First Words and First Flights! | Episode 03

About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges and experiences of the Hutchinsons' first international trip with their baby, Gabriel.

First flight, first reunion, first surprises. In this episode, we talk all things about our first international trip with Gabriel. From the packing struggles we definitely underestimated to navigating airports, long flights, and a whole new level of logistics as first-time parents. We share what it was like introducing Gabriel to family in the UK for the very first time, how those reunions felt, and the realities of managing family dynamics while travelling with a baby. We also reflect honestly on whether we actually enjoyed the trip or simply survived it… and reveal a shocking first word that neither of us saw coming. Expect real reflections, a few laughs, and the unfiltered truth about travelling abroad with a baby for the first time.
