6 Tips for Traveling Abroad with Kids (while keeping your sanity)

5 Tips for Traveling Abroad with Kids!

I am pleased to have Dr.Bande Virgil, who is a pediatrician, a world traveler and a blogger, share her tips on traveling abroad with kids!

Intro from Bande: My husband and I are kindred spirits in many ways, our values, our hobbies, our vision for family and life. Both of us have always been world travelers. He grew up in a military family and spent a year alone working in Honduras. My family is originally from South Africa and we travelled everywhere with our parents. As a married couple without kids, travel was as natural as breathing for us.

When our family expanded, we found ourselves committed to traveling locally and internationally with our children despite what many folks consider to be a wasteful expense. We had people tell us all the drawbacks of traveling abroad with kids. They won’t remember the trips many said. It will hinder your experience of the places you visit we heard from others. In some instances this is all true. For example, there is no more late night dancing until the sun comes up in countries we won’t return to. It does take us longer to move from point A to B. It is also true our young children may not always remember the details of the trip. 

However, we’ve managed to find new adventures and a way to appreciate the world through travel as a family. We have found that the positive impact of traveling abroad with kids far outweighs any drawbacks. We have created memories through photos and keepsakes that will last a lifetime. Also, I firmly believe that although the details of the trip may be lost, the concept of being a world citizen imprints in a lasting way in young children who travel. So, here are a few ideas that may make your international travel with children smoother.

And, keeping kids healthy while traveling abroad is very important. Here is a post written in September 2019 by Dr.Nadeen White that covers how to plan ahead for a trip abroad with kids including obtaining vaccinations and medications, what to pack, red flags to look out for while traveling and on your return home.

6 tips for traveling abroad with kids:

1. Research child/family friendly places:

There are many resources available to research friendly places for family travel. Depending on the flavor of your family, you may prefer sticking to the tried and true touristy experience. Or, you may want to veer off the beaten path a bit and experience cultural immersion. If that is the case, do some research in advance. This is especially true if you are going to do self-guided travel. Make sure that the country you choose is stable from a political perspective, has fairly good infrastructure and be aware of health facilities in case your child experiences a medical emergency. We enjoy traveling away from the tourist heavy parts of a city to experience the local flavor. We usually rent a car which gives us freedom and allows breaks for the kids. Don’t forget to travel with your car seats or book a reservation with a car rental company that offers car seats as an “add on”.

2. Surviving a Long-Haul Flight:

We took an 18 hour flight from Atlanta to Durban and developed a strategy. We make these flights work by opting for direct flights. However, it’s pretty great having layovers because you can actually create two trips out of one. The flights may also be cheaper with more connections. But younger children get weary of the transitions and restless until you arrive at your final destination. Book flights in the evening when possible. This works great because it can coincide with your child’s natural rest time. Pack their PJs or comfortable clothes, lovies (special stuffed animals or blankets), and turn off the inflight entertainment to create “bedtime”. I do not recommend Bendaryl or Melatonin be given to young children for flights. Lastly for crying babies, first thing is to not feel embarrassed. This is a normal natural phase. Travel with a light baby carrier so you can walk the airplane aisles with your baby to soothe them. If you are a nursing mom, breast feeding helps soothe them during take off and landing as altitude changes affect their ears. For bottle feeding infants you can try the same with a bottle. As for toddlers, we all know they are a variable rowdy bunch. Keep them entertained the best you can and pray! Remember as long as an international flight may seem, this too shall pass.

3. Be flexible, prepare for the unexpected:

I am a type A personality in my professional career (physician) but when it comes to travel, especially with my children I try to disarm myself of this. It’s good to have a general itinerary and list of things you wish to accomplish on your trip. However, I really caution parents against rigid schedules. Inevitably, something unexpected will come up while traveling, but this is even more likely when traveling with children. Time tables and schedules will need to be pliable in the event of a substantial diaper incident, an exhausted toddler who needs a longer nap time, meltdowns, or if there is interest in spending more time in a certain area. I also find that having a rigid itinerary puts pressure on everyone and can take the fun out of the trip. Everyone fixates on being at a location in a timely manner and may lose out on the moments of the experience. However, while traveling abroad with kids, some scheduling is necessary. Stick to a few key items to accomplish for the day and a general time table.

