07/20 TRAVEL EXPERT CAZ MAKEPEACE, Y TRAVEL BLOG, TRAE BODGE, SUMMER SURVIVAL GUIDE

TRAVEL EXPERTS CAZ AND CRAIG MAKEPEACE - FOUNDERS OF Y TRAVEL BLOG - TRAVEL TIPS

In a recent Today Show article Caz and Craig Makepeace, Founders of Y Travel Blog, discussed how they turned travel into a brand-as well as how they travel full time as a family with their two young daughters.

THEIR TOP 5 TIPS FOR TRAVELING WITH YOUNG CHILDREN?

  • In order to deal with finicky eaters, encourage them to try new things-but pack snacks and a sandwich just in case
  • No fuss trips: on an airplane? Try to fly direct.  In a car? Pack an entertainment bag for the kids
  • Find activities that the whole family will love-the Makepeace's love stand up paddle boarding
  • If money is an issue, stay close by!  Even a weekend an hour away is a vacation!
  • Try to minimalize wardrobe and toys, but don't go to an extreme
