That’s Taraneh (mama), Morten (papa), Robin (age 3) and William (age 2), and Marion (2 months). In fact, some of our smallest explorers have never had a home base. Small Folk Travel is our family travel project. We write up our research as travel guides, features, and lists. Why Small Folk Travel? Family travel tends to be synonymous with all-inclusive resorts and Disney. We don’t see it that way.
That’s not how our family travels. We live in locals-only neighborhoods. We like independent restaurants and shops. We are interested in culture. We alternate city breaks with excursions into the wild. Our excursions can be weekend trips or months on the road. When researching our travels, we couldn’t find the kind of coverage we were looking for. We decided to write it ourselves. We think that having young kids is the ideal time to travel. We cover meaningful travel experiences for the entire family. Our coverage is a balance of good stuff for discerning parents and for little ones. Tot-friendly hiking trails in Norway. Cultural family adventures in Paris. Dining in San Sebastian with kids. The coolest family activities in Vancouver. London’s best museums for toddlers. The most gorgeous family beaches in Europe. We pick activities that enrich the lives of all folk, big and small. We think that family travel should be a balance of both. Sometimes we take turns.
