Please tell
us about TheLittleTravelers.com
and how it started
It started when the girls
were 3 and 5. I had been waiting for this age before I could travel
again, since that was my 'green light.' No more diapers, strollers or any
extra 'stuff' at that point. So when they reached that age, we were off
and running. We went to Japan first since I had lived there for 3
years in my early 20's, so it was a natural beginning.
Tell our
readers about the LittleTravelers DVD series.
The Little Travelers
takes a look at what life is like for children in other countries. What does
a 5 year old's birthday look like in Japan? What do kids order when out
to eat in Iran? Do faeries really live in Ireland? All the
important things that children would like to know about a country are included.
What is the
most exciting place your family has traveled to? What place did the children
enjoy the most?
So hard to say... the girls never
answer this question when people ask them. They really don't have a
favorite. There are aspects to each that they hold particularly dear and
those are the sushi restaurants in Japan with the traveling sushi, the week on
the horse caravan in Ireland- I regularly get asked when we will live in one of
those, the 'cotton candy' of Iran, staying in castles in Germany and the
massages in Bali are a few that stand out
Have you
remained in contact with any of the people or families that you have met during
your travels?
The internet
makes that soo much easier than before- so yes
Three words
to describe your family.
Fun, adventurous, calm - we
recently realized we are very calm after an extended stay with some friends who
weren't. We really don't make a ton of noise when the three of us
are together. One person speaks at a time, no yelling. I never
realized how much I appreciated this until recently.
I would love to take my son to Japan one day. Maybe within the next five years. We have to do Italy, Spain, and England first though. LOL. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMy kids *love* The Little Travelers. Would love to see some new additions to the series!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see that we have some fans of The Little Travelers!
ReplyDeleteJapan is definitely on my Travel List but we don't have plans to bring the kids. My husband wants to take me around and give me a chance to explore without inhibitions but at the same time, i know that my 8 year old would totally appreciate the history and the culture of the Japanese so the mommy/educator in me doesn't want to be selfish. We'll see. Great interview. Gotta check The Little Travelers out.
