- How to travel the world with your baby. This video includes tips and ideas including, flying with a baby, what kit to pack, how to stay fit and healthy, how to prepare healthy food on the road and what kind of kit we recommend you take with you.
On and off, we have been traveling for over 20 years and have explored more than 160 of the world's 193 countries, it’s been quite a journey!
We are the Newbys, John, Tara, and our two little boys Crusoe and Sawyer. We’re a family who are pursuing an alternative lifestyle, and after two years of full time travel we’ve taken root on an abandoned farm in Northern Portugal which we’re renovating into our dream off-grid homestead. We release new videos every Sunday sharing our story, and we’d love for you to be a part of it with us. Please remember to SUBSCRIBE if you haven’t already, it’s free and super easy to do and it helps us hugely.

Great video , great advice will def do this when I go away with my 10 month old . Thank you xx
Hi Anna, Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. Super pleased you found this video handy. Let us know how you get on with your own trip! 🙏❤️👍
We have two grown children, this video brought back memories like it was yesterday! Children do not come with a manual, you create your own, and you seem to be doing it exceptionally! ~Cara 😊
Hi Cara, Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. Thank you for such a kind comment, such enthusiasm and support for our family is so very welcomed. Thank you. Thank you! 🙏❤️❤️
How beautiful. Had a tear in my eye remembering my own travels with my kids. And one last tip if I may - enjoy every moment (even the bad) because before you know it they are all grown up and off making their own way in the world - as it should be.
Thank you friend. That is such excellent advice. Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. ❤️❤️👍
Travelling with loved once always will be good memories😊 I had a trip by pedal with my husband and still remembering it. Maybe your baby will not remember, because he still small, but you will. It is so beautiful feelings for all the life❤
Wow what an experience this must be for you Guys and your son. One day when he looks back at these video's he is going to be so proud and happy that his amazing parents took him on all these amazing places😲😊👌
Hi Celia, Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. We are having such a wonderful experience and journey, we hope it never ends!! Crusoe, we hope looks back as we will with excitement! Thanks so much for taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🚐
My baby is now 16, but i still loved this video. Crusoe looks so happy and like he's having such a fun time. What wonderful memories you are capturing in these videos for him to look back on when he is older.
Thanks Lucy, that’s so great to hear and we really appreciate such kind comments. It means a lot to us to have you along for the ride.

This was so good, just packed full of practical advice!

Hi guys :) This was a good episode 👍This gave clarity to what has certainly made most people think.
Well planned is half done. Crusoe becomes a real Tarzan and traveler. Fun to follow bold trips.
Tip: Make agreements with product sellers for which you will receive a commission.
There really is nothing wrong with that. That’s what most video makers fear viewers will be hurt.
All people should understand that no one can play those videos indefinitely for free. We are on the move 🎅🏼❄️🇫🇮
Thanks so much friend, we really appreciate your feedback and it’s great to hear that you enjoyed this episode. And yes, we have been approached by brands to work with us and we’re gearing up to it, just wanting to make sure we partner with the right ones 😊 have a super week and see you on Sunday. ☀️
Great tips you are amazing family enjoy your videos
Thanks Karen! Great to hear from you friend! 👍❤️

Hi Anouk! Thank you for you lovely comment, please do share the video, that would be really great! Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 🌍❤️🙏
Wonderful tips thanks for sharing

Thanks for tuning in Sharon! 😊
Hi John and Cara, I’ve been binche-watching your episodes for a about 2 weeks now. Love them! We’ve been traveling with our kinds as Babies too. They are 21 and 18 now and for the first time They won’t come along to our next journey next July. Our first time to Namibia and Botswana. Lars was 9 months when we first flew to Cape Town and surroundings and avoided the malaria area’s. We went back to SA several times, loved the safari’s. Going to Enjoy Some more Africa traveling now! Keep up the Good work! Love all the info you Guys give. Belgian greatings!
Hello Veerle! Thank you so much for writing to us, it’s always such a pleasure to connect with like minded parents and we love that you traveled with your children. How exciting that Botswana and Namibia are adventures coming soon, you’ll love them - both truly incredible country’s. Thanks for your support of our channel and work, we so appreciate it. All the best and chat soon!
These are really good tips! You are all great travelers!
😊🙏🏼❤️
That was so interesting and I really enjoyed it. My son is now 34 so thankfully I can just please myself when heading off in my campervan! Thanks for sharing your adventure.
Thanks Sylvia, that for sure frees up some space! 😉 great to have you along.
Yes love this products
Thanks Delia!
