The uise of the word 'exploit' in the first sentence is slightly humorous. Most holidays are concluded without any daring adventure!
Exploit - a bold or daring feat, deed, act, adventure, stunt, escapade, manoeuvre, enterprise, undertaking, move; achievement, accomplishment, attainment, triumph; handiwork.
"Despite a series of colourful exploits, his agents obtained little information of value."
To cust back on something means to reduce its frequency:
"I've cut bnack on smoking for health reasons."
最初の表現にある、この 'exploit'と言う言葉の使い方は少しユーモアがあります。
ほとんどのお休みは大胆な冒険なく終わります!
Exploit -大胆な偉業と言う意味になります。
【例】
"Despite a series of colourful exploits, his agents obtained little information of value."
(一連の華やかな偉業にもかかわらず、彼の代理人は情報の価値を少ししか得ることが出来なかった)
"To cut back on something"とは~の頻度を減らす、~の量などを削減する、という様な意味にです。
"I've cut bnack on smoking for health reasons."
(健康の為に喫煙の量を減らしています)

I stopped traveling so much since my child was born.
I've had to put traveling aside since my child was born.
The first phrase is natural in implying that you no longer go traveling. We say 'so much' so explain that you still do travel but you are limited on the amount of visits and locations because you have had a baby.
When we put something aside, it means we don't do it so much but we plan on coming back to it. For example, 'I've put healthy eating aside for the month because it's Christmas'.
最初の表現はもう旅行に行っていない事をほのめかす自然な表現です。
'so much'を使う事によって旅行にはいっているけど、赤ちゃんがいるので行くところが限定されてしまう、と言う事を言い表すことが出来ます。
何かを put aside する時、一時的にあまりやらないけどいつかまたやるつもりだ、と言う事です。
【例】
'I've put healthy eating aside for the month because it's Christmas'
(クリスマスなので、健康的な食べ物を一か月食べていません)

何かが簡単でないことは 'hard'(難しい)で表せます。
