Family travel can be hard to manage for many reasons. Your money mindset, scheduling time, and assumed parental obligations all impact your trip.
When my kids were in high school, I noticed a lot of families taking their kids to Europe, and a lot of emotional fallback afterwards due to different expectations for the trip.
Our families don’t always connect with our visions about a vacation. By taking the time to understand each family member’s expectations we can manage the various “magical thinking” moments among all involved.
What do you want from your experience? Do your expectations align with both your capacity and your family’s capacity?
This week, I share how I have handled our family vacations over the years. Every trip is imperfect but finding methods of feeling fulfilled from your travels rather than depleted is essential. Let’s explore how to set your family up for success at home and abroad.
