We’re happy to write articles featuring your destination or family travel related product. The posts will be featured on the blog and shared across our social media channels.

Guest posts
We do not accept any guest posts.
Once in a blue moon we may publish guest posts from other family travel bloggers who are personally known to us.
Why choose us?
Why should you work with bloggers?
An increasing amount of people (including us!) look to blogs for their travel inspiration and to book trips.
Blogs often show the realities of travelling and what you can expect when you’re on the ground. Blogs can be particularly helpful when planning an itinerary and researching the best things to do at a given location. They’re especially useful if you want to work out what you can manage to do in a day – ideal if you’ve got small kids in tow!
We’ve often changed our travel plans or found a new destination from reading travel blogs, whether they’re family travel blogs or not.
Why Kids and Compass?
Our values
We are always honest in our articles – while we are by nature optimists and always look for the positive, we will say what did and didn’t work for our family (often through our own mistakes, I might add!).
This helps to build up trust with our readers.
We’ll only promote products, trips and destinations we agree with ethically – so no riding elephants or visiting drugged tigers for example. We also won’t be going to North Korea any time soon.

We’re active on social media and our follower numbers and post engagements are growing steadily.
Other families have contacted us to say that we’ve helped and/or inspired them to travel to Andalusia, Iceland and Jordan – it could be your destination next!
Our children are very young and while we have to travel in school holidays, we plan to be around for a long time yet.
Emily works hard on SEO and keeping up to date with the latest developments so that we show up in Google search. Currently around 80% of our traffic comes from Google and other search engines. We’re always striving to improve our website and update our content.
Emily is a Lonely Planet Pathfinder and Kids and Compass has been featured on the Lonely Planet Kids blog (February 2019).
