A new travel documentary by Anna Becker and Svetlana Bog danova

Image
We both, Anna and me are happy and proud to announce, that the first part of our travel documentary “Anna, Asia and Me. 250 Days on the Road” is ready! We already screened the film in a cinema in Berlin and in September 2019 we both are going on a film tour in Germany and will screen our travel documentary in many German cities! Me, Svetlana Bogdanova, and my 8-year-old daughter Anna gave up our comfortable life in Berlin, sold the most of our household and started our long trip across the South-East Asia. We took only the really necessary things – we travel with hand luggage only. And with one-way tickets to stay flexible and free! We were travelling for 250 days, just two of us. We left the beaten tracks and immersed ourselves into the local life, discovered the culture and everyday life of each country and made new friends. In the first part of our travel documentary film we explore Malaysia and move through Indonesian islands. In the second and in the third part

5 Tips for Travelling with children

Image
I am traveling with my daughter Anna for more than 3 years long. We started when Anna was 8 years old. Here my 5 tips for traveling with older children, let's say 7+. 1. Involve your kids in planning the route and the program. Let them help you. They can start with small simple tasks - watch your bags, fill the forms for hotel check-in and registration cards, order food, call reception if some advice or help is needed... (My daughter Anna learned English this way - managing small things for us). Trust your kids, and their self-confidence comes from these small successes. 2. Don’t Overpack! We need much less than we think we need. Helping your kids embrace minimalism on travels promotes being grateful for little things in life. Your children will learn to entertain themselves and to be happy with less. We both travel light with hand-luggage only. This allows me to buy cheap plane flights, get on and off transport easily, move quickly when needed and not have to g

250 days on the Road - an adventure Travel film by Anna Becker and Svetlana Bogdanova

Image
I left behind our comfortable lifestyle in Berlin to try a different life. I no longer wanted to live according to the schedule that others established for me, did not want to meet social standards and other people’s expectations. I wanted to experience an absolute freedom and see how I could manage it. I did not plan anything in advance and did not know where to go and how long we would be on the way. As a result, Anna and I spent 250 days in different parts of Southeast Asia. This was one of the most significant periods in our life. For each of us individually and for the two of us as a team, as a family. Anna and I created this  travel documentary film  together from the beginning to the end. It took us a lot of time, since we worked on the way (we were making the film on the way). I edited it at airports, on playgrounds, in parks, in hotels … even on the days when we had no table, no chair, no electricity. It was very important for me to finish it. And finally, the first part