Thank you for all the tips and advice. When it comes to traveling it helps to know these things. Very much appreciated 😁👍 until next time, God bless🎈
Thanks Doria! Really pleased that you found it useful x
Excelent, brilliant vídeo!
Thanks Christina!! 👍👍❤️
Such a great idea to inspire others to travel with a baby or toddler! My 3 are in the early and mid 20’s now but they were always great little travellers. My first two (2 little boys) I took on many flights during our 3 years living abroad and I can definitely vouch for feeding at take off and landing. Never a cry when settled in my arms and protecting their ears this way. And I so agree with everything else you talk about …. Happy and continued safe travels 🥰
Thanks so much Tiina, so great to hear from you and to hear your experiences with your own kids. It’s an adventure of its own and we’re loving it!
I watch this video over and over! I learned so much!. When I talk about traveling with my future baby people scoff and laugh at me and they make it sound impossible. They tell me " oh you won't do that".. This video gives me so and for much information and helps me feel more confident to travel with my little one! I can't imagine a life where I don't travel.. And I can't thank you enough for posting this video to help me exclamation
Thanks Heather! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. we wish you all the very best with your travels and when you are out on the road with your baby it will be great fun. Good luck, let us know how you get on!!
It's such a joy watching the changes in the little man. Children are way more adaptable than adults think. If you confine them, I think you stunt their curiosity and their courage to explore. There was one shot of him with some crazy hair. I used to call it bed head, some of the best memories. Even though he won't remember, you have these videos to show him. Can't wait until Sunday. I watched the video about the chicken and laughed hysterically. Stay safe and happy exploring.
Thanks so much Cathy, your comment totally hits the mark and we love it. Our biggest dream for Crusoe is that he grows curious and brave to explore and appreciate the world in all its wonder. Means so much to have you along for the journey, and we still get a good giggle out of the chicken story 😂 have a super week and we will see you on Sunday! 😊
Awesome tips and advice. I love that tent. I like you are going the plant diet. He has a wealthy knowledge already. He loves being on the road with ye.
Thanks Peter! The little man loves to travel that’s for sure. 👍👍
Love to see that you are giving it all - 100% right away! Never forget to give the kid som Makara on the way!
Thanks Meinart, Crusoe will have to enjoy a vegetarian makara one day 😉 thanks for being here friends. 😊
Crusoe seems to be such a happy baby! Travelling as you are means that he's got two people always ready to share the childminding rather than just one as the other goes out to work. Three out of four of my kids got travel sick so it wasn't something i enjoyed when they were little!. The point about being adaptable is very valid too as he seems to be in a stable routine now but that will change! Looking forward to Sunday, travel safe!
Thanks so much Claire, he is definitely a very happy little chap. And yes, having us both with hands on deck makes all the difference, we’re so grateful for that. Sorry to hear about the travel sickness, and yes - we’re certainly going to have keep adapting and changing as he grows, what an adventure it all is. Thanks so much for being a part of our adventure. 😊
Crusoe’s having a great time thanks to you Mum and Dad, again I have to laugh when I see him eating and just happy, he is looking very much like his dad especially with his hair ruffled 😁great video for parents just a bit unsure of travelling. Enjoy 😊
Hi Denise, Great to hear from you friend, its been quite a week! crusoe LOVES his food, he is almost 10kg now. We don’t know if that big, but he certainly feels heavy!! He’s also been crawling this week!! Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🌍❤️
Fantastic mom♥️♥️♥️♥️
Ahh wow, that means the world to me 🙏🏼
Love the high chair
Its a good one!!
Great video thanks!😊
Thanks NJ!
Because I cannot pass on a Newby video, I watched with a bit of a tear because my baby days are long gone. You four are very sweet, I'm enjoying your journey!
Thank you Polly! Crusoe sends lots of hugs and we all send our thanks for watching. great to have you along for this adventure. 🇵🇹❤️🙏
What a wonderful life🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Thank you friend. It really it the best life. Great to have you along for the ride. :) 🙏👍 Have a happy new year. 🎄❤️🌍
Hi there this is Anna Maria great advice where were you when I was raising my four little ones by myself and you are right they will tell you when they've had enough they're very smart our children thanks for the video stay safe 🙏🤗
Hi Ana Maria, thank for watching! You are so right, Crusoe is so patient with the travel and with us, we really hope it benefits him in the long run. fingers crossed! Thanks so much for your support and for watching. 🙏👍☺️
Is my pleasure I enjoy your show thank you
Really enjoy your vlog! I'm a grandmother but I remember well taking our boys out all over Scotland where we lived for 16 years. BTW, we made the decision to never carry our children on our shoulders when our oldest fell off and fractured his skull. Of course accidents happen, but I always share our experience in hopes that it will help someone else. Safe travels, you're an amazing family!
