We are by no means expert family travelers. T and I are lucky enough to have traveled solo to over 25 countries collectively, but when it comes to traveling with our children I still get some serious pre-flight jitters. Like, how do other parents look so chill at the airport? Tell me, people!
But now that we’ve traveled internationally with our kids a few times, I feel like we have a better handle on what we absolutely need (and don’t need) when we fly. And I’m intentionally focusing on what to pack for the airplane flight ...that’s always the hardest part for us since we try to limit what we carry onto the plane.
Thomas and I just spent a week in Mexico City with our 3.5 year old and 19 month old kiddos. It was an absolute blast!! But I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the tears and sleep-deprived tantrums (sometimes by our kids, but mostly by this mama!). One thing that kept us all sane was our new stroller Buggy Board and loads of fresh churros. Since we’re currently based in Denver, Colorado, we love that CDMX isn't too far of an international trip for our young kids. Plus there's tons of buzz-worthy, family-friendly activities in the city. It's really a perfect destination for families who want to explore a major international city -- and expose their kiddos to amazing food, beautiful architecture, and a new culture -- without flying halfway around the world.
