everywhere and those people have chil- dren and somehow they treat them. We try to strengthen immunity prior to trav- elling with multivitamins and probiotics. We always carry a travel pharmacy kit with us, for minor problems. Good organisa- tion is half the job when it comes to trav- elling with children, and care is the same as it is at home – it’s just that the loca- tions are more exotic. Airports are the least problem, because they are almost always well equipped and have areas for the care and entertaining of children. A problem arises when a nappy needs to be changed somewhere in the middle of the street, which is when you need to be a magician. That was also tougher for us in the beginning, but over time those things have become routine and don’t pose a problem whatsoever.” When touring destinations, they like to give themselves to the moment, but also to listen to what local guides have to say. They tour the most famous at- tractions, but choose more tranquil lo- cal variants for respite. They determine what mustn’t be missed, while for the rest they allow the cities themselves to carry and lead them. “The most striking for us was the is- land of Saint John, which belongs to the U.S. Virgin Islands.

It brings us joy to prepare new experiences for her, new scents and tastes, various faces, dier- ent environments. She has made friends from Japan and China, via Egypt, to Cuba, America and Peru. She ts in easily every- where and for here there are no borders.” This little girl really loves her pass- port, and on the last few trips she’s come to understand its function, so she hands it over to ocials at borders herself. “She’s very self-important at those moments. For us, those scenes are simul- taneously hilarious and precious.” However, taking care of a little child while travelling isn’t always easy. Milena says that those who have doubts most of- ten ask - and what’s the worst that could happen? “Once you visualise the worst situa- tions, it’s easier to traverse them if they arise. People also realise that they often worry unnecessarily. The most common question is what if the child becomes ill? So what if you get sick at home? You’ll take the child to the doctor. People live
