Me After You

Travel: Grounded With Kids


Listen Later

If you're expecting, a new mum, or wrangling a toddler, we have all the best resources for new parents in our free newsletter here.

Ahhh travelling with kids. Back in the days when we could actually travel beyond our home suburb, this was a topic that everyone had an opinion about, and no doubt will again. Whether you want to travel overseas or hit the road for a camping trip, going away with your baby can be stressful, complicated and judged by family, friends and even strangers.  

In this episode of Me After You, single mum and writer Evie Farrel tells us how she packed up her entire life and now travels the world with her daughter Emmy. You’ll also be hearing from another solo mum, Nama Winston, about how challenging it can be to travel when you child has allergies. And Melanie Dimmit shares how her life dramatically changed when her son was diagnosed with quadralplegic cerebral palsy, and how the diagnosis transformed travel for the family.
