Travel the World with Kids & Teens: Why It Matters & How to Make It Work

Traveling with children is utterly beautiful. Seeing the world through your children’s eyes is a feeling that can’t be expressed in words! Travel the world with kids and know it for yourself.

I gave birth to my daughter before I even had a passport, and I thought travel was too crazy and dangerous for little ones. Traveling with children seemed like an insane concept.

The sudden overnight train journey with my 2-month-old daughter changed my perceptions. I realized that having children doesn’t have to stop you… unless you let it.

Both of us (I and hubby) love to travel. We decided that our wanderlust should be gratified, even with a kid.

We knew if we had to live our dream, it had to include our little child. This crazy dream of traveling the world with kids, learning new languages, and exposing our daughter to different cultures blossomed with each passing day.

Of course, we go through struggles and hardships to make ends meet and to live this dream. We save, sacrifice other desires or things on our wish list, and believe traveling to be a fine investment.

We feel that it’s more important to invest in life experiences rather than in the next new designer or material things!

We often hear people say that travel and adventure aren’t for people who have taken on the responsibility of raising kids.

People make excuses that it’s expensive and inconvenient to travel with kids. But that’s not true. I can say that with the tad-bit experience, I have of traveling the world with my kid. In modern times, countries are broadening their borders – selling cheaper flights and carving new roads, literally and figuratively. Sure, it’s not easy.

It takes a lot of work and planning and often requires sacrificing a few things (I mean, some compromises come when you follow the concept of traveling with children) to take your children along on an out-of-town or country vacation, but it’s worth it!

Believe me, the idea of exploring this big, beautiful world with your kids is exciting! Damn Exciting!

You can’t sum it up in a single post. Some parents say that there’s no point in traveling with children because it’s too much hassle and they won’t remember it anyway.

I’m reminded of this quote by Barbara Bush: “Memories make a fine cushion for old age.” So, you travel not only to give them memories or experiences but to compile sweet reminiscences for yourself, too.

Things your little ones do while traveling will add a soft and sweet place to your devoid and alone years. Those memories will become your boon companion when you are old.

I loved traveling when I was single. I loved traveling with my hubby just after we were married. But I love it more now that we travel as a family.

Kids change everything; we’ve heard it before. And, for the most part, that change is pretty awesome.

NO travel experience didn’t stop us from exploring. Somehow, stories of others’ experiences inspired us. We chose to travel as a way of life for our family.

When I look back, memories of how we started, where we started, and how far we have reached make me smile…It certainly has been a wonderful journey, and it continues.

From a tiny two-month-old bundled in my arms on her first train journey to a confident sixteen-year-old planning her own travel bucket list—it’s been one heck of a ride!

Why You Should Travel the World with Your Kids & Teens

There are zillions of good reasons why travel may just be the best thing you ever do for your kids.

Traveling is an adrenaline rush in itself; however, traveling with children is a different level of adventure altogether.

We set ourselves a challenge…instead of giving our daughter a stack of expensive toys on her birthdays that she’s likely to grow out of and forget about anyway, let’s use her birthdays as an opportunity to gift her with lasting memories.

We created this annual tradition of traveling to new places on her birthdays. It started with our daughter’s first birthday in Goa, and the tradition continues till now and hopefully will.

Augmenting our daughter’s classroom education with travel around India and the world has helped her grow in amazing ways.

I believe that raising children well means exposing them to as much of the world as possible.

We combined our family’s birthday and festival budgets and took her on the trip of a lifetime to Disneyland on her eighth birthday!

It took a lot of saving and a bit of planning on our part but certainly, it became an unforgettable experience and one our daughter will cherish for the rest of her life. It was a dazzling new experience for our young one and for us, too (forever young at heart). BTW, booking tickets in advance through Viator, Get Your Guide, and Klook saved us time and money.

We explored Southwest USA, Washington DC, Florida, and New York with mini-me. Mini-me desperately waits for her birthday every year to get a trip to somewhere new as her birthday present.

When it comes to giving gifts to our kids, toys and gadgets come in handy, but nothing beats the gift of experiences that create long-lasting memories and enrich your little one’s experience of the world.

Travel Teaches Them Experiences Matter More Than Material Things

Kids know better what we show them rather than tell them!

Think back to when you were a child. what’s your favorite memory?

