I travel with my little girl each summer. We’ve been to many places in America and love taking trips. When she was five, I started taking her to Europe for a month or more and we have done 8 weeks there this year. She’s 10 and now packs her bags, makes some travel choices (Paris, this year) and is flexible when things don’t go as planned. I am a teacher on a super tight budget, so I plan carefully, jump on cheap tickets and book inexpensive accommodations. We hit markets, cook, picnic and do as many free things as we can. I’m a lucky person to have a great traveling kid!
