Welcome to Travel With Cubs, where family adventures come to life! We are two families of Sri Lankans who have called Sunderland, United Kingdom, our home since 2007. Meet our team: Nazeer and Inshiya, along with their lively cubs Hammad, Liyana, and Haazim, and Shaffraz and Nizrun, with their spirited cubs Arham and Amna. Nazeer and Nizrun are siblings, and together, our two families share a deep bond and a passion for exploring the world around us.

Our journey began long before we boarded our first plane or packed our first suitcase. Growing up in Sri Lanka, we dreamt of adventures that would take us beyond horizons and into the heart of new cultures, places, and experiences. Moving to the UK opened the door to a treasure trove of breathtaking destinations, and over the years, we’ve travelled to countless corners of this beautiful country, making unforgettable memories along the way. But our story isn’t just about ticking places off a map—it’s about connection. With family and friends scattered across the globe, we wanted a way to stay close and share our adventures. That’s how our YouTube channel, Travel With Cubs, was born—a heartfelt project to bring our travels to life for those near and far, especially our loved ones in Sri Lanka and beyond.

We love documenting every moment of our adventures, from the little joys to the big milestones. These videos are more than just travel guides—they are time capsules, preserving the laughter, curiosity, and wonder of our cubs as they explore the world. Our travel vault is brimming with stories of family road trips, seaside escapades, and cultural discoveries.

We invite you to explore our travel adventures vault, relive the moments we’ve shared, and join us as we embark on our future journeys. Whether we’re wandering the winding streets of a new city or simply enjoying the beauty of nature, there’s always an adventure waiting just around the corner. Travel With Cubs is more than a channel—it’s a celebration of family, love, and the magic of discovering the world together. Thank you for being part of our journey, and we can’t wait to share many more adventures with you! Travel for us isn’t just about destinations; it’s about the company. Most of our journeys are shared adventures, where the cousins grow up together, exploring hand in hand. Despite our busy schedules during term time, we cherish the holidays as a chance to reconnect and create new memories. From family road trips to travelling with friends, every adventure adds another chapter to our growing library of experiences.