4. Bring a few items to remind them of home:

Kids love adventure but are comforted by routine. Sleeping in an unfamiliar place, hotel, rental home, Air BnB, condo or country can be unsettling. While traveling abroad with kids, bring an item that can remind them of home. For our kids we allow them to pack one small favorite toy. Night time can be tricky for a family who is sharing a space when each of you are used to your own rooms. Also, pack nonperishable snacks from home. If you have a picky eater they may not enjoy some of the snacks from other countries.

5. Make it educational:

Before our recent trip to Mexico, we pulled out a map with the children and showed them where we were going. We talked about geography in basic terms, what is the USA and what is Central America. We reviewed a few words in Spanish that they are also learning in school. Then we talked about the different kinds of foods we would try. For a place like Mexico that already has a significant cultural penetration in the US, it was fairly easy. If you’re traveling to more distant places this may be more challenging. But, using the internet and visiting museums are a great start. If you live in a bigger city, there will be enclaves of ethnic restaurants available to expose your kids to international cuisines. It’s also a great way to explore your own city.

6. Above all be patient:

I can’t underscore this enough. Something will go wrong. I compare traveling with kids to a wedding day. There’s preparation but even with the best laid out plan and rehearsal, something will go wrong. It doesn’t have to be catastrophic. Give yourself plenty of time for transitions. Pack snacks and pack all documentation inclusive of birth certificates or notarized affidavits for children if you are traveling as a solo parent. Pack patience or learn to take slow deep breaths before reacting. This way you will have a great trip and enjoy the memories created!!

I hope you have found these 6 tips for traveling abroad with kids helpful. What tips would you like to share?

    A great travel tip is to make sure you give yourself enough time to check out of your hotel. A lot of hotels will charge you steep fees if you don’t manage to check out of your room by the time that they specify. Always give yourself enough time to check out.

    • Nadeen says:
      4 years ago

      Good advice! Thx!

    • Bande Virgil says:
      3 years ago

      This is so true and such great advice! There is always that last minute mad dash to get EVERYONE up and out, make sure nothing is left behind. Check out day is always an adventure in and of itself with the family lol!

  7. Daniel Warner says:

    This is a really enjoyable post. I like your idea. Your post is really very helpful for travel. Thank you for shear a great information.

  8. Guy Toponto says:
    3 years ago

    Great tips! Especially like your points on flexibility.

    I have seen some parents run a holiday like a drill sergeant. Despite good intentions of maximizing their family’s holiday, this seems to suck the joy out of the trip.

    • Nadeen says:
      3 years ago

      I totally agree. Thank you for reading and commenting.

  9. Gioko P. says:

  • #WineWednesday What a beautiful sight! 🍷🍷🍷😍😍😋😋

Let’s talk about allyship for a sec. What does it mean to you? Have you seen true examples of this in the past year? I know this word has been overused and beaten into the ground since last year followed up by being a “performative ally”. But when I see someone making an effort and doing something to make a difference, it’s worth applauding. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

A fellow @oprahmagazine Insider told me about Master Sommelier @andrearobinsonms because she was awarding scholarships for her virtual “Great Wine Made Simple” course to women and BIPOC wine students & enthusiasts interested in furthering their wine studies. She thought I would be interested in applying. I did. Andrea reached out & asked me to take the class but play a supporting role based on my previous experience as a wine blogger, author & WSET Level 2 wine certification! I was honored. The class has been very informative interactive & fun! 

