When our family decided to live more sustainably, I changed my focus from luxury hotels to ecotourism.
Now we choose eco-hotels and more sustainable ways of traveling every time we can. I think it is challenging to change the way we move around because most of us like the comfort of air travel. It is practical, affordable, and time-saving. But with global warming and other environmental challenges happening, we have to change our habits before it is too late.
In fact, living in Europe makes it si easy, safe, and reliable to travel everywhere by public transport.
A few days ago I shared my ten tips to surviving traveling with children. I listed Lego, sketchbook, puzzle, and Play-Doh among others but one thing that really changed the way we travel by plane is JetKids by Stokke BedBox.
It is spacious, multipurpose luggage that your child can sit on or be pulled on it. You can easily store toys inside, and it comes with a little mattress that will turn the plane seat into a bed or longer place (if your child prefers to sit).
Traveling with kids is fun if you plan ahead. Otherwise, it can be draining, tiring and drive you on the verge of madness. Especially if you’re traveling by plane.
In this article, I round up our favorite toys (and you can shop them) that saved us when we traveled with Chloe-Sofia on a plane. From puzzles, STEM toys to sketch pads, any mom or dad will find something for their little angel.

And I liked the staff, who was gracious, hospitable, and kind without being cold or detached. We felt welcomed and comfortable.
Lindner Grand Hotel Beau Rivage is a perfect hotel for a romantic getaway. It’s beautiful, easily accessible by public transport, comfortable and affordable four star hotel. You can expect warm welcome and helpful staff, generous breakfast buffet, enjoy romantic dinner in La Bonne Fourchette restaurant and relax in the spa.
I recommend it if you are a family or an older couple that likes traditional palace-style hotels.
Club Med Les Arcs Panorama resort was inaugurated in December 2018. It’s a 4-/5-Trident resort in French Savoy Alps which will operate during both winter and summer season.
Most of the rooms are 4-trident level but if you desire more privacy (the resort’s capacity is over 1000 visitors), personalized service and luxury, opt for accommodation in a 5-Trident Le Belvédère space, that offers 24 suites located on the top of the building. With private concierge, living area, bar, and jacuzzi on a private terrace, all you …
