20 Reasons You Should Travel With Your Kids

Continuing Education
One of my favorite stories from a homeschooling friend goes thus: In their curriculum, their kids were learning about Greece and Greek artifacts. They lived in London, so after reading about it all morning they went to the British Museum and saw a bunch of the things they’d just learned about. Then, at the end of the week, they flew to Greece for family vacation and went to the places they’d just learned about. Hands-on much?
Even my less exciting experiences of out-of-town museum trips and stops at Gettysburg or other battlefields had a big impact on my education and development. There’s something vividly real about visiting and seeing the things you learned about in school.

One of the biggest fears of people who want to embark on a solo trip is being alone. They think meeting new people will be a struggle, and if they can’t find a partner to travel with, they just cancel or postpone their adventure. The truth is that with a little bit of planning and initiative, it’s actually harder to be alone than you think. The travel community is extremely welcoming and one doesn’t need to try hard to be part of it.
