Bradt - Kidding Around: Tales Of Travel With Children

Beskrivelse

Traveling with kids doesn’t mean you have to give up your love of adventure. This anthology from Bradt brings together 37 true stories that reveal the ups and downs of exploring the world with children, from babies to teenagers.

Real-life travel tales that capture the joys and challenges of family adventures across five continents.

This lively collection features contributions from a mix of seasoned travel writers and fresh voices from the UK and North America. Among the storytellers are famous names like Dervla Murphy, National Geographic Traveller’s Maria Pieri, and award-winning authors Adrian Phillips and Mike Unwin, along with nature writers Amy-Jane Beer and Nicola Chester.

The stories cover everything from near-disasters and parenting mishaps to daring exploits and moments of pure magic. You’ll read about trekking in the Himalayas with toddlers, sailing across the Atlantic as a family, and cycling around Mauritius for the first time.

Expect entertaining tales such as a mother threatening to abandon her baby with unhelpful airport staff, a dad accidentally taking his daughters to a brothel, and a family arriving hours early for a flight only to miss it. Adventures include paddling with crocodiles, getting stuck on a beach as the tide rises, and little ones bonding with wildlife-like eleven-month-old Rory dining alongside marine iguanas and three-year-old Quin making friends with cockroaches.

Whether funny, thrilling, or simply heartwarming, these stories offer a glimpse into the unpredictable and rewarding world of traveling with children. Perfect for anyone who’s ever journeyed with kids or wondered what it’s like to explore the unknown with little ones in tow.
