Why you can trust what you read here

We only write about the trips we took with our own kid.

Before you book a flight across the world on someone's advice, you should know where that advice comes from.

  • We were there. Every page says when we visited and who traveled with us.
  • Every photo is ours, taken on the trip the page is about.
  • The numbers are real: transfer times, days, how long things took, in plain tables.
  • We tell you what we'd do differently, so you don't repeat our mistakes.
  • AI helps us draft from our notes. We read and check every page before it goes live. How we write

Questions parents ask us most

Do the games need Wi-Fi or an app?

No. Every game is a PDF made for the phone screen. Download it once and it works offline: on the plane, in the car and abroad without roaming.

Do I need a printer?

No. Your kid plays by tapping on the phone. The bingos come with a ready print page, and every other game prints too if your family prefers paper.

Which ages are the games for?

The bingos have a picture card for ages 3 to 6 and a word card for 7 and up. Kids Take Over is for 7 to 12. 36 Questions is for grown-ups.

Will the ticks be saved?

Yes, if you open the PDF in Files on iPhone, in Chrome or Drive on Android, or in Adobe Reader. Previews inside Gmail or WhatsApp do not save ticks.

Who writes the travel answers?

Our family. Every answer is from a trip we took with our son, with the month we were there and how old he was. We do not review or rate hotels.
