She left teenager planning our trips by choosing a destination from a bowl
- My husband and I loved a travel adventure even before we have children.
- When they were born, he did not slow us down, and we continued to explore new places while raising children.
- We now allow our children to plan for our next holiday, and this has led to great adventures.
My husband and I am thirsting adventurers who love hiking, camp and exploring the world through trips outside the path. Before we have children, We appeared widely in the United States India (where are we originally) until we spent the honeymoon on a 18 -day wild trip via New Zealand while it is completely outside the network without a planned agenda.
When our children were born, our flights did not slow down. In fact, some of my most vibrant memories are camping in GLACIRE National Park, and long -distance walk Babybjörn holder My daughter is on a long -distance walking carrier.
Quickly forward about a decade, my country Teenagers started their own opinions About where they wanted to go – he was often inspired by the books they read or the films they watched. We have provided an interesting tradition to allow them to get an opinion: writing destinations on Chits and a winner of the aquarium. Each child offers four options they want to explore, draw two competitors, evaluate them for feasibility and cost, and then narrow them into one. If one child is chosen, the other takes the initiative to plan the journey. If no choice does, we re -draw it until we find the perfect suitability.
This process has led to incredibly escape – and sometimes unexpected – for us. Below are some of the most unforgettable.
Free diving in the Great Coral Barrier
Both my children are strong swimmers and they always loved the ocean. Before the epidemic, they wanted to spend a summer to explore a new country while learning the waves, so they chose Australia.
While we traveled to cities like Sydney and Melbourne, the most unforgettable experience was our journey to The Great Coral Barrier. The vibrant vibrant world diving, we monitored the coral sharks, clown fish and groups. The most prominent of the real discrimination was free diving along a shallow section. Both children get rid of diving and swimming equipment between fish schools, completely immersed in deep blue purity.
To this day, they are still talking about that moment and a feeling of wonder they gave them.
Stay in a Badwin camp in Wadi Rum, Jordan
Inspired by “Mars” and “Indiana Jones and the last of the Crusader campaign“One year, my 15 -year -old daughter chose Jordan, who turned into one of the best trips. It was not the scene of soft pink shapes to build a cabinet in Burra and the surreal experience of the floating in the Dead Sea is unforgettable but nothing compared to our time in a Badwin camp in the heart of the level of level.
I felt as if we had entered a different world, where the time slowed and took off the desert. When the sun fell under the horizon, endless red dunes exploded in gold and scarlet shades, we left in awe of its absolute beauty. At night, she opened the sky, and revealed a million stars that seemed very close to touching her almost.
The Bedouin host shared the old navigation art across the stars, and teaches us how to use planets as a compass. My children were fascinated by stories and feeling very small, but it is deeply associated with an old thing.
A active volcano climbing in Chile
The presence of two athletes in the family ensures that there is always one activity that presses the heart during our trips. Meanwhile, my 15 -year -old son chose Chile, my 19 -year -old daughter planned to a picnic to Villarica’s summit, the most active volcano of South America in South America. It stands at a height of 9340 feet, and provides picturesque views of the Andes Mountains, but the height does not walk in the garden. Ice acute slopes need cramps, ax ax, and a mandatory guide to navigate at icebergs and loose volcanic smell.

You can only get about 10 minutes to take everything, and if the volcano is active recently, you may even need a gas mask to withstand sulfur fumes. But if the conditions are correct, you are dealing with a rare view, the jaw is divided from the hole filled with steam.
While we continue to draw our next adventure from the aquarium, I cherish the thought that I am not only planting a teenage adventure, but also learned to embrace the unknown and unexpected – whether in life or travel.
