I'm Carrie the face behind @ablondesadventures, and this is my first blog post. Welcome! I hope you'll stick around and follow my adventures.
For those who don't know me, I've been married to my best friend for 4 years, we have a beautiful baby girl, and I'm an independent travel agent. So, if you ever need any help planning your adventures, please get in touch. I'd be happy to help.
I've also been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes for over 5 years. Suffering from a chronic illness means travel isn't always easy, but I never let it stop me from having fun!
I have written a number of guest blogs and though it was about time I actually stopped procrastinating and wrote my own, so here it is!
"Fill your life with adventures, not things. Have stories to tell, not stuff to show."
This quote really resonates with me, especially now that we have a little girl. We wanted her to grow up experiencing life rather than being at home watching others have epic adventures via a screen. This also factors into our decision to homeschool her.
So my main reason for starting a blog is so that she can have a travel diary, as such, to look back on when she's older, of all the adventures we took her on.
I also enjoy sharing my experiences from my holidays with others and if my blog helps even one person on their next adventure, then that'll make me happy!
All our family adventures, big and small, from day trips, exploring our local area, to further afield on our international trips.
A few tips and tricks, the mistakes we made and what we learnt along the way. Hidden gems and must-see places, as well as our favourite places to eat!
For fellow type ones, I'll also include tips on how I manage my diabetes, whilst on my travels.
Just so that you are prepared, Disney will also feature heavily, as Disney World was definitely one of my favourite trips of all time.
Well, honestly, that's entirely up to you. I would love it if you read my blog to help you plan your own trips. I hope that our experiences will be able to help you make the most of your time on your holidays.
Of course, I would also really appreciate it if you decided to use my services in the future! Use our form on our website, so I can give you a free quote that we can work together on booking your next adventure.
I hope you enjoy my travel blog as much as I enjoy writing it!
