If you follow the Zena’s Suitcase Instagram account, you’ll already know that I’ve had quite a few Berlin city breaks over the past 18 months. I’d like to think that this makes me an expert when it comes to things to do in Berlin during a weekend away. With a flight time of less than…
Cornwall is a really beautiful part of the world, and we are going to be spending half term getting to know the area a little bit better. I’ve been very busy putting out travel plans together and I’ve found the very best activities to keep the kids entertained, even when the weather is plotting against…
Planning a holiday to Australia is a big deal isn’t it? It’s a really long way to travel if you are taking a trip from the UK and making the most of your time in the country is going to be a top priority. When we visited the UK, we contacted Reiss Edwards to help…
Having discovered what a beautiful part of the world Devon is this year when I visited with Indie I am desperate to go back with the rest of the family next year. I know that Brook will love the outdoors experiences as much as we did and the OH is always happy when we don’t…
This year I have come to realise that Germany is a fantastic destination for family travel. When I was given the opportunity to visit the country again to find out about the best things to do in Hamburg with kids, I knew I wanted to share it with Brook, my 3 year old daughter. We left…
The UK is an incredibly popular travel destination for families, couples and solo travellers. We receive over 37 million visitors a year and that’s pretty much set to grow no matter what they tell you about Brexit and the economy. A large proportion of those visitors come to the UK for their holiday from France,…
I have been lucky enough to visit Berlin twice this year, and it’s a city that’s starting to feel very familiar to me. If you are thinking about which city to visit in Europe I can definitely recommend Berlin for so many reasons. There’s lots of interesting historic and modern places of interest in Berlin…
I was really inspired by how much fun my daughter and I had on our road trip around the south of England this summer. Travelling with kids can be a fantastic experience for the whole family, but how you approach it can make all the difference. We very much enjoyed spotting otters in Devon, and…
I promised you a few posts about what we got up to in Menorca after our stay at Royal Son Bou Family Club so here’s our family travel guide. This is all about things to do in Menorca with kids to help plan your holiday to this beautiful Balearic island. I spent quite a while with…
Until recently Berlin hadn’t been a city I’d really thought about visiting. I was lucky enough to be invited to the city by the Chamäleon Theatre, who were keen to showcase what Berlin had to offer as well as their latest show, Scotch and Soda. My whirlwind tour of city definitely changed my opinion of Berlin as…
The alarm was set, but the clocks were due to go back in the early hours. I foolishly put my faith in my smart phone to update to the new time automatically, and wake me with enough time to get ready before leaving for the airport. The alarm went and low and behold, I was…
Since we visited Amsterdam, so many people have said to me they had not thought of taking their children to the city, which I think is a real shame given that there are so many things to do in Amsterdam with kids. In the UK, Amsterdam still seems to have a reputation for being an…
If you need an itinerary for seeing Amsterdam in one day you have definitely come to the right place. This is my favourite European city, and even with just 24 hours in Amsterdam you can experience the best of what this popular European destination has to offer. Amsterdam boasts a vibrant culture, many inspiring places to…
Amsterdam is one of my favourite European destinations by far. I have been lucky enough to visit many times and if you haven’t been, you really need to add it to your bucket list, like now! I know the liberal attitude the city has towards sex and drugs can be a little off putting for…
