How did kids change your travels?
Our take
My wife (wild to say, just married) and I are currently in Japan discussing how traveling with kids may differ compared to the two of us.
A bit about us, we've been to all 7 continents together over the past 5 years across 15+ trips. We have built (and lucked into) a blessed life and constantly express gratitude!
Further, we typically travel at a fast pace, say ~20k steps per day for ~2 weeks with multiple hotels. Eventually, returning to work restored and refreshed but physically more exhausted than when we left!
Finally, we seek out nature oriented activities in every trip (wildlife viewing, snorkeling, parks) but also love long city days, theme/amusement parks, and sporting events.
So, anyone who traveled like us before kids, what has changed with them? And how did it change as they have grown? Anyone who didn't travel like us, I would love to hear your perspective, too!

- 5-7 Day Trip with Two Kids (14, 11)- Looking for Ideas/Narrowing Down IdeasOur kids are finally old enough where we want to take them somewhere "adventureous" and am looking for advice and guidance. My wife and I are rather athletic so no restrictions there. The oldest is as well. It is the youngest who doesn't quite of the stamina for hiking 6 hours or anything but he is plenty fit to handle shorter burst adventures. We would like to stay in North America. A National PArk sounds great but choosing the right one that fits kids stamina + making it worth it for adults seems hard to me. Like we would love to do the Grand Canyon, but we do not believe the youngest could hike down into it and if we are going to go somewhere like that, we want to do it right. Yellowstone, cruise to Alaska, Costa Rica, and Puerto Rico were the initial ideas we had. I figured there were more National Parks that aren't as popular as Yellowstone that I don't know of so please shout them out if they are kid friendly-ish. Other than the Smokeys, I've been there so would rather not repeat selfishly. Thanks in advance and let me know any other information you need. submitted by /u/MindofShadow [link] [comments]
- With travel costs reaching new highs, in what ways have you adjusted your vacation plans?My wife and I (Double income, No kids) make a decent amount of money and we usually do 3 international trips (10+ hour flights and we usually spend 7-8 nights) a year and a half a dozen of “domestic flights” (5-6 hours flights and usually stay 4-5 nights ex NYC, Mexico City, Hawaii, etc). But given how everything is so expensive this year we had to cut down half of our trips this year. I know this sounds like a “first world problems” but as someone who doesn’t have any kids, traveling is what makes our exhausting career worth pushing through. How are your travel plans got affected this year? submitted by /u/mrlanyc [link] [comments]
