By car, by boat, by train or plane, we’ve got you covered.
As a family who loves exploring, we’re often asked how we plan trips, find activities, and pack everything we need for our daughters. Over the years, we’ve discovered a few partners that genuinely make traveling simpler—and we wanted to share them with you.
GetYourGuide – Experiences You Can Trust
From city tours to nature adventures, GetYourGuide helps us find unique, reliable experiences for our family trips. Whether it’s a guided walking tour, museum tickets, or a fun hands-on activity for kids, we’ve found it makes planning our travels so much easier.
Here in our ‘storefront’ you can see a snippet of some of the activities we have tried or favourited for future trips.
And here is an example of the activities we booked on our recent trip to Florence. We saved SO MUCH time by skipping the queues and lots of money too.
If you don’t yet have the Get Your Guide app, you can download it here. It’s free to use, you just need to register (Name & email). Here’s the link: https://gyg.me/teriapopolotravel-app
Once you’re in the app, you can browse any activity. We like to search by town/city and see what there is to offer, but you could also try for example ‘Museums in Florence’, or ‘boat trips in Sicily’ and something would pop up! It’s super easy to use.
Bonus: You can use our code TERIAPOPOLOTRAVEL5 to get a little 5% off perk for your next adventure!
Temu – Durable Travel Essentials and Toys at Accessible Prices
We know some readers may worry about sustainability when it comes to sharing products from platforms like Temu. We completely understand, honestly we think about this too with so many of today’s purchases! That’s why we only highlight items we genuinely use: high-quality toys that last, practical travel essentials that withstand repeated trips, and tools that make family life smoother. All of the items in our store front are things we have genuinely used and found helpful both in day to day life and while we travel. Lot’s of these are sanity savers!!
Our goal isn’t to encourage unnecessary purchases—it’s to help families choose wisely, invest in items that last, and make travel more enjoyable.
Our must have items for family friendly travel: https://temu.to/k/eyvzjcr12pj
You can see here a selection of small toys that have made a huge difference to how our girls have managed on long road trips, during airport delays and while waiting for their dinner at restaurants. Kids aren’t built to sit still and be quiet but we want to make sure they are as calm as possible in certain places so that we are mindful of other peoples experiences too. Quick travel friendly activities like the Look & Find puzzle book, legos, playdoh or the LED drawing pads are honestly sanity savers. They are small and easy to transport, they keep the girls busy and help us make our travel that much more comfortable and enjoyable.
Here are a few more of the products we like. They are all saved in the link above.
We hope you like the products that we chose to share with you. They genuinely have made a difference to us and we love to share what works for us with other families who want to embrace travelling with their little ones. It can be daunting, but with little tips and tricks like this up your sleeve, it will be plain sailing!
