Instagram families who travel are taking over our Instagram feeds! We firmly believe that travel opens children to a world of possibilities. Whether you’re ready to pack up all your belongings and lead a nomadic life or start a road trip around Australia during the next school holidays, these Instagram accounts show that travelling can be family-friendly and a ton of fun! Here is a collection of our favourite Aussie family travel Instagram accounts to follow –
@courtneyadamo
Courtney was on a tulip farm in the northwestern corner of America. She studied journalism in Chicago, started her career in Los Angeles and then moved to London with her future husband where they lived for 12 years and welcomed four children: two boys and two girls. Two years ago they sold their house, packed their bags and set off on a year-long travel adventure around the world. After falling in love with Australia on their travels, Courtney and her family decided to move to Byron Bay, Australia. She welcomed her fifth child, a baby boy, in March this year.
@mumpacktravel
Solo mum Evie and her 8 year old daughter Emmie have been travelling since leaving Sydney on 1st February 2016! Evie says “I’ve always thought that in 10 years my daughter Emmie wouldn’t thank me for installing a brand new kitchen and bathroom in our home, but she would thank me for filling her early years with amazing experiences, learnings and sights and sounds from around the world.”
@wyld_family_travel
The Wyld family are from a small country town in East Gippsland Victoria, Australia. Mark got the travel bug way back in 1999. Since then they have infected their two daughters Willow and Marley with discovering all the different wonders of the world. With their travels, they are hoping to inspire as many people as they can to get out there and travel! So many people think it is too hard, too expensive and too restricting to travel with small children, but they are here to show everyone that it can be done and most of all that a wonderful experience can be had by the whole family! They juggle full-time jobs, school, a mortgage and life with fitting as much travel and day trips in as possible.
@globetrottinggrommets
A family of five based in Perth, April, along with her husband and their three kids have travelled everywhere from Europe to New Zealand and everywhere in between! As a travel agent by trade, their account is filled with family travel, hotel reviews, and plenty of helpful tips to make travel, child-friendly.
@mylittleadventures.com.au
Based in Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, Kelly is a mum of two little adventurers (aged 5 and 2). They’re a busy family with a growing business that involves a lot of travel in Australia and they also love to travel overseas. Kelly says, “It’s an adventure. Without the bad or difficult bits, I wouldn’t get the incredible lifelong memories and experiences that come with travelling as a family. I do it because I love to explore, escape and grow. I do it so that my children can experience the world and be better for it. Quite simply I do it for the smile it puts on my boys faces and the wild excitement in their eyes when we embark on a new adventure.”
