 Why Families Love To Travel

"Traveling provides us with quality time focused on our family with out typical life responsibilities. Also, We get to learn and experience new things with each other."

Nicole Sweeney

"Travelling has been an unparalleled way to connect with my 2-year-old and see the world through her eyes. Without travel, I wouldn't have experienced my favorite moments with her."

Jennifer Greuel

"Traveling teaches my kids that the world is full of diversity, where some people look like them and others don’t, but we are all the same."

Lizzeth Valdivieso

I love traveling with my daughter because I remember traveling as a kid. We didn’t sleep at fancy hotels nor see any of the seven wonders; in fact, we drove to most of our destinations because we couldn’t afford to fly. But those hours in the car, racing in the National Mall with my cousins, fishing on the lake with my dad, the first time we went crabbing, walking into Constitution Hall all remain with me. I want that for my kid.

Natalia Maddela

If we were meant to be in one place, we’d be born as a tree. Explore, with your loved ones, the boon of being alive as a person.

Angela Khurana

You can buy your child material things, but showing them the world creates memories will last a lifetime.

Katrina Szurpeta

When we share travels with our kids, the world belongs to us and we learn to feel as we belong anywhere in the world

Julia Karpinski

Our family gains more than tan lines and extra treats during vacation. We experience joy, tantrums, new sights, sounds, smells, and cultural awakenings that will help our next generation of independent travelers to journey with understanding, kindness and respect.

Megan Pohorylo Tucker

Traveling with my children has helped us create bonds, memories, and traditions. This experience has helped us become open minded and respectful of other cultures. The best part, we get to explore this amazing world together
