Traveling with a Child

October 4, 2016 by Laurie Deppa Leave a Comment


As some of you may know I travel often with my 5-year old.  She has been to 21 countries and is quite the traveler.  When she was 10-months old my husband deployed for 4 months to Romania.  Instead of staying home lonely, I packed her up (two suitcases, car seat, stroller and baby) and headed to Europe for a month.  We hit 6 countries and never looked back.  Since then I haven’t stopped traveling because of her – I travel for her and with her.

It’s often difficult at times and we have our share of meltdowns – but I don’t let it get me down.  I block time for free play, find playgrounds whenever possible and ensure she gets enough rest.

I have chosen to homeschool her – her education will be the world.  She will never been a racist or close-minded.  She will be a citizen of the world.

There are amazing airfares to be had recently.  So next time you are planning a vacation think outside the box.  Think about what you want to teach your child.  You can be very creative and have amazing life experiences that your children will never forget.
