Five Reasons for Multigenerational Traveling

Our world is a busy place to live in. Between work, cleaning the house, feeding the dog, and taking the kids to school, life doesn’t give us much time to slow down. We all need to get away for awhile, and who better to vacation with than your family! Traveling with family is a great way to blend each member together in person and finally relax with the ones you love. So, if you were waiting for the right time to seize an opportunity to get away with your family, the time is now! Here are 5 reasons why:

• Memories

The memories that you could make with your kids, grandkids, parents, and in-laws are simply priceless. Connecting over Facetime or Skype doesn’t give you those in person memories that will last a lifetime.When you look at that picture of you and your family on your nightstand, memories of laughter and travel will flood your mind.

• Seeing the world through your kids/grandchildren’s eyes

We all see the world in a different ways, and what better way to see things than through the wide-eyes of a child who carelessly giggles as a disney princess waves to them. Vacationing will come to an end and you will have to get back to the business of life, so why not take some time and be a kid again.

• Seeing the world through new eyes

By now, you have probably seen and experienced many cool things this world has to offer, but vacationing with the family can allow you to take a step back, breath, and embrace the beauty of family. It is an amazing thing when you get to see your child or in-law experience something new and exciting, and can bring a whole new perspective for you.

• Affordable family vacations

Taking the whole family on a vacation doesn’t have to break the bank. There are many options and price ranges for an amazing multigenerational getaway. Camping, cruising and vacation rental properties are great ways to get the family together on a budget. Cruises frequently offer deals where kids sail at a discounted rate. Hotels and resorts offer incentives such as kids eat free. Get creative and get out there with your family!

• Getting everyone involved

No one is left out! Multigenerational traveling is a great way to do activities that that allows children - and adults - to choose what they want to do. By doing this, family members are more invested in the trip and all around have a better time. Make choosing an activity fun for everyone!


Traveling as a family is more than just sight-seeing and doing fun activities, it's about making the most of  the precious time that you have now with each other. Because as we all know, time flies, life gets busy, and this precious time will slowly slip away from you. These experiences can last a lifetime, and be a legacy that you can pass down to your family.  So don’t wait for the perfect time to travel with your family, start planning a trip and be ready to make memories that will last a lifetime!
