One of the things my wife and I talk about often is how to save money travelling with kids.

We have been living away from Australia for close to 10 months as I write this and in this time we have visited six countries (including one stop over) in this time.

Most of the travel to other countries was done at the end of our time in Vietnam.

So at the end of this time we travelled to Cambodia, back to Ho Chi Minh City, China stopover on the way to Tokyo in Japan, back to Hanoi in Vietnam, through to Singapore and then back to Australia.

All of this time we had to be aware of how much we were spending because we were travelling with us, the kids and living out of hotels for a month.

So it is pretty easy to have a blow out of budget if you aren’t keeping an eye on it.

Seems easy huh?

I still had to look it up and find out to be safe….

And the answer to the above is “Yes” to all three questions.
