2×03 Traveling With Kids
Summary: <br> If you feel that after a vacation with the kids YOU need a vacation – you’re not alone! Traveling with kids is not always easy, sometimes we want them to have so much fun, that we forget to have fun ourselves. We brought on Instagram-known traveler and blogger <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dadndaddies/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Devon Gibby</a> to share his experience and give us some tips on traveling with kids (and also without!)<br> <br> <br> <br> “A lot of [my traveling] is pretty impulsive,” Devon reveals<br> in Daddy Squared interview, “travel is the way that I express my impulses,<br> like, I booked this flight [to LA] two weeks ago. With the kids is a lot more<br> planning. We follow accounts on Instagram that track flights from Salt Lake<br> City, if we suddenly find a great deal that we can’t turn down, well, we’ll do<br> it.”<br> <br> <br> <br> “I grew up camping a lot, I grew up in a farm in southern<br> Idaho, and so traveling for us was either taking a camper or just tents and<br> finding a place to camp for the night. So I didn’t do a lot of traveling until<br> I was 19, I went on my Mormon mission to Trinidad and Guyana and I did not want<br> to come home. My parents, at the end of my Mission they came to pick me up and<br> we rented a car and drove all around the island, went on some hikes, went<br> swimming in this fresh water streams, it was absolutely gorgeous. We camped on<br> the beach, watched sea turtles lay eggs… I definitely fell in love with<br> traveling then.”<br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dadndaddies/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"></a><br> <br> <br> <br> Three tips about traveling that we learned from our<br> discussion with Devon:<br> <br> <br> <br> 1. Let the kids pack their luggage themselves- like always,<br> involving the kids creates a sense of control and purpose in them, which makes<br> them more excited and determined to cooperate in traveling and well-behaving.<br> <br> <br> <br> 2. Don’t tell your kids where you’re going until the last<br> minute– the element of surprise is exiting and doesn’t leave too much room for<br> rejections or any unwanted drama.<br> <br> <br> <br> 3. Follow deals accounts on Instagram – it’s an easy way to<br> get deals come to you rather than constantly looking for them<br> <br> <br> <br> Do you have any traveling tips?
