Traveling as a family can be a great opportunity to spend
quality time together away from hectic schedules that tie up our
everyday lives. It can provide children with unbelievable,
"hands on" learning experiences and inspire young minds to
understand, respect, and appreciate other cultures and
environments.
However, traveling as a family is not without its hazards and
can create added challenges for the safety, health, and
enjoyment of everyone involved. With this in mind, we have
created a family suggestion sheet to help you make the most out
of your experience abroad. Below are some general tips that
apply to any of our adventures and some tour-by tour comments to
help you decide if a specific trip is right for your family. For
more information, please contact us anytime. We look forward to
helping you create the perfect adventure for your family!

Some
helpful tips…
1. Choose an adventure as a family:
Include your kids of all ages in the decision-making process.
Show them pictures, talk about what you are hoping to
experience, and don't forget to discuss some of the challenges
you might encounter such as people who don't speak their
language, strange foods, long walks, unscheduled time, etc.
2. Research the area: Make
it a family project to learn about the country you will be
traveling to. Encourage children to read books and/or watch
films before the trip. Help your children think up questions
that they would like to ask while they are there.
3. Consider health precautions:
Contact your pediatrician to find out minimum age
recommendations for suggested immunizations. Don't forget to
discuss any specific health concerns for your child that might
be aggravated by the stresses of overseas travel. Pack a basic
first-aid kit including Band-Aids, pain relievers, anti-itch
lotion, and anti-diarrhea medication.
4. Pack the essentials: Make
sure all children pack their favorite book or portable game,
along with travel games to keep them entertained during long
flights or airport layovers. Bring crayons, pens, paper, etc in
your carry-on so that kids can quickly access these items.