Perhaps it’s a family holiday, or of you playing and chatting with your best friend, or maybe winning a trophy at your school’s sports event…Can you remember those birthday gifts you got during your childhood?

It’s not easy, is it? In retrospect, the ‘things we got as kids were never as memorable or remained as important to us as the things we did. And this holds as true today as it was when we were kids.

Buying your child expensive toys for his or her birthday may be a lot easier than planning and implementing a trip or a day out or picnic, but it’s also of the least value to your little one’s experience of the world.

Teach and show your kids that having materialistic things is not the way to happiness; experiences are. Take them to a museum or the zoo for the day so you can all share the experience.

Travel Creates Unforgettable Memories That Last a Lifetime

One day, while you’re having coffee with your friends or relatives in your cozy living room, someone looks at the picture of your child hanging on the wall and likes it so much that he asks, “Where was that photo of your daughter taken? It’s so natural and beautiful!”

And here you begin a story about your daughter witnessing a baby turtle on the beach for the first time in her life and how she desired to touch it. How you helped your daughter to hold that little turtle in her palm, and she had this smile…this smile like – out of the world!

And how your daughter slowly slides her hands out to touch that little wonder and that look on her face! Well, that’s when you took that picture. Yes! And your guests are in awe! 🙂

The whole idea of this post is that your children deserve to see the world. Give your children the gift of travel. Give your child more memories and less stuff.

Help them grow and develop confidence.

Travel Enhances Learning Beyond the Classroom

Offer your kids a real education. There’s a lot of difference between hands-on learning and classroom education.

Nothing inspires awe or action like learning about something firsthand. New experiences flicker ideas and start conversations and children begin to ask questions and care about things they never even thought about.

I understand classroom learning has its own place, but nothing can compare to the awareness of dimensions, meaning, implications, and the realization that happens as you witness new cities and countries, smell different places, withstand different types of weather or climate, embrace different cultures, taste different cuisines, try new adventures, make new roads, and take new risks.

Traveling is inclusive learning. It’s scientifically proven that new experiences increase memory retention besides helping us feel good.

You tell me, does sitting in a classroom learning about the pyramids or mummies or for that matter, anything in the world can be compared in any way to actually visiting them? NO. Mark Twain rightly said, “ I never let schooling interfere with my education.”

My daughter learns while she travels. Trekking to Kheerganga in 2017 changed my daughter’s life in ways I couldn’t imagine. Her restlessness and aggression changed to positive behavior.

Where my regular lessons on sustainability didn’t work, there a trek to the Himalayas does the magic. Getting so close to nature made her aware of the ecosystem. She learned to be responsible enough to keep the environment clean.

Kids learn more when they use all their five senses, which is only possible when they are venturing out into the world.

Travel Builds Confidence and Independence

Now, at the age of sixteen, my daughter is bold and unafraid to start conversations with any person of any age, culture, or language. Sometimes, this involves using hand signals and pointing at people who don’t share a common language or language she doesn’t comprehend.

However, her confidence to engage in conversation and make friends wherever she goes has been enhanced by traveling to different places. On our recent trip to Lapland, she made friends with Santa 🙂

World schooling, homeschooling, unschooling, wild schooling, adventuring, life-learning, whatever you call it, more parents are doing it! World schooling isn’t just a concept but a movement now.

Travel Teaches Patience, Adaptability, and Problem-Solving

Undoubtedly, Traveling with children is challenging.

Of course, most of the time spent traveling isn’t about exotic places or the postcard-perfect pictures they portray. Just being real here!

It’s sand in your swimsuit, dirty feet, heat, sunburns, long and tiring flights, ugh…layovers, waiting in customs lines and at borders, inconveniences, and travel exhaustion. You and the kids get tired and hungry.

Tempers get short. Sometimes, you drive each other crazy. Traveling as a family is challenging. Yet anything difficult has the opportunity to help you grow.

All these challenges help your kids develop patience, perspective, and personal development.

Traveling nourishes. It has a pianissimo influence on the heart, expanding the impact on the brain and a tranquilizing effect on the soul. It teaches fearlessness, perseverance, and resilience. Traveling is food for the soul.

We try not to get hassled and always make fuss-free, fun plans so our daughter enjoys every bit of it. It saves you from a lot of trouble.

Traveling With Children Teach You & Them How To Get Along Better

Ultimately, traveling with kids is just learning on the road, in foreign places, but it’s still just parenting. And you learn best by doing.

