Young Child Explores Various Nations, Offering Unfiltered Opinions on Thirteen Nations
=====================================================================================
In the world of young explorers, two-year-old Elodie stands out as a seasoned traveller, having visited an impressive 13 countries since she was six months old[2]. Her toddler-style reviews, penned by her parents, offer a playful and insightful perspective on her experiences in various destinations.
Elodie's first stop was Greece, where she enjoyed Greek yogurt and feeding stray cats, but found the heat unbearable and the lack of slides disappointing[2]. Contrastingly, her visit to South Africa was a resounding success, earning a 5-star rating. This sensory wonderland offered penguins, elephants, beaches, and a chance for Elodie to truly embrace her role as a "barefoot beach baby."
Other destinations Elodie has visited include Oman, Egypt, Austria, Germany, Ireland, and San Marino[2]. In Oman, the desert dunes provided fun for five minutes before Elodie declared she was finished and tried to eat her shoe. Egypt left Elodie confused, as she questioned the absence of toys for ancient mummies, but she loved every falafel. Austria was a big fan of Elodie's, with its cows, endless meadows, and excellent playground-to-cake-shop ratio.
Italy, in Elodie's eyes, is a theme park where everything is edible and Nonna hugs you. She was less impressed with San Marino's steep climbs, preferring instead to indulge in biscuits rather than appreciate the views. Elodie still tries to say "Glühwein" like it's a magic word, reminiscing about her first Christmas market experience in Dresden, Germany.
Separately, other travel sources highlight toddler-friendly countries with positive reviews based on general family experience. Spain is toddler-friendly with parks, playgrounds, and welcoming historic sites. Denmark is known for child-friendly museums and excellent public transport, also one of the safest and cleanest countries. Portugal is great for toddlers with castles, trolleys, beaches, and toddler-friendly food. Thailand is highly recommended as a family-friendly and affordable destination in Southeast Asia, with many kid-friendly activities[4].
A traveler with toddlers in Canada and the U.S. shared visits with toddlers—including trips to Banff National Park, Toronto, Niagara Falls, Quebec City, Lake Tahoe, and more[3]. These represent over a dozen airplane rides and many destinations for toddler travel but are based on parental experience rather than toddler reviews.
In summary, Elodie's toddler-style reviews offer a unique and playful perspective on her travels. At 2 years old, Elodie has very strong opinions and offers insightful feedback about her experiences. Other countries well-regarded for toddler travel but without specific toddler reviews include Spain, Denmark, Portugal (Europe)[1], Thailand (Southeast Asia)[4], and various locations in Canada and the U.S.[3].
