Today’s post about family travel quotes is a personal one for me! A good 20 years before I caught the travel bug, I went on a family trip to Japan. And even though I was only five years old, that trip blew my freaking mind, lol. My most vivid childhood memories are all from Japan!
I still remember the sights, colors, sounds, and smells so clearly – neon lights in the arcades of Akihabara, sizzling teppanyaki, rice and runny eggs for breakfast. Looking back, these experiences growing up probably inspired me to live the crazy life I do now!
My family and I are planning our first trip together since I was a teenager – so I thought I’d commemorate the occasion by collecting all my favorite family trip quotes in one place 🙂 These quotes all summarize the unique family travel experience and why traveling is an AMAZING bonding and learning experience for you and your kids (or parents)!
Just because you have kids doesn’t mean your travels have to stop – in fact, taking your kids on trips will create some incredible memories that they’ll never forget. And who knows – they might end up catching the travel bug too 😉
With no further ado, here’s all my favorite quotes about traveling with family!!