One is compelled to learn new methods for not just enduring but blossoming. You grow closer, bond better, and create lifelong memories.

And when you come back to routine life; you and your children will be very different (certainly better) people when you return from a memorable journey.

Travel Strengthens Family Bonds

A family that travels together grows together.

We’ve discovered (as a family) that we really love travel. Our daughter loves it as much, or more than we do – really! What’s the most rewarding part of being a parent?

When you see your kid is happy, loving every part of her or his life, growing in confidence, and enjoying experiences. That’s unparalleled joy and is one of the best feelings in this world for a parent. Isn’t it?

These are the experiences our children ought to have. Traveling with children instills the value of family fun and togetherness. Your child deserves to leave her/his little corner of comfort to gain a broad, wholesome experience.

How to Travel the World with Kids & Teens (Without Losing Your Mind or Your Savings!)

When it comes to traveling with kids and teens, you can’t just hop on a plane and hope for the best. It takes strategy, flexibility, and patience, a lot of. When done right, navigating the world with your kids—whether they’re tantrum-prone toddlers or eye-rolling teens—turns into one of the most rewarding experiences for both parents and children. Here’s how to make it work without losing your mind.

Plan Smartly: Choose Destinations That Work for Families

Not all destinations are equally family-friendly, so do your homework before booking. Look for places with activities that cater to all ages—from interactive museums and science centers for younger kids to cool cultural spots, adventure parks, and trendy cafes for teens.

Cities with smooth public transport, pedestrian-friendly streets, and a safe environment make life easier when juggling different preferences.

If traveling internationally, check visa requirements, healthcare facilities, and stroller accessibility—those charming cobblestone streets can be a nightmare! Been there, done that.

But now that my daughter is a teen, I’ve swapped stroller concerns for Wi-Fi availability and Instagram-worthy spots—because, to be honest, a trip isn’t complete unless there’s a photo dump waiting to happen.

Weather matters, too—no one enjoys a heatwave meltdown (literal and emotional). And if you’ve got a picky eater or a foodie teen, choosing a destination with familiar food options (or at least a good mix of global cuisine) can save you from unnecessary meal battles. For us, having access to at least one solid pasta or pizza joint is a non-negotiable!

Pack Wisely: Less Is More, But Essentials Are a Must

You don’t need to pack the whole house, but some things are non-negotiable when traveling with kids. Snacks can be the difference between a peaceful ride and a full-blown hunger meltdown—whether it’s a toddler wailing for biscuits or a teen dramatically sighing about how starving they are.

Always carry essential medications, a thermometer, and any special needs items your child might require because finding a pharmacy in an unfamiliar place when you need one is never fun.

And if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that keeping things organized while traveling is a lifesaver. That’s why I swear by packing cubes. These little organizers keep outfits separate, prevent overpacking, and save you from the chaos of digging through an entire suitcase just to find one pair of socks.

For entertainment, think beyond screen time—coloring books, sticker activities, and small travel games work wonders for younger kids during long waits.

For teens, power banks are as important as passports. A dead phone mid-flight? Disaster. Noise-canceling headphones can also be a lifesaver—blocking out airplane noise (or, to be honest, family chatter when they need their space).

And don’t forget extra clothes and wipes—because spills, messes, and unexpected weather changes are part of the adventure, regardless of age. Packing cubes also help with this—separating clean clothes from the ‘uh-oh, we had an ice cream accident’ pile makes repacking way easier.

A lightweight baby carrier or compact stroller is a must for younger kids, especially when navigating airports or exploring cities on foot. Trust me, trying to carry a sleepy toddler after a long flight is no fun—having a lightweight travel stroller or an ergonomic baby carrier makes all the difference.

For teens, comfy shoes are the equivalent—because no one wants to hear “My feet hurt” every ten minutes.

Book Family-Friendly Accommodations: Comfort Matters

Finding the right place to stay can make or break a family trip. A cramped hotel room might work for a quick getaway, but for longer stays or trips with little kids and teens, space, comfort, and flexibility become essential.