Andrea has picked stellar wine professionals as mentors for the scholarship students taking this course. They are from all different backgrounds & experiences across all niches in the wine industry. I am sure they are having an amazing experience!!!! This is what being an ally looks like. Using your privilege, connections, and experience to open doors and provide opportunities for others. The wine industry, like so many other industries, is lacking and needs more Diversity, Equity & Inclusion. So Thank You. 

Oh back to the pic. This was just 1 delivery 🚚 📦  for the course filled w wines from Italy, Spain & Germany! 😋😋😋

Happy Monday Everyone! I’m trying to go into the week, the last week of Black History, with this mood and attitude! 👏🏽

You may have seen my post on National Women’s Physician Day that only 2% of all Physicians are Black women. We are truly unicorns and I stand proud to represent this profession and to make my ancestors proud 🩺 

So let me tell you what breaks my heart 💔. That after 25 years of being a M.D.-medical doctor and actually practicing medicine and seeing patients for 25 years!!!, I’m still constantly questioned by people who aren’t even in the science or medical field 🤔🤔
Could it be because I’m female? Black? Both? 😡🤬

Ever since this pandemic started I have been on top of it. My first blog post on COVID19 went viral and I appeared on @cnn I did countless webinars and podcasts informing and educating the public including the travel community. This year I published an article on the COVID19 vaccines 💉 and shared my experience receiving the vaccine on social media. But STILL when I simply comment on a thread on social media as a medical expert to correct misinformation I face backlash and MEAN comments! Even in predominantly Black travel groups. It’s exhausting. I had to take a break. I tried again today and the person deleted the thread. I’m at a loss. People do not want to be informed. I don’t get it. 

But I will hold my head up high. I went into this profession to serve. For those who are still having doubts about the vaccines 💉 please read my article-“7 Compelling Reasons to take a COVID19 Vaccine” which includes summaries of the vaccines & research studies. The link is in my profile. Happy to answer any questions. Stay safe everyone!

  • It’s going to be an exciting weekend of wine!!! 🍷🍷🍷
I’m celebrating Black winemakers this weekend by attending the first annual International Winemakers Summit being held by @urban_connoisseurs and @uncorkedandcultured 
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

When I first started my blog over 6 years ago I always had a WINE section. I have also always supported and blogged about Black-owned wines and winemakers from @mcbridesisters @houseofmandela early on to 5 1/2 years ago when I had the pleasure of visiting the first Black-owned winery in Napa Valley @brownestate during my Bachelorette weekend 
A year later I stopped by @rideauvineyard in Santa Ynez Valley, had a blog post on a Black History month Black-owned wine tasting go viral, met Andre Hueston Mack of @maisonnoirwines here in Atlanta then did a road trip a few years ago to the PNW and stopped by @frichettewinery and @abbeycreekwine the first “hip hop winery” in the PNW. 

All of this inspired me to curate a list last year of over 45 Black-owned wineries, wine businesses, even podcasters..!! I also pursued & received my first wine certification last fall. WSET 2 with distinction 👏🏽👏🏽🍾🍾

It will be a pleasure to listen & learn from these trailblazers this weekend and be able to show continued support. Head to the link in my profile to read my blog post and to @urban_connoisseurs to register for the conference this weekend!

  • Since it’s #nationaldrinkwineday I thought I would share a few pics of one of my favorite wine 🍷 tours and wine areas that I visited in 2019. That was such an amazing year of travel!!! 

PORTO in Portugal 🇵🇹 was amazing! It’s the home of Port wine and even if you are not a fan or don’t think you are a fan of fortified  or sweeter wines you have to try them if you visit the area. They have all different styles including white port. 

We did a tour @taylorsportwine which has a self-guided walking tour of the history of port wine making, Porto, the Douro Valley and port wine trading. It was very interesting. And swipe to see the pic of my forever POTUS President Obama! 
Taylor’s port is available in the US so you may have tried it. 

Have you been to Porto or tried port wine?
