2020 Recap | A Travel Year in Review SmithFamilyTravels 2021-01-03 | 2020 was a year like no other for the entire world. From masks to physical distancing to lockdowns, this was a year that we all we never forget. We started the year like we always do, trying to get away to Florida in January to get out of the cold. Then we started to plan our travels for the year, but little did we know that due to the state of the world, travel would change drastically in a very short time. We hunkered down for a few months, waiting to see what was going to happen, but we realized that the situation wasn't getting better any time soon overseas, so we decided to explore closer to home. The mountains, hiking trails and waterfalls of the West Coast of Canada was just what we needed during this time. It was quiet, laid-back and filled with the sounds of nature. And enjoying all of this with our kids was priceless (West Coast Videos coming soon)!Follow us on Instagram: instagram.com/smithfamilytravelsCheck out some of our other travel adventures:Santorini: youtube.com/watch?v=6aPZQ2FKszgBudapest: youtube.com/watch?v=8--Xp2TLt38Malta: youtube.com/watch?v=xyR_2k-cYboBangkok: youtube.com/watch?v=PYQS2TZzfs8

How to Make your own Hand Sanitizer at Home SmithFamilyTravels 2020-03-16 | Making your own hand sanitizer is quick and easy and takes only a few ingredients that you probably already have in your cupboard. This is a great alternative to store-bought sanitizer, especially because it's impossible to find during the coronavirus covid-19 pandemic that we are all experiencing right now. We are all worried but we can also practice good hand washing techniques (or use hand sanitizer when running water and soap is not available), keep our hands away from our face and stay away from the elderly or those with compromised immune systems. Together we can get through this. We always have Isopropyl alcohol handy to clean cuts Aloe vera gel for our hair (some people use it for sunburn relief)Tea tree oil is a great antisepticLavender is calming (which we need right now) and just smells good!
