The World First Wander: Crohn’s disease, surfing, tots and tats.
Learning to surf. Best fun ever.
Welcome to another installment of the World First Wander, our weekly look at what’s hot in travel writing and blogging. This week we are going to take a look at Crohn’s disease, surfing and passport photos for tiny tots. Oh, and tattoos.
We start off this week with a great post on Crohn’s disease. If you were unaware of it, it is a long term condition that causes inflammation of the lining of the digestive system. It can affect any part of the system and results in ulcers, pain fatigue, pain and diarrhoea. Living with Crohn’s – and a similar condition, ulcerative colitis – can be difficult. Travel, even more so. For some getting Crohn’s Disease Travel Insurance can be difficult enough. Happily, as medical travel insurance experts, we can help. Get in touch.
In the meantime, if you are one of those 100,000 or so people in the UK living with Crohn’s – or would like to read more about travelling with the disease – then our first post is for you. It’s from @misslizzybarlow and is entitled Travelling with Crohns disease.
With the summer holidays just around the corner now is the perfect time to look for a new activity to take up. If you find yourself at the seaside it has to be surfing. We wrote a while back about some of the best surf spots in west Cornwall. Some say it’s the best surf in the UK. Whatever you think, taking the kids surfing is a brilliant activity for summer holidays. We promise you that nothing beats seeing the huge grins on their faces when they catch their first waves. Have a read of Learning to Surf from Challenge Sophie for an idea of what to expect from your first lesson.
A contentious issue next. Some people are so moved by travel experiences that they feel they want to commemorate it with something permanent. Yes that’s right, we are talking tattoos. While it might not be for you, there are a lot of people who love them and think very carefully about having tattoos that mean something to them. And that’s what this next post is all about. And if it’s any consolation, tattoos divide opinion here at World First. Some of us (me, Tristan) have more than the average number of tattoos, while others do not. And yet some of us (me, Tristan) say getting a travel tattoo is a no no, while other (the rest of the office) say they would. How about you? Read Travel: the ultimate tattoo inspiration from Travelettes for inspiration.
Baby Passports next. If you have ever tried taking a suitable baby passport photograph and really struggled to get it right then this one is for you. It’s from Tots to Travel which is one of our favourite family travel blogs. It is How to take a Baby Passport Photo. What is it they say about working with children or animals?
If you are travelling with children this summer then it’s always helpful to get some tips and ideas from other travellers who know a thing or two about family travel. With the next post, 40 Tips for Travelling in Europe with your Kids you will definitely find something for you that you may never have thought of. A great travel post from @FlashpackerFam.
Next up is Toniwonitravels with some brilliant advice on packing. If you have ever agonised over it – we have – then it’ll come as a breath of fresh air. Toni’s travel blog Reclaiming my Future has had a recent revamp so it’s definitely one to add to your list. It’s on ours. Anyway, back to packing. Have a read of The ultimate packing List for everybody and start making plans.
Until next time.
