel Happy Family was created by me, Lizzie, a mum who loves to travel, living in the Cotswolds, UK with my husband and children. Travel Happy Family is all about travelling as much as we can with our kids, and hopefully providing some insight and inspiration to how you can travel with your family, too!
