This article has been in making since our very first travel when our little guy was 3 months old, which is when we went for the first longer travel. He’s 18 months old now (year and a half for those who hate month notation) and we did a fair bit of moving around, both by […]

Lessons learned after eighteen months of being a first-time dad
