We had just returned from a short and exciting trip to London with our two boys, aged 8 and 5 when my husband came up with a clever idea to travel – he suggested we buy a soccer ball (we had thrown our home) and carry it. around us as we go around the city. This may sound silly to do, but trust me when I say, it is one of the best things you can do on a trip.
Because it was a last-minute storm, we had to face a deep jet lag and needed a place to rest. Soccer would help. During a trip to the British Museum and a trip to London, we took a detour to the Hiding Park or Regents and enjoyed kicking a ball to ourselves and other local children (when they arrived).
Although you can easily bring your ball to the plane (as long as you destroy the ball as you do not want it to come out unless it is too tight) it is also important to take a trip to a place called Soccer Scene (near Oxford and Oxford). Regent Streets (Oxford Circus) – which offers all the fun, colorful colors of European football you can imagine.
Since both of our children needed new sneakers, we discarded the old holes in the holes and had a great time exploring all the color combinations of the shoes on display – many of which would be difficult to find in the US. When I think about it, I would choose to bring the ball with me to almost any city with parks and playgrounds. Traveling with soccer on the go is a great way to end a monotony that involves looking around a lot of places and visiting kids my age. Remember to check out additional travel tips on our blog.