Why We Prefer Airbnb for Family Travel

We usually opt for an Airbnb over a hotel because it ticks all the right boxes for family travel:

• More Space: Little kids need room to play, and teens need their own space to unwind. An Airbnb with separate bedrooms keeps everyone happy—no one wants to be stuck in one tiny hotel room, whispering while the toddler sleeps at 8 PM.
• A Kitchen Saves Money & Sanity: Eating out for every meal is expensive and exhausting, especially when dealing with picky eaters, food allergies, or a perpetually hungry teen. Having a kitchen means we can cook quick breakfasts, prepare snacks, and save money.
• A More Local & Authentic Experience: Instead of staying in a tourist-heavy area, an Airbnb lets us live like locals, shop at neighborhood markets, and discover hidden gems. It’s also a great way for kids to experience different cultures beyond the usual tourist attractions.
• More Affordable for Families: Booking a large hotel suite can be crazy expensive, but Airbnb offers entire apartments or houses at a much better price. Plus, no extra costs for things like extra beds or cribs.

Of course, Airbnb isn’t perfect. Some downsides to keep in mind include:

• No Daily Housekeeping: Unlike hotels, you won’t have fresh towels or a made bed every day. I guess, It’s a small price you pay for extra space.
• Check-in Can Be Tricky: Some Airbnbs have complicated check-in processes, like picking up keys from a lockbox or coordinating with the host. Definitely not a deal killer, but one should have an idea about it.
• Less Central Locations: While some Airbnbs are in prime locations, others can be further from major attractions, meaning more walking or public transport.
• You Have to Read Reviews Carefully: Not every listing matches the pictures. We’ve had some great finds but also a few disappointments. Reading reviews thoroughly is key! We always check reviews from other families to make sure the place is safe, clean, and truly family-friendly.

Hotels: When They Might Be a Better Choice

While we love Airbnb, sometimes a hotel is the better option—especially for short stays, all-inclusive perks, or places where safety and convenience matter more than space. Many hotels offer:

• Family suites with extra beds and room service for those “we’re too tired to go out” nights.
• Play areas, pools, or kid-friendly amenities to keep younger kids entertained, and if you have a teen, check if the hotel has a gym, game room, or even just a decent lounging area where they can escape for some independence.
• Cribs, high chairs, or babysitting services are a win for parents who need a break.
• Wi-Fi and charging ports in the room are the real deal-breakers for teens—because apparently, a vacation without internet isn’t a vacation at all.
• Daily housekeeping and on-site dining can be a relief after a long day of exploring.

At the end of the day, it depends on the destination, the length of the trip, and what kind of experience we want. But for most of our family travels, Airbnb has been the perfect home away from home!

As mentioned, we usually prefer Airbnb for more space, but when we book hotels, we always check family-friendly stays on Booking.com, Expedia, or Agoda for the best deals and options.

Use Technology: Your Best Travel Assistant

Using the right tools to make life easier and stress-free, more so when traveling with kids and teens who rely on their devices more than we do, is an important aspect of travel planning! Having the right digital tricks up your sleeve is vital. Some apps have genuinely saved us from disaster (or at least from awkward charades with strangers). Here are some essential apps that help before, during, and after the trip:

• Google Maps & Offline Maps – Perfect for navigation when Wi-Fi isn’t available. My teen loves to wander off to ‘discover cool spots,’ which basically means finding aesthetic cafés for her Instagram feed. Having offline maps ensures she doesn’t get lost (or at least she can’t use ‘no signal’ as an excuse).
• Google Translate – Overcoming language barriers is easier with these. A lifesaver in countries where English isn’t widely spoken. In Turkey, trying to order food was an adventure in itself. Google Translate helped us figure out whether we were ordering chicken or accidentally about to eat something far more questionable. Same thing in Thailand—we used it to explain food allergies and once to figure out why a cab driver was shaking his head at us so dramatically.
• Duolingo – Before our trips, I try to get my teen to learn a few basic phrases. She rolled her eyes at me when I suggested learning Turkish, but a week later, she was randomly saying ‘Merhaba’ to shopkeepers just to impress herself.
• Flight Tracker Apps – Great for staying ahead of delays, gate changes, and cancellations. Also great for when your teen, who conveniently ignores you at home, suddenly wants to ‘track our flight status’ like she works at an airport.
• Kid-Friendly Entertainment Apps –Audiobooks, games, and interactive apps keep younger kids busy during flights and long drives, so you don’t have to hear “Are we there yet?” every five minutes.
• Streaming apps like Netflix, Spotify, and YouTube Premium (downloaded in advance, of course, because Wi-Fi betrayal is real) are lifesavers. My teen refuses to travel without at least a few episodes of Friends ready to go—because apparently, no matter where we are in the world, she needs Ross yelling, “We were on a break!” at least once a day. Her Spotify playlist is always playing, either through her headphones (firmly in her ears when she’s “not in the mood to talk”) or casually dangling around her neck like a fashion statement. Either way, if her music stops, I hear about it before the plane even takes off.
• For long-haul flights, comfort is just as important as entertainment—because the last thing you want is a cranky, overtired child (or a teen who can’t get comfortable). A kids’ travel pillow, sleep mask, and a portable noise machine work wonders for making flights more bearable. Younger kids doze off faster when they have something cozy, and even teens, no matter how ‘cool’ they pretend to be, appreciate a good neck pillow when they’re stuck in an upright seat for 10 hours.
• Ride-Hailing & Public Transport Apps – Apps like Uber, Grab, Lyft, or local transport apps help, especially in cities where taxis tend to overcharge tourists. They help older teens explore independently (with parental approval, of course). It also stops my teen from dramatically declaring, ‘How are we even getting anywhere?’ every time we step out of a hotel.
• Expense Tracking Apps – If you’re giving your teen some spending money for the trip, apps like Splitwise or Trail Wallet can help them track their own budget, making them more responsible travelers. Splitwise made my teen realize how fast her “souvenir budget” disappeared when she blew it all on overpriced bubble tea.

Many places now have contactless check-ins, digital tickets, and mobile room keys, making it easier and faster to get around. And I retreat—a Wi-Fi connection, a portable power bank, and a universal adaptor are non-negotiable for a teen traveler!

Maintain Routine: Keep Some Familiarity (Yes, Even for Teens!)

Kids thrive on routine, and while travel is all about new experiences, some things should stay consistent to keep everyone sane. Try to keep meal and nap times (or at least some kind of food schedule) close to what they’re used to at home—it makes a huge difference in avoiding cranky moods, whether it’s a toddler melting down from hunger or a teen dramatically sighing, ‘I haven’t eaten in, like, forever’ (which usually means two hours).

If your child has a bedtime routine (like reading a book before sleeping), keep it going even while traveling. For little ones, small comfort items like a favorite stuffed toy or blanket help them adjust to new places.

For teens, their comfort items just look a little different—think a hoodie they refuse to take off, their phone (obviously), and access to Wi-Fi. Keeping some normalcy in their daily routine—like letting them unwind with Netflix (Friends, always Friends) before bed or not forcing them to wake up at sunrise for sightseeing—can make travel way more enjoyable for everyone.

And let’s not forget their sacred night ritual of scrolling Instagram before sleeping. Sure, we may roll our eyes at it, but—sometimes, giving them those extra minutes of phone time saves you from a next-day mood disaster.

Be Flexible: Expect the Unexpected (Especially with a Teen in Tow!

Travel with kids never goes exactly as planned (then again, does anything in life?). Flights get delayed, nap schedules get messed up, and tantrums happen—yes, even from the so-called “big kids” in the family (honestly, sometimes I think Amishi was easier to handle when she was small!). The key is to go with the flow and not let minor hiccups ruin the trip.

Sometimes, slowing down and adjusting your itinerary can lead to unexpected joys—stumbling upon a charming park, catching an impromptu street performance, or simply giving your child time to splash in a fountain while your teen dramatically refuses to get their shoes wet.

With teens, expect a whole new level of unpredictability. One day, they’re all in for sightseeing; the next, they just want to sleep in and “chill.” And if their outfit isn’t “right” for the day’s plans, forget sightseeing—your new priority is crisis management.

Build in buffer time for everything—flights, meals, getting from one place to another—because with kids, everything takes longer than you think. With teens, add extra time for “just five more minutes” of an emergency detour to hunt down the trendiest thrift store or the perfect café for an aesthetic photo.

Involve Kids in Planning: Make It Their Adventure Too (Yes, Even the Teens!)

