Family Travel
with Ideas and Resources to Teach through Travel
That is so awesome that you are taking time to travel with your family! I truly believe that travel is an experience that everyone deserves and needs. Seeing the world is not only fun, but it also enriches our lives and expands our perspectives. By traveling abroad with your children, you are taking a pivotal step in raising global citizens. This is an important moment for your child to grow and learn from.

Daniel and Jill have two girls, Alina (9) and Sofia (6), and have enjoyed traveling as a family every summer excluding the years when the girls were first born. Both parents work in schools, and so summers have become an opportunity to go on extended trips. I was able to ask Daniel all about how they have managed to keep this up!
Patty Monahan started a tour company called Our Whole Village, which specializes in family travel and raising children to become global citizens. As a travel addict and a former educator, I have been a guest writer on her blog, which is filled with stories and tips related to family travel. I asked Patty about her thoughts on global citizenship, traveling with children, and what her offered tours are like. Plus, she's giving my readers a discount on all trips and tours!
