The Phillips Family Travels

Welcome to our blog, following our family trips and holidays around the world. We live in Gloucestershire, UK but have also spent a year living in New Jersey, USA. We love using the school holidays to travel to new places and explore. Spending time with our two children, climbing mountains, splashing around in the sea on the coast or road tripping across Europe and the US. We hope you will enjoy our blogs designed to help us remember the great times we have had and hopefully provide you with helpful tips if you are following in our footsteps.
