Traveling before kids involved spontaneity and a checklist mentality. The transition to traveling with kids was challenging, but it led to embracing slow travel. The author learned to appreciate experiences, like exploring the Colosseum with children, instead of rushing through. Kids encouraged taking time to engage with surroundings rather than focusing solely on ticking off destinations. Traveling with children has become a significant joy, allowing for deeper connections with the places visited and the cultures encountered.
Once I had kids, my approach to travel had to change. My spontaneous travel style with packed days no longer worked with kids who prefer predictability and play.
My children taught me to embrace slow travel. The value of slowing down has become apparent as we lingered instead of dashing through iconic sites.
Instead of rushing to tick off sites, my children showed me the joy of exploring and bonding with the culture at a relaxed pace.
Traveling with my children is now one of my greatest joys, as they've taught me to take in experiences rather than obsess over the next destination.
