So when she gave birth to her beautiful baby boy, Dylan, last year, it was inevitable that the son would inherit his mother’s passion for travel.<\/strong><\/p>\n Laura has spent her maternity leave travelling with her newborn son, determined for them to visit twelve countries in the first twelve months of Dylan’s life. And they’re not doing badly! To document their adventures, Laura decided to write a blog; a very personal account of a new mother’s travels and experiences.<\/strong><\/p>\n This is Laura and Dylan’s story…<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”prologue” module_id=”guest-blog” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ custom_padding=”|0px|0px|0px|false|false” border_color_all=”rgba(255,186,96,0.6)” border_width_right=”8vw” border_color_right=”#5b8cb1″ collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_3,1_3″ admin_label=”Intro” _builder_version=”4.16″ collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Intro” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ header_6_font_size=”30px” custom_margin=”0%||0%||true|false” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Welcome to my blog Thursday Child; developed throughout my maternity leave whilst looking after my 1st son Dylan alongside my partner Dinesh (D). They say Thursday\u2019s child has far to go and I\u2019m aiming to prove that with our challenge of visiting 12 countries in Dylan\u2019s first 12 months on planet earth.<\/strong><\/p>\n With the backdrop of the covid 19 pandemic, Brexit, transport strikes and climate change, alongside little issues like teething and weaning, this is certainly a challenge! My ambition is to leave a digital footprint of our travels whilst sharing some hints, tips and probably huge learnings encountered when travelling with a new-born. I understand many are still apprehensive to travel internationally, but if we can hit 12 countries in a year, then anyone can travel!<\/strong><\/p>\n Travel is more than my career, it\u2019s my reason for being. Backpacking through India – Southeast Asia, creating my own safari through South Africa, travelling through Central America on local buses and chartering my own little boat to island hop around The Philippines. My travels have taken me through 63 countries, with a thirst to see more.<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.gdg.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MicrosoftTeams-image-29.png” alt=”Aman Pourkarimi” title_text=”MicrosoftTeams-image (29)” url=”https:\/\/consulting.gdg.travel\/” url_new_window=”on” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”|||-1px||” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,1_2,1_4″ admin_label=”divider” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||50px|||” collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ admin_label=”divider” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”content part 1″ module_id=”highlights” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px|false|false” border_color_all=”rgba(255,186,96,0.6)” border_width_right=”8vw” border_color_right=”#5b8cb1″ collapsed=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”1px||1px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-0.2%||-0.2%||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n When I\u2019ve shared our challenge with friends and family, the response is pretty fascinating, bearing in mind that from the second you have a baby everyone has an opinion and advice for you! Responses ranged from a raised eyebrow to extreme interest and excitement for us. Guess which kind of people are more my cup of tea.<\/p>\n On setting this challenge, we started to discuss how we were going to travel to ensure each member of our team\u2019s needs were fulfilled; Dylan wasn\u2019t taken too much out of routine and our travels aided, not hindered his development. D likes to explore and eat and hates sunbathing (\u201cI\u2019m Mauritian, why bother?\u201d) I just want to introduce the world to my son, whilst enjoying the immense amount of planning and bargain hunting that\u2019s involved for each trip.<\/p>\n Some simple \u2018rules\u2019 (the first rule of this challenge is that there are no rules!) have helped us ensure each team member has an enjoyable trip:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”3px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”content part 2″ module_id=”highlights” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”1px|0px|0px|0px|false|false” border_color_all=”rgba(255,186,96,0.6)” border_width_right=”8vw” border_color_right=”#5b8cb1″ collapsed=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row admin_label=”part 2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”0px|auto||auto||” custom_padding=”0px|||||” collapsed=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Rules” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ custom_margin=”0%||0%||true|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Before jumping into the international travel, we undertook a few trips closer to home to find our feet. The first long (ish) trip was to visit D\u2019s family in Epsom when Dylan was 1 month old. The learning here was to remember once you\u2019re on the M25 it\u2019s really tricky to get off! We have since researched the best stop points for this journey we make regularly.