We're Marcus and Sophie, dragging our kids Leo and Isla around the planet since they were tiny humans. What started as "let's see if we can survive a flight with a toddler" has evolved into a proper obsession with finding places that don't make us want to fake our own deaths by day three. We've learned the hard way what works (and spectacularly what doesn't) when travelling with kids. No Instagram filters here - just honest accounts of our family adventures, complete with meltdowns, wrong turns, and the occasional triumph. Whether you're planning your first family trip or you're a seasoned veteran looking for your next destination, we've been there, survived it, and lived to write about it.
We took the kids to one of Ireland's most remote islands, accessible only by boat when the Atlantic cooperates. Abandoned villages, wild landscapes, and the kind of adventure that makes Leo forget his Nintendo Switch exists.
