Hey there,
Having amazing advntures doesn’t just happen.
Usually, you have to actually leave your house. And this take planning. Most people want to travel more, but what stops them?
Often it is real (or created) barriers - like time, money, preferences, fears, health, etc. Often is just a lack of planning and by the time you want to plan a trip, it’s too expensive or your schedule is filled up with other commitements.
A few resources on how we actually plan and prioritize family travel:
How to Plan a Trip: The Exact 11 Steps We Use: our real planning process, start to finish.
Why We Take Solo Adventures with Our Kids: one of the best parenting moves we’ve made.
100 Incredible Adventures with Kids: our running family bucket list.
20 Epic Teen Travel Experiences: if you’re traveling with older kids.
Practical tip: Start your travel planning early. A good rule of thumb is to think a year out and then book in the right window - you can get my cheat sheet for booking adventure travel at the bottom of this email.
The Best Resources to Plan Better Travel - the tools we actually use to plan travel.
Have fun out there,
