Best Travel Tips for Families with Children with Alex Pt.1

Hi!
Here are the Best Travel Tips for Families with Children!

1. Give Them a Camera! This will keep your kids busy on hikes, car rides, etc. Make sure it is very durable and has a protective case. i.e GoPro

2. Bring Tablets and Battery Packs. On long rides, or lulls in the excitement, a tablet loaded with games can be a life-saver from "Mommy, are we there yet?" or "I'm bored. I wanna go home"!

3. Have them write travel journals which make for a great, inexpensive keepsake, in which they can write and draw things they've encountered, such as local foods, (which might encourage them to try them).

4. Get a Tracking Device for your kid. With these nifty gadgets, you can access their locations via smartphone or computer.

5.  Get your kids a dog tag with contact info/ write it on their arms, in case they get lost

Seoul Travel Tips Pt. 2 w/ Alex

Hi!
Welcome back to TurbulenceandTokyo!
This is Part 2 of Seoul Travel Tips.

1. Visit the DMZ, Demilitarized Zone and peek into North Korea. But watch out for nukes. And don't cross the line. Don't.

2. If you're meeting Korean friends, or locals, make sure to know the names of the popular K-pop groups. Girls Generation, EXO, etc.

3. DO NOT stay up binge watching Korean dramas. I learned this one the hard way. One you start, you really can't stop!

4. Download the Seoul Metro app, in case you need to take the subway. This was extremely useful as I didn't have data in SK.

5. Bring an adapter unless you live in Europe or Asia. SK uses a 220V power outlet and the plug needs two round pins. ("europlug")

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today and have a great time in Seoul.
I'll probably make a follow-up so bookmark my blog!
