Welcome to the Travelling Toddler blog

Me, my partner and our 15 month old son would like to welcome you to the travelling toddler blog. Our dream is to save up enough money to travel the world, toddler in tow, before we get tied down with a mortgage. We’ve taken small steps such as cancelling gym membership & phone contracts, and we’ve recently taken the huge (backwards) step of moving back in with my parents!

We’ve set ourselves the goal of saving £10k by Christmas 2010, and we’d like to save closer to £15k before setting sail in 18 months time. This blog will track both our money saving progress,  the planning of the trip itself,  any other trials and tribulations along the way, and maybe, just maybe, the dream trip itself. Wish us luck!