<\/p>\n Dylan and I then took a day trip to London at 6 weeks. This was our first experience of public transport which provided a whole host of fresh considerations on how to travel with a pram. I was staggered at how badly the London transport infrastructure is set up for travellers on wheels and wanted to explore further on how the needs of travellers with a broad range of needs are met across the globe. I make reference to \u2018Invisible Women\u2019 by Caroline Criado-Perez; a key read on exposing data bias in a world designed for men.<\/p>\n Women do 75% of the world\u2019s unpaid care work and this affects their travel needs. Across the globe, we lack consistent data on public transport usage categorisation, but for example in France, 2\/3rds of public transport passengers are women, in Philadelphia and Chicago the figure is 64% and 63%. Meanwhile men are more likely to drive and if a household owns a car it is men who dominate the access to it.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” collapsed=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-0.1%||-0.1%||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The differences don\u2019t stop at the mode of transport; it\u2019s also about why men and women are travelling. Men are most likely to have a fairly simple travel pattern; a twice daily commute in and out of town. But women\u2019s travel patterns tend to be more complicated. A typical female travel pattern often involves, for example, dropping children off at school before going to work; taking an elderly relative to the doctor and doing the grocery shopping on the way home. This is called \u2019trip-chaining\u2019; a travel pattern of several small inter-connected trips that has been observed in women around the world.<\/p>\n In London, women are 3 times more likely than men to take a child to school and 25% more likely to trip-chain; this figure rises to 39% if there is a child older than 9 in the household. Considering these overwhelming statistics, only a third of London underground stations have step-free access. I\u2019ll continue to report on each destination\u2019s accessibility throughout our travels.<\/p>\n Upon arriving at Liverpool Street, the lifts were broken. As I approached the steps, the 2 staff members asked if I was ok, which I obviously replied yes as they watched me struggle carrying the pram up the steps. My bicep strength has improved over the months but at 6 weeks post-birth, these struggles really weren\u2019t ideal.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.gdg.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MicrosoftTeams-image-30.jpg” title_text=”MicrosoftTeams-image (30)” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,2_3″ _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” collapsed=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.gdg.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MicrosoftTeams-image-31.jpg” title_text=”MicrosoftTeams-image (31)” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-0.3%||-0.3%||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The day provided a lovely opportunity to catch up with my Gray Dawes CEO alongside some old friends and feel a little more like \u2018old me\u2019. Dylan absolutely loved the sensory experience of the Big Smoke, and we had a lovely day of bonding. I\u2019ll never forget the Mauritian security guard at The German Gymnasium who just wanted to hold him, providing me with an opportunity for a good catch up with my old pal Gordon before heading home.<\/p>\n I was a little apprehensive travelling with Dylan alone but quickly realised travelling by train is much easier; I have 2 hands and we can move around. The white noise is also great for babies, and he slept most of the way there and back. The day really grew my confidence to travel.<\/p>\n Without a doubt, having a child has been the single biggest learning curve I\u2019ve experienced in adult life and poses many questions; what kind of mother do I want to be? How will we spend our days? Why, in the early days would he only sleep in his car seat? Will I ever have a full night\u2019s sleep again? Why are there just certain stains you\u2019re never going to get rid of? Why do I often feel desperate for a break, then have a pang of loneliness the minute he\u2019s gone?<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_4,1_4″ _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”1px|||||” collapsed=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0.1%||0.1%||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n A lot of these questions I\u2019m still finding answers to, or accepting they\u2019ll have to remain unsolved! But when it comes to what kind of parent I want to be, this is simple. I want to teach him to be curious. Take interest and try to understand the world around him. I stumbled upon a career in the travel industry and it\u2019s certainly the right place for me. I want to provide my boy with all the opportunities to see the world and explore. This begins now. Travel broadens the mind like nothing else.<\/p>\n I hope you enjoy following my little family on our travels,<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.17.6″
