Our family and how we travel

We started travelling with our little kids in 2013. But we never recorded our journey properly. We usually just snapped a lot of photos and kept them somewhere.

Then something happened that changed my mind. I believe it is good to journal down all our trips. Not only for our memory, but also for other parents who are looking for an itinerary and tips.

If you are travelling with kids, it makes things tougher when planning your itinerary. There are a lot of itinerary guides out there, but most of them are not kids friendly. Imagine if you start the first visit at 8 am and visit up to 6-7 tourist spots till night time. Your kids will be too tired, or you will be tired to death taking care of them.

For us, we travel as 2 adults plus 2 kids. We often visit 2-3 tourist spots per day. It's a "slow" kind of itinerary. Yes, we miss out on some places. We are okay with it.

Why YS Feet exists now

YS Feet does two things.

First, it is still our family journal. Every trip post here is a real trip we took, with our own photos. Right now there is one: 10 days in Tokyo, Hakone and Yuzawa in December 2018. This site was set up a little bit late, so I am catching up on our older trips.

Second, YS Feet is the publisher of a set of independent travel guides. Each guide is its own website about one place. They are built from named public sources, like official sites, operators, booking sites, Wikivoyage, Wikipedia and news, and I review every page.

I have not visited every place the guides cover. Each guide says on its own About page whether I have been there. How the guides are made is on this page.
