“That will never happen to me.”

I am sure now you have learned that all of that WILL happen to you, and much worse! :)

My wife and are are both geologists and avid world travelers both for work and for joy. When we had kids, we have two daughters, 9 and 13 now, we said to ourselves that we will NOT change our travel habits, no matter what. We didn't. Was it easy, NO. Was it doable? yes, for sure? Is our kids better for it? yes. Do to they watch a lot of iPad? when we both work from home? Yes. Are they addicted to their devices? No.

My 13 year old just did a trip with her firends alone from Japan, 18 days trip.

Before that she traveled to Italy, the previous summer, again with her friends. Not to mention the travel she does with us.

Your kids will be a reflection of you, they will mold their life according to your own, and they will be better for it.
