Family's First Shanghai Adventure: 5-Day Budget Trip
Family explores Shanghai, China, creating unforgettable memories on a budget-friendly trip. Kid-friendly fun and cultural immersion.
This is our first time in China and we are in the largest city of the country - yes we are in Shanghai! We are Claudia and Thomas with our child! Whenever possible, we try to travel and capture our unique experiences in various locations on video. We love to travel and explore the world with family friendly activities on a budget and we hope that our videos will inspire you to travel, too! Before we decided to vlog we have already traveled to 41 countries as a couple. Later, when our son was born we continued to travel. His first journey took him with us and a van for 5 months to France, Spain and Portugal. Since then and because he (and we) loved the adventures so much, we decided to show him other countries as well. We subsequently visited 21 countries as a family and we then thought that making videos of the next trips is a perfect way to capture the memories.
