Having been to over 40 countries, the idea behind this blog is to bring family-friendly itineraries and tips, destinations, and luxury stays to the readers.

“Italy is a dream that keeps returning for the r “Italy is a dream that keeps returning for the rest of your life.” – Anna Akhmatova . . So true! Although my family and I love to explore new destinations, Italy would be worth going back to. Shots from our family trip when the chipmunk turned 5 years old. . . One part of our trip was taking in the arts, architecture, food and history in the cities of Rome, Florence and Venice. It is quite a lot to take in one go, so one has to go back. And we got just a glimpse of the Tuscan countryside and the serenity it offers. . . The first 3 shots cover the magnificent Colosseum, Forum and the Palatine Hill. Unmissable if you are visiting Rome. The next 2 cover the beautiful Duomo and it’s bell tower in Florence - a city so steeped in arts and culture that ambling around is akin to strolling through a museum. A quick visit to San Gimignano and Sienna in the next 2 shots. And finally, the beauty that is Venice. . . #zestinatote #familytravel #travelwithkids #familytimes #familyblog #familyblogger #traveltogether #kidstravel #travelkids #indiantraveller #indiantravelblogger #indianmoms #travelmama #outdoorfamilies #luxurytravel #Showthemtheworld #ActiveFamily #FamilyAdventure #gofurther #ig_italy #instaitaly #igersitaly #loves_italia #gf_italy #vscoitalia #romeitaly🇮🇹 #florenceitaly #sangimignanoitaly #veniceitaly #architecturephotography
Continuing with the #throwback family travel serie Continuing with the #throwback family travel series, the summer was spent in different parts of Europe mostly on work. So we got the time to do a #roadtrip in #srilanka🇱🇰 in November that year. . . #lanka offered more than just spectacular #sunsets. From wildlife in national parks to the stunning #sigiriyarock, from beaches in sleepy towns like #tangalle to ambling on the ramparts of #galle fortress - Sri Lanka was a wonderful family trip. . . Also the year my daughter learnt to pose for the camera 📸 😂. Swipe to see! . . #zestinatote #visitsrilanka #travelmama #familytimes #gofurther #familyblog #naturediversity #outdoorfamilies #naturephoto #ActiveFamily #FamilyAdventure #familytravel #landscape_captures #Showthemtheworld #takethekids #travelwithkids #indianmoms #indiantravelblogger #indiantraveller #travelkids #natureaddict #traveltogether
For #throwbackthursday, I offer you spectacular su For #throwbackthursday, I offer you spectacular sunsets 🌅 from the Emerald Island. Postcard-worthy, aren’t they? Which of the 4 do your prefer? . . We saw more than amazing sunsets in Sri Lanka, but details of that road trip in another post. Right now, enjoy the nature show at #tangalle beach sipping cocktails 🍸 @amanwella_resort. . . . #zestinatote #throwback🔙 #familytravel #travelwithkids #exploringtheworld #familytimes #familyblog #familyblogger #traveltogether #indiantraveller #indiantravelblogger #indianmoms #travelmama #outdoorfamilies #Showthemtheworld #ActiveFamily #FamilyAdventure #gofurther #skyporn #sunsetsniper #skylovers #sunrise_and_sunsets #sunset_hub #sunsetlovers #visitsrilanka #srilankatravel #srilanka🇱🇰 #srilankatourism
The one time when husband and I extended a work tr The one time when husband and I extended a work trip in #switzerland🇨🇭without our daughter, it was put down as parenting fail mark against us. 🙄🙄 . . Taking your kid everywhere with you certainly sets expectations in one way! I bet some parents may be dreaming of a solo trip in future sans kid or spouse, what with families locked up for such extended times together. 😂 . . #throwback to this short break where we explore the beauty of #lauterbrunnenvalley, did a short hike to #bachalpsee, saw the stunning snow capped peaks at #jungfraujoch, with #grindelwald as our base. . . Bernese Oberland region is a sure beauty! Swipe to be enthralled. Recommended for anyone - solo, couple or families. #physicaldistancing easy to manage. . . . #zestinatote #familytravel #travelwithkids #familytimes #familyblog #familyblogger #traveltogether #kidstravel #travelkids #indiantraveller #indiantravelblogger #indianmoms #travelmama #outdoorfamilies #luxurytravel #Showthemtheworld #ActiveFamily #FamilyAdventure #gofurther #inlovewithswitzerland #exploremyswitzerland #igersswitzerland #ig_switzerland
See Local. Do Local. The way forward for 2020. . . See Local. Do Local. The way forward for 2020. . . Apt #throwback🔙 to waking up to snow on the first day of 2014 at Sitla. My daughter saw and played with snow ⛄️ ❄️ for the first time. Grand way to bring in the new year, isn’t it? . . Are you dreaming of a beach🏝 vacation or the hills ⛰ later in the year? . . #zestinatote #indiatravels #indiatrip #familytravel #travelwithkids #familytimes #familyblog #familyblogger #traveltogether #kidstravel #travelkids #bringthekids #takethekids #indiantraveller #indiantravelblogger #indianmoms #travelmama #outdoorfamilies #Showthemtheworld #ActiveFamily #FamilyAdventure #gofurther #incredibleindia #photographers_of_india #indiagram #storiesofindia #indiaclicks #mukteshwar #sitla
This is what I feel like doing some days....nothin This is what I feel like doing some days....nothing. This virus has forced some of us to slow down, others to think / adapt / work at a frenetic pace. . . I am reading much more on tactics / thoughts on how different sectors would adapt to the current pandemic reality - retail to airlines to dining to leisure travel to automobiles. Here in India, I think many of us would head off for a road trip to a nearby place as our first trip. Domestic travel would be the way forward world over in 2020, I think. . . This #throwback to #bandipur made us realise that short getaways work better for us with friends / family with kids, else there is too much time spent on engaging the solo child. (The little miss was quite a handful at age 2+). . . Even though we enjoyed the elephant 🐘 viewing at #bandipurnationalpark, the best part of this short vacay was time spent at @theserairesorts doing nothing. Swipe 👉 for more nature views and stunning vistas. . . I am dreaming of a short road trip to the hills this summer. What about you, any thoughts on how and where in your country would your first trip be? . . . #zestinatote #familytravel #travelwithkids #exploringtheworld #familytimes #familyblog #familyblogger #traveltogether #kidstravel #travelkids #indiantraveller #indiantravelblogger #indianmoms #travelmama #outdoorfamilies #luxurytravel #Showthemtheworld #ActiveFamily #FamilyAdventure #gofurther #incredibleindia #photographers_of_india #indiagram #storiesofindia #indiaclicks #indiatrip #indiatravel