Thanks so much for such a lovely comment, and for the tip! We will definitely be extra careful with the little guy when he’s on our shoulders. Have a great week friend 😊
Thank you 🙏
Thanks Karina!
The most important thing is a mindset that everything will be ok and also preparation for unexpected situations :) 👌😎🌄
Exactly Azia222! Thanks for your support, friend, it's always great to get a comment from you!
The most beautiful baby angel 🌹❤️I became addicted to the canal 🚌👨👩👦
Ahhh thank you 😊
What an amazing journey you guys have had. Love Carol stay safe x
Ps crusoe is a brilliant name!! ❤️
Thanks Hixxy Ted! So nice to hear your support and that you like Crusoe's name. THANK YOU friend!
Crusoe you are so lucky little man in earth.
We love the little man! Thanks for watching Delia!
Lovely baby
Thank you!
Greek philosopher Aristotle said "Give me the child until he is 7 and I will give you the man" as a mum of 3 men now I know this to be true. The messages we gave them (even subliminally) the rules we set when under 7 seem to be deeply imprinted in their personalities, they take in SO much as babies, they may not remember it in a literal sense but what you are doing is imprinting on his personality the love of travel, exploration and adventure. I will eat my hat if he turns round at 25 and say "I hate travelling!!!" haha. I think you are BRILLIANT parents, and your children are SO clever to have chosen you both!!! xx
Thank you Gergana!! That sounds incredible! Goodluck with your renovations in Bulgaria. Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us friend, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🇵🇹🏡
Cute baby
Thanks Arun 👍
Thanks Arun 👍
Superb videos sir madam cute baby
Oh my god, i can't wait what the next journey what will you go. Iam really love your happy family.
Hi there Didik Wibo, great to hear from you again. Thanks for watching. The adventure is just getting started!! 🚐🦒❤️
@@TheNewbys ok, i will always waithing and keep watching.. 🤗
I've been watching this clip now few times and taking your brains how to prepare for our first big family trip outside of the European continent (yikes)! 😅 Thank you so much for all the fab tips and inspiration, not just in this video - it was in fact your Glencoe video which inspired and encouraged us to take a road trip in Scotland when our son was 10 weeks old. Just like Tara I was really nervous first but then thought, heck, if others can do it why can't we?! Lots of love from our family to yours ❤️
Hi Lulu! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. What a lovely message and story you have. We are so pleased that you just decided to go and get out there, if there is any message more important that we want to share, it is that children can join the adventure.
Well don’t to you and have a wonderful next adventure, your baby will be all the more brave and wise from the experience. (Crusoes 2nd word is raff (short for giraffe)! Brilliant. 🦒😊🙏
@@TheNewbys I had to come back and say that without this video we would never had thought about such type of high (or should we say low?) chair - brilliant tip! We got one before our great adventure and it proved to be priceless there 🙏 Thank you for all the tips and inspiration ❤
@@luluelme thank you friend. 👍👍
Hii.. It's really love to see vedio.. Love from ladakh
Thank you so much 😀
Great Video! Could you do an update on flying and visiting South Africa with a toddler?
👍👍👍 probably on the Explore channel soon. Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. 🙏❤️
Crusoe is an angel... some babies don't sleep in the car and they will cry all the way...
Hi Rudy, you’re right he is a real angel. Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. 🙏👍
I was looking for a video like that. All the others are more like going on a plane with Babys as a vacation mode. Like staying in hotels and going to the beach. Which is nice but not my way of living. I don't live in a van an usually travel by train but I love being on the go with my kids. It gets more complicated when they get taller - my oldest is 4 now - but also more fun since most of the time my husband can't join. I'm curious about your next videos and will subscribe. Thanks!
Yay we are so happy you enjoyed that episode Magret! We can't wait for you to see what else we have been up to. We post a new episode every Wednesday and Sunday ❤️❤️❤️
What a heartwarming episode, can't wait to start my adventures with my partner in our van once it's finished. The dream maybe one day will be this 🤗 how did you manage to maintain the heat in Scotland for the wee man? (we are from there, and its bloody cold in a house rn) 🤣 amazing videos guys, watching every week x
Hello Hannah! Really great to hear from you and to hear that you’re headed off in a van with your baby 😊 in Scotland we added some extra insulation over the windows and gaps with lots of blankets, and also wrapped the little dude up nice and warm. A diesel heater would have been handy so something to think about for you guys maybe? Great to have you along for our adventures. 😊 ☀️
Caruso is in good hands.
