Who’s excited for the holidays this year? We are! Holidays, whether abroad or at home can really make a difference to your overall well being. As grown ups we know that holidays allow us to switch off from the daily grind and really enjoy putting all our focus on our families and ourselves (self care is so important). But apparently holidays are EXTRA super-uber-good for children’s well being and particularly their development, as it tickles their exploratory and play senses. Well… that’s definitely the perfect excuse to get your holiday plans ON this year.
I know we can’t do everything, but here’s a list of places that we really, REALLY want to visit soon. Whether this year, or in a few years time. Let’s just say, it’s our dream destination bucket list for 2019.
Every kid (and big kids) dream place, right? I have always wanted to go to Disneyland, Paris for as long as I can remember. But, it’s so expensive! I never quite made it there as a child, so vowed that if I had children, they would make it there before hitting their teens – for sure. There are so many tips you can find to make your trip go smoothly. At the moment I’ve been face-planted into the following bloggers pages for the inside scoop:

Now Cyprus isn’t a new place for us at all. But I can’t tell you how much Nissi beach calls to me… from all the way over here in chilly England. I have the best memories of the warm sea, hopping across to the little island in Nissi Bay and oh gosh… that food! No where does THAT food better than Cyprus. It’s high time that we head back over and show Little Button her heritage up close and personal. That, and I’m completely in love with Nissi Beach resort because of its family atmosphere and lush gardens that roll down onto the beach! #OnlyInCyprus #AnyExcuse #NotAnAd (obviously)

This has been on our list for ages and ages! The only thing putting us off has been the long journey from London. But now we’ve got our new and somewhat bigger drive, I remain hopeful it’s going to happen soon. Those beaches and that glorious sunshine coast to explore is too good not to enjoy, especially when you already live in the UK, right?
My favourite place to look for holiday inspiration to Cornwall is over at Life Unexpected – because there’s nothing better than getting the inside scoop from a family who live there.
This is actually 1 of 2 places that Little Button says is on her ‘must go to’ countries list. She’s completely in awe of Hawaii, and I have no idea how she found out about it as a travel destination. I have a sneaky feeling Moana has something to do with it. Either way, it’s the stuff of dreams and I’ll definitely be joining her!
I’ve recently found the Wanderlustyle blog which is all about Hawaii…. If you’re planning to come too?
Nope, nothing to do with football. This is the other place Little Button desperately wants to visit. And I know it’s all down to school as they have been covering Brazil as a topic. I think it’s completely unleashed her inner adventurer!
WILD is now out in Spanish!

Awww thank you for the mention lovely there’s some amazing places on your list. I hope you get to some of them this year. Brazil has been on mine too for as long as I can remember xx
Iceland is top of my list…still chasing those Northern Lights. And the Great Wall of China…#DreamTeam
Well at least I’ve been to Disneyland [aris … #DreamTeam
All of those destinations sound so exotic and exciting! Hope you can visit them all! 🙂
I second Cyprus for family holidays, so much so see and great weather. And Disney is a must! Though we do fancy several places in Germany too. Rothenburg Aub Tauber has been on my list for ages…#DreamTeam
I loved Cyprus, and would love to go back! It’s the hottest place I’ve ever been though! Some great destinations there…we usually go to Ibiza but are having a ‘staycation’ this year, off to a holiday home in West Wales for a week! Let’s hope we have nice weather! #DreamTeam
Well, that’s a post I absolutely had to read – always like what dream travel destinations others have. Yeah Brazil and Mediterranean island are on mine too, hawaii isn’t a bad idea either…. #dreamteam indeed 😀
I would love to visit all of those places. I am excited for vacation this year. We are going to the beach and I can’t wait to just relax and hear the waves. #dreamteam
Can I hide out in your suitcase? #dreamteam
Sounds lovely with a beach, anywhere that is a break from the mundane life of 9-5 is a hit with me X #dreamteam
Some great destinations on your list here x #DreamTeam
Brazil is actually on my list too. One of those places I have always been curious to visit!
I hope you get to tick off some of these destinations this year.
#dreamteam
Hawaii yes please! We are still enjoying Summertime in Australia, so when winter comes I’d love to escape to a tropical paradise and swim with turtles. #DreamTeam
DISNEY!!!! I am so excited you got to go. And now I go in 3 weeks! Also, I’d be happy to answer Hawai’i questions since I was born and raised there. I can tell you the insider places to visit. #DreamTeam
I hope you had an awesome time at Disney. If you do head to Cornwall check out the Retallack Resort. We have stayed there twice and its very nice. I love a good gander at travel locations although we have headed to the same place in France every year since the twins arrive 🙂

We went to Disneyland Paris about 8 years ago, we were left feeling a bit disappointed as it cut us a fortune for 2 days and we managed to get on 4 rides in that time. I love Cornwall and long to go back. Little Button has superb taste #dreamteam
Hope you make it to Cornwall, honestly it isn’t that far, I can do London for a weekend with the family so you an do Cornwall! #DreamTeam
I want to go to all these places!! We were meant to be going to Cyprus this year but unfortunately can’t afgord the flights. We are going to Venice in a couple of weeks and I can’t wait!!xx #dreamteam
We haven’t done Disney yet as we’re waiting for the youngest to be a bit older, but we can’t wait! #DreamTeam
I would love to do something around the northern hemisphere or New Zealand. However I think it will be Cornall again this year (apart from a trip to South Wales)
