Savannah’s First Year of Travel in Photos

Savannah received her first passport when she was six weeks old and had her first overseas trip to New Zealand at 8 weeks.

Before that she had been on a plane to Melbourne to attend the Problogger conference.

With us as travellers and travel bloggers and the fact she is named after one of our favorite cities in the world Savannah, Georgia she never stood a chance.

We have loved our first year with Savannah. It was her first birthday last week and we couldn’t imagine our little family without her. Her joy is infectious.

While she is quite the Mumma’s girl and loves cuddle time, she is not frightened to go to other people.

We believe that travel has exposed her to so many different people and experiences that it has helped her to not be frightened of them.

Here is a look back at her first year of travel with us.
