What we packed wrong at the start


Hey Reader,

When we first started traveling, we packed like we were going on a short holiday.

You know the thinking.

Better to have too much than not enough.
Just in case.
We might need it.

So we brought more than we needed.

Extra clothes.
Extra “options.”
Things that felt useful at the time.

And for the first few days, it didn’t seem like a problem.

Then reality kicked in.

Moving between places.
Packing and unpacking constantly.
Trying to keep track of everything.

And then the extra costs started showing up.

Baggage fees.
Weight limits.
Repacking at airports to make things fit.

It added friction to almost every travel day.

Nothing major on its own…

but it builds up quickly.

Since then, we’ve simplified a lot.

Less stuff.
Fewer decisions.
And a much clearer idea of what actually gets used.

It’s made moving around easier, and avoided a lot of unnecessary costs.

I ended up writing out exactly what we changed (and what we’d leave behind next time):

Hey Reader When we first arrived in Latin America, we thought we'd keep things simple. Just use roaming. Job done. No researching SIM cards. No comparing providers. No figuring out which network worked in which country. It felt like the easiest option. The problem? It was also the most expensive. At first, we didn't think much about it. A few pounds here. A few pounds there. But over time those charges started adding up. A quick Word from our sponsors And because we were travelling long-term...

Hey Reader, Before we left for Latin America, we spent weeks worrying about what to pack. Extra clothes. Extra shoes. Extra medicines. Extra "just in case" items. Like most families, we were trying to prepare for every possible scenario. The funny thing is, the more we packed, the less confident we felt. Every item seemed important. Every gadget felt essential. Every extra jumper somehow became a necessity. Then we arrived and realised something. Most of the things we worried about bringing...

Hey Reader, A few months ago, I would have told you the first thing we book is accommodation. Or flights. Or maybe even airport transfers if we’re arriving late with the kids. After travelling through Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, that’s no longer true. Planning a Trip soon? This is the travel insurance we've been using across Latin America Check SafetyWing Coverage The first thing we book now is peace of mind. That sounds cheesy, but hear me out.
