"As a mother of four in my mid-30s, the invitations to bachelorette weekends and girls' trips with my friends are starting to dry up - and I'm totally OK with it. In their place, I've been jet-setting with a multigenerational group of women in my family, ranging in age from 30 to 70. We started traveling together five years ago as a birthday celebration for my aunt, and had so much fun that we've turned it into a regular getaway."
"When travelling with my family, though, it seems obvious and understood that we wouldn't want to do the same thing all the time because we're all different ages. If a planned activity doesn't appeal to everyone, it's fine to pull out. For example, on a recent trip to Mexico City, the 60-and-up contingency didn't feel up to the climb to Chapultepec Castle. Instead, they peeled off to play cards at our Airbnb while the rest of us forged ahead."
Invitations to bachelorette weekends and girls' trips decreased after becoming a mother of four in the mid-30s, prompting travel with multigenerational women in the family aged 30 to 70. The group began five years ago as an aunt's birthday celebration and became a recurring getaway. Multigenerational travel brings flexible expectations, more downtime, and freedom to opt out of activities without pressure. Older relatives may relax at the Airbnb while others sightsee, and individuals can pursue solo activities like running or shopping. The trips foster deep conversations, reduce post-trip burnout, and make traveling feel more fulfilling than prior friend-focused getaways.
