Continuing with our winter destinations, this week it’s all about Sri Lanka. For such a small island, Sri Lanka offers an amazing variety of landscapes, climates and people. Here are the 7 places/activities that our kids will never forget about our trip to Sri Lanka:
1. The Sea Turtles
Along the west coast of Sri Lanka, there is a conservation project that studies and helps turtles in their nesting and hatching habits. It’s called The Kosgoda Sea Turtl4 years ago Read more -
Blog postWith the holiday season approaching and people making plans for the winter break, I decided to gather my “intel” about some of the destinations for which we have a Leap & Hop. Every week, I will focus on one destination and provide some tips gathered from my own family’s experience or trusted sources who travel the way we like to travel with our kids.
Let’s start with Cambodia and, more specifically Siem Reap with kids. As much as we hate to admit it, k4 years ago Read more -
Blog postThe summer is upon us and many will go to or through New York. This blog post will give you a taste of the stuff that’s in our Leap & Hop New York and a little more. With kids of different ages and interests it’s hard to find the right balance. When I say “balance”, I mean balance between museums and playgrounds, nice restaurant and street food, public transportation and taxis, etc. You are pressed for time but you know that in New York, walking the streets is5 years ago Read more

Blog postDuring our visit to Sichuan, the first day was dedicated to cooking. Sichuan cuisine is so unique, that the only way for the kids to fully appreciate (and maybe tolerate) the various spices was to learn how to prepare a traditional Sichuan dish or two. Grandma was also very pleased to have new exotic recipes to bring home.
On the menu: cold noodles, cooked greens, meatballs, ma po tofu, and kung pao chicken.

Blog postIt’s cold, it’s raining, it’s Paris in February, no surprise there. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still the most beautiful city in world. Traveling with my 11-year old son in my hometown, I realised that if I was going to jump from the Louvre to the Eiffel Tower I needed to get some warming fuel on the way. To fight the cold and the intermittent rain, we spiced things up with pit-stops in search of that scrumptious hot chocolate. Our tour of Paris b5 years ago Read more

Blog postIt’s this time of the year again in Paris: time for the Harvest Festival in Montmartre. This edition will be the 82nd Harvest Festival and the theme is “Our Planet”. Starting in 1934, Parisians have celebrated every year the harvest from the small vineyard perched on top of Montmartre in the north of Paris. This is the only time of the year that the vineyard is open to the public. Reservations are necessary for the visit on October 9.

Blog postKids are back at school, time to plan the next vacation! So what’s it going to be?
If you’re a temple-hoping kind of parent, Cambodia should be in your top 5 all time destinations. It can be a little intimidating with kids as there are more than 70 temples in the Angkor complex and more is yet to come. You simply have to manage YOUR expectations. It is not going to be enjoyable if your children are just whining about getting back to the hotel and jumpi6 years ago Read more -
Blog postFor some of us, the summer vacation is not quite over, there are a few days left. Kids are back and hopefully over the jet-lag. How can we make the most of these last moments if we are trying to hold on to this vacation feeling. Let’s pretend we’re just visiting Hong Kong. Here are a few ideas of things the tourist in us will enjoy with the children.

With a few more weeks left of summer break and for those lucky ones (still) in Paris, here is an activity that will delight little and big ones as they stroll through the mesmerizing garden of the Musée Rodin.
As an artist, Auguste Rodin spent his life focused on movement. He used to say: “I always tried to convey internal feelings through the representation of muscles in motion”. In his study and depiction of the human body,6 years ago Read more -
Blog postOne of the reasons I write the Leap & Hop series is the excuse I get to do research with my own children. In addition to the actual trip and testing of the drafts as a family, I need to find out what would peak a child’s interest. Sometimes, I’m totally off but there is no better feeling than getting it right. One of the subjects that I wanted to explore with my 8-year old while on vacation in New York earlier this summer was street art. We became s6 years ago Read more
