Family Travel Tips & Baby Travel Guides from a UK Mum

Welcome to my little slice of the web, where the adventures are big, the mess is real, and the coffee is essential.

I’m Claudia – a chronic overpacker and travel-obsessed mama to my wild-haired little explorer, Roman. In his first year of life, he visited 12 countries. (Yes, twelve and yes, I’m still recovering!) We’ve zigzagged through India’s colourful streets, chased sunshine in Zanzibar, even spotted lions in South Africa (while praying Roman wouldn’t throw his sippy cup out the safari truck).

Travelling with kids isn’t easy. My goal isn’t to convince you that it is or that I have it figured out (I don’t). It’s to show you that you can absolutely do this.

Whether you’re about to take your first flight with a newborn or you’re already a seasoned pro at changing nappies in airplane bathrooms the size of a shoebox, I’m here for it. The good moments, the chaotic moments, the moments where everything’s on fire and we’re all just pretending it’s fine.

This is the messy, unfiltered, “why did we think this was a good idea” reality of travelling with kids. Welcome!

Following an incredible year of maternity leave, I found myself asking the questions I imagine so many other mamas do:

Who am I now?
What am I meant to be doing?

That’s how Roman Roams The World came to life.

I had countless baby travel tips, hilarious “WTF just happened” moments, and a camera roll bursting with proof that adventure doesn’t stop when you become a mama. But more than that, I needed something to help me rediscover myself – and I have a feeling you might be looking for the same thing.

I used to think family travel meant matching linen outfits and kids who just… behave on planes??? Now I know it’s about so much more than that. It’s nothing going right but also Roman laughing so hard at absolutely nothing that I forget I’m currently living my personal hell.

Motherhood has definitely flipped my world upside down – we’re not the same women we were before, are we? But we’re far more capable than we ever imagined, and if you’re feeling a little lost in the motions of motherhood too, I hope this blog inspires you to start today. Start travelling, start a business, start a new hobby, start breathing life into something that excites you – just start!

If you’re ready to laugh through the chaos, find your own purpose, and embrace all the incredible moments that come with travelling with kids, I’d love for you to join me on this journey.

With love,
