Anyone Travelling with Children?
hi I am 51 and have a young daughter who i travel with regularly, using our Defender camper van with a CRF 250 rally on the back. We have traveled most of Europe, Iceland, Norway, Ukraine etc but i would love to do Morocco or the Stans etc but really would like to travel with a like-minded group/other vehicle or bike with kids. Just gives a much better sense of security traveling together, and also nice for the kids to play together at the campsites etc. So plans for 2020 are - could easily do Morocco in either Feb or March, then will head north to East Iceland for end March, Northern Norway for early April (to avoid the crowds), cross to Russia at Murmansk, south to Kazakhstan and Tibet. Again i am super easy and have a relaxed timetable (my daughter has a correspondence school), so really a post to see if anyone out there has similar interest or situation. I have posted a pic of our rig. Get in touch if anything interests you in the above or you want to meet up on the road. thanks dean

on the road
hi everyone we managed to get to Turkey for 4 months, then took ferry to Odessa, arrived there Sunday, now wild camping near Kherson and will slowly make our way north to Kiev and then onto Russia. Anyone around, need some info, drop me a line. Ukraine is as great as ever, no Covid restrictions, no masks (except supermarkets) so all good!!!

Did you was able to connect to other travellers with kids till today?

I did meet travellers with kids severall times - but guess it is not that easy to connect with each other.

This can help at least to look who is nearby:

I did`nt find a helpful ressource, but with googeling for "Overlanding with Kids" you can find a lot of travelblogs, but no easily way to conncect.

In Portugal with our 6 year old daughter
Greetings to you! We are in Portugal with our self converted camper van, however it is not a 4x4, i have just purchased an XT350 and a trailer for it, we like it here and are surrounded by dirt tracks. Always looking for new friends for us and our little girl and we are open to traveling.
Not sure if we will settle here long term, depends what happens with the insanity and where this leads to.
You would be welcome here, nice little farm and Portuguese family, good place to winter the possible coming storm.
All the best, Tom Sarah and Sunrise.

Travelling with kids is very exhausting for me. I've been in a long flight with my nephew, and it was a very bad and difficult experience. My husband is always talking about children - but I definitely don't want any kids. I am even thinking about abortion, I have found some interesting ideas and essays on https://samploon.com/free-essays/abortion/ and I don't think that I am ever going to have children.

You think that travelling with a nephew is exhausting - try living with them, they help you to redefine exhausted!
