The first part of planning a vacation is deciding who you are going to vacation with. Now we may be biased, but the best people to travel with are family. There are a lot of reasons to travel with your family and why family vacations are the best kinds of vacations. From new memories to amazing adventures we have narrowed down the best seven reasons why family travel is the best.
Traveling with your Family Creates Amazing Memories
It’s more than just the incredible scenery that makes it special, it’s the laughter, the awkward encounters watching mom haggle with a street vendor, and all the inside jokes that you’ll be talking, and mostly laughing, about during dinners and holidays for years to come.
Appreciation for Travel & Different Cultures
The world is huge. Spending time far from home, getting away from life as we know it can help us all to find our place in this world. There’s a path and a group for everyone. As a family you may even discover something new that you’ll love, together. The sooner you can travel with your family, exposing your kids to new cultures, the bigger the impact on their life. It may even mold and shape their future paths. All of which is exciting to watch!
Establishing New Traditions
Traditions are what make families, well, family. There is no way like traveling together to develop mew traditions. Maybe it’s something you pick up from the local culture or maybe the tradition becomes traveling as a family. Whatever it is, it’s always great to start a new tradition!
Learning New Things About your Family
There’s a good chance you’ll learn something new about your family and give them a chance to learn something knew about you too. There’s no better way to show your kids how cool you are than to go looking for lions together! Who knew your sister was so good at tracking wild animals? Seeing your family in a different light and getting to know them in new contexts can be really cool and eye opening.
You’ll Try New Things
Mom agreed to go shark cage diving with us?! And she’s good to go snorkeling with fish and zip-line over the jungle? Who knew she was that adventurous? When someone in your family is excited about trying something, you just might get the urge to try that new adventure too!
Experience a New Place Together
New places are exciting for everyone. Everything from the tastes to the sounds to the smells is an adventure. Chances are you’ll want to experience a new place together again! Whatever you do and wherever you go, whether it’s South Africa or Thailand, being there with your family is the best!