Letting kids have a say in the trip makes them feel involved and excited and also reduces the chances of hearing, “This is boring” a few minutes into your sightseeing plan. Depending on their age, let them:

• Choose between two destinations or activities (because giving them some control makes a huge difference).
• Pick one meal or restaurant per day—for little kids, this means fun spots like pizza places, but for teens, it’s usually “I just want sushi” or “Let’s find the best burger joint in town.”
• Help pack their own travel bag (with guidance!)—though with a teen, this usually means double-checking they packed actual essentials and not just a phone charger and a hoodie.
• Research fun facts about the destination or learn basic local phrases. For younger kids, this is a fun learning activity. For teens, it’s more like, ‘I need to find the coolest café here’ or ‘Let me check if there’s a bookstore with aesthetic vibes.’

When kids feel included, they are more engaged and cooperative. And when teens feel like they chose something, they are less likely to roll their eyes at your perfectly planned itinerary.

Make Sightseeing Fun: Book Kid-Friendly Tours

Tours don’t have to be boring—some of our best family travel memories have come from local experiences tailored for children. A cooking class in Chiang Mai, a street art tour in Berlin, a city scavenger hunt in London, or even a wildlife safari in South Africa—interactive activities like these make sightseeing fun instead of feeling like a history lecture.

We always check Viator, Get Your Guide, or Klook for unique, family-friendly tours that bring destinations to life. Trust me, letting kids and teens experience a place through an adventure or hands-on activity is far more memorable than just walking through a museum.

Practical Tips & Resources for Traveling with Kids & Teens

Something will go wrong—stay flexible. Lost luggage, missed flights, sudden “I don’t feel like going out” moments from your teen—it happens. Pack essentials in your carry-on, have backup plans, and be ready to adjust. We’ve had a couple of health scares while traveling, and trust me, those medical bills add up fast. A good travel insurance plan from Heymondo is worth every penny for peace of mind. And funny enough, some of the best travel moments happen when plans go sideways.

Security checks are their own adventure. TSA will always make you take off shoes, pull out liquids, and untangle every accessory. Teens will forget they’re wearing 10 rings and layered necklaces until the scanner beeps. I now remind Amishi before we get in line.

Jet lag hits everyone differently. Little kids wake up at 4 AM, teens could sleep till dinner. Adjust bedtimes before the trip, get into the local time zone ASAP, and expose them to morning sunlight to reset their body clock. No one wants to be wide awake at 2 AM looking for snacks.

Budget travel = smarter travel. Flights are cheaper mid-week, Airbnb saves money on meals, and free attractions often beat paid ones. Flights and hotels can get expensive, but using a good travel credit card (like Chase Sapphire or Amex Platinum) helps rack up points and miles for free flights, hotel stays, and even access to airport lounges (which is a game-changer on long layovers!). Let your teen pick one fancy meal or experience to avoid unnecessary “this trip is boring” complaints because sometimes, a well-planned splurge keeps everyone happy. Another easy way to save is Cashback apps like Rakuten, which lets you earn money back on hotel bookings, car rentals, and even travel gear. I’m sure you’d adore getting rewarded for spending on trips you were going to take anyway.

Getting teens involved means fewer complaints. Let them pick one activity per day, choose a restaurant, or research a cool spot. The more they feel included, the less likely they are to roll their eyes at your carefully planned itinerary.

Travel memories deserve more than a disappearing Snapchat story. Encourage them to document the trip in a fun way—a travel journal, a daily photo challenge, a short travel vlog, or sending postcards to themselves. Amishi pretends she’s not into it, but somehow, I always find a hundred random aesthetic pictures on her phone. And if you want to keep the travel bug going between trips, kid-friendly travel subscriptions are a fun way to do it. Little Passports (geography & culture kits) make learning about the world interactive for younger kids, while Audible is perfect for travel-friendly audiobooks—whether it’s a story set in a far-off country or a language-learning program.

This world is big and beautiful, and just because it’s there, it deserves to be seen. A Chinese proverb says “Travelling a thousand miles is better than reading a thousand books”. So, if you want your kids to grow up fun, fearless, and fabulous, take them on many journeys.

Let this world become their classroom, and the words they read on a page come alive. The lessons they’ll learn, the confidence they’ll gain, and the memories they’ll make will stay with them far longer than any souvenir ever could. Bring it on!

What are your thoughts on traveling with children? Can you think of any other reasons you should travel the world with kids while they are still little? Do you have any favorite family memories of your travel?

Maybe you did take your children on a wholesome vacation – how did they react? Was there a moment that made you pause and think, “Yes, this is why we do this”? Suggestions are always welcome. Thanks for reading!
