Welcome to Itchy Feet Family — a travel blog created for curious families, adventurous couples, and anyone who believes that the best memories are made out in the world.
We started Itchy Feet Family with one simple idea: travel doesn’t have to be perfect to be meaningful. From family holidays and cruises to city breaks, nature escapes, and the occasional travel mishap, we share real experiences from the road — the good, the challenging, and the unforgettable.
Our Story
Like many families, we wanted to keep exploring the world even after kids entered the picture. What we quickly learned is that travel changes when you travel as a family — but it doesn’t have to stop.
Over the years, our itchy feet have taken us across Australia and around the globe, discovering destinations that work for families, places that surprise adults, and experiences that bring everyone closer together. Along the way, we’ve learned how to balance adventure with comfort, budgets with bucket lists, and spontaneity with planning.
This blog became our way of documenting those journeys and helping others feel more confident about traveling — whether it’s with kids, without kids, or somewhere in between.
What You’ll Find Here
At Itchy Feet Family, we focus on honest, practical, and experience-based travel content, including:
- Family-friendly destinations and activities
- Cruises, short breaks, and longer adventures
- Hotel, resort, and accommodation reviews
- Travel tips, planning guides, and budgeting advice
- Food, culture, and unique local experiences
- Ideas for couples’ getaways and adult-only escapes
Everything we share is based on real trips, real opinions, and real moments — not just brochure promises.
Our Travel Philosophy
We believe:
- Travel is one of the best teachers, especially for kids
- You don’t need luxury every time — but comfort matters
- Experiences are more valuable than things
- It’s okay if plans change (they often do)
- Memories are made in both big adventures and small moments
Whether it’s a weekend staycation, a cruise holiday, or an overseas adventure, travel has a way of bringing perspective, connection, and joy.
Why Trust Us?
We don’t aim to show a “perfect” version of travel. Instead, we focus on:
- Honest reviews and first-hand experiences
- Practical tips you can actually use
- Balanced opinions — pros, cons, and what surprised us
- Content written by travelers, not marketers
Our goal is to help you decide what’s right for you and your family, not to sell a dream that doesn’t match reality.
