Here at HDC, we’re always so envious of travel bloggers who have such amazing stories up their sleeves – from riding elephants in Thailand to bobbing along in a gondola in Venice, they seem to have done it all.

Jetlag and Mayhem is a blog which focuses on travelling with kids and provides plenty of top tips on how to ensure that the holiday goes as smoothly as humanly possible! There’s nothing better than a family holiday and all the memories it creates. We have to agree with Nicola from J&M – there’s no reason why parents can’t take their kids on these great adventurous trips!