Thanks Bill 🙏🏼 means a lot to us friend 😊
Hi Tara John and Crusoe,wow them niagra falls so beautiful the water mist you so get wet in That ,seams everyone loves Crusoe just like I do he so beautiful so contented he is full of happiness, Tara you sure done your research on the sun protection and insect repellent well done ,may I ask what colour eyes dose Crusoe have with the fair hair I would think blue ,I love the pop up play tent to keep the mosquitoes and things at bay ,well guys I really enjoyed this blog you are wonderful parents,good luck on this journey till next time take care keep safe drive careful,John 🌹🎄🎅🏻🤷♀️🤷♂️🙌👍🙏👀👀🙇♂️
Hello John! 👋🏻 as always, so great to hear from you and we so appreciate your kind comments. Crusoe does indeed have blue eyes, just like his dad 😊 have a super week and we will see you on Sunday. ☀️
Outstanding video. Beautifully filmed and great advice and tips. However, you didn't cover what IMO are the top two deterrents for traveling with a small baby: diapers (nappies 😄) and what to do if your baby needs medical care.
Ah yes thanks for pointing that one out friend. Thanks so much for watching 😊🙏🏼❤️
Very good advice, even for older kids and some adults😂
Thanks so much Angie, we appreciate that!
Thanks for the tips! I'm wondering what do you do for a living? could you talk about your costs maybe? :-)
Hi Chiara! Thanks so much for tuning in and for the questions, next week we’re hoping to release a question and answer episode so will add this to the list - watch this space! Thanks for being here. 😊
New sub here. I’ve just started watching all your vlogs. I’m a bit confused as I couldn’t find a vid that said why you moved from the cottage when C was born and you then travelled and then moved to Portugal. Do you still have cottage? Do you still want to travel? Are you staying in Portugal to build up a little. B&B? Sorry for all questions…
Thanks for subbing Dawn! We still have our home in the UK, and we will always travel - it's in our blood. At this particular point Portugal is where we want to be so let's see what the future holds for it all.
😍🥰🥰🥰🥰
🙏❤️👶👍
Hey i just subscribed what how do you get postage when you're travilling?
Hey Charleigh! Wonderful to have you here with us, thanks so much for subscribing! We have an address in the UK where our post goes, but most of it is all online now so it’s pretty easy. Have a happy Sunday and look out for our latest episode later today, from the red sand dunes of Namibia!
That's very interesting, when I grow up I wan't to fulltime live in a van also, I turned my notifications on for when you post that video I can watch It as soon as i can. Allready love your channell keep up the great work. ♡
Thanks Charleigh, very best of luck with your ambitions, make sure to always think Big Be Brave and Explore, and if you need any travel advice drop us a line. 👍
Did you get push back from family for traveling too much with your infant??
That’s my worry with doing this but we have to do stay together as a family because his work is everywhere and I’m remote.
Hi Emi, no pushback from family, we just went for an adventure and found it to be great fun. Good luck friend. 👍❤️
@@TheNewbys That’s pretty awesome to hear :) Love seeing families do this!
@@TheNewbys How did you get no pushback. I'm still pregnant and get negative comments about the lifestyle being unstable and definite insinuations that we should purchase property and live everyone else's life.
My baby was unconsolably screamcrying for 5month staight, I could not even do the grocery shopping without rushing out as quickly as possible not to disturb others. She was a constantly fussing baby after that phase and now she is a whining trantruming toddler. We booked a wellness trip, ended up coming home after 2nights it was that awful. How the heck are we going to ever travel anywhere with a kid like that?😭 Any tips?
Hi Réka, Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. We are so lucky with Crusoe that he is a very chilled little dude. Having said that, he is currently having a fit of rage that only a ten month could possibly have, and for what… we have no idea, except to say it’s quite remarkable that lungs on a baby that small can much such a noise. Just moments earlier he was “dancing” to the lion sleeps tonight. Who on earth knows what goes through little peoples brains. Like you we just each day as it comes, making the most of quiet moments and feeling puzzled at some of the loud moments. We can’t think of any really solid advice to help, except maybe trying to start out with day trips every weekend to get her into the habit of being on the move, and try and find things she might enjoy while you’re out - play parks, petting zoos and places with other kids maybe? Good luck friend, parenting isn’t always easy and we hope she settles into it for you soon 😊
One more question. You don’t work so how do you fund yourselves?
Hi Dawn, we do work, we work remotely so we are fortunate to be able to base ourselves anywhere. Thanks for being here.
