photos from paros
Paros, Greece As part of last week’s Photo Friday, Heather over at HeatherOnHerTravels posted a beautiful view photo taken on Zakynthos, Greece – there’s an intriguing story behind the photo which you should check out too 🙂 Her photo from this Ionian island made me think – wistfully, I might add – of the many Read the Rest…
halloween blogapalooza
Tara, Ireland I grew up in a rural Irish town next to Tara, the mythical capital of Ireland. Today, Tara doesn’t look like much – all that’s left are the impressions much older structures left on the landscape. All the same, it doesn’t take much for me to imagine what Tara would have been like Read the Rest…
introducing a destination to your child
Introducing a new place to a child is very different to introducing a new place to an adult. If you say “Paris” to most adults, they will likely think of the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and the Champs-Élysées – regardless of whether or not they have ever visited Paris. If you say “Paris” to a Read the Rest…
wandering in the market in turkish nicosia
BigB, Lefkosia (Turkish Nicosia) Nicosia/Lefkosia is an interesting and intriguing place to visit which is unfortunately missed by many people who fly into Limassol or Paphos and head straight for the beaches. We based ourselves in Paphos for most of our time in Cyprus, but prior to the trip, once I learned that it is Read the Rest…
planning family ski trips

when the wind blows
Cyprus is a strange place with a fascinating history. Since before the Middle Ages it’s been at the crossroads of Christian and Muslim societies. Even today, an international border bisects this tiny island into the (Greek) Republic of Cyprus in the south and the Turkish Republic of North Cyprus. The south of the country has Read the Rest…
kids food and travel
My children are disgracefully fussy about food. I’m not going to even try to comprehend why. The genetics involved (i.e. mine and the WanderDad’s) should point towards adventurous palates with a penchant for hot and spicy. The reality couldn’t be further from the truth. I did an experiment once, and fed them their favorite food Read the Rest…
long haul flights with little kids
A little confession: I have a fairly haphazard collection of photos of trips taken with my kids over the past 12 years. I’m not a photographer and I regularly just plain forget to take my camera with me when I’m out and about. But I’m learning and I’m also working on cleaning up my digital Read the Rest…
