How and Why Take Your Kids to Europe
May 22, 2014
Why Europe with kids? As the base of Western Culture, Europe is a huge living museum of history, so perfect for educational travel for families with endless lessons about international travel and multilingual/multiculturalism.
Not to mention the amazing food, sights, beauty and fun factor!
Europe is dense, with many countries, speaking many languages, and many cultures, in a fairly compact area ( compared to North America), so unparalleled opportunity to understand the past and learn.
One can visit prehistoric art in caves,inspect Roman ruins, see wild horses and medieval fortresses, hear gypsy guitar at Moorish palace, and explore an ancient working wind mill, all within a few days!
Although I highly recommend that you spend as much time as you can and do slow travel in Europe and take time to enjoy the food, people, cultures or even learn a language like Spanish in Spain.
HOW?
We think the best way to see Europe is camping! One of our best decisions on our 8 year open ended family trip around the world has been using an RV for Europe. Vacation rentals and trains in Europe can work too while staying on a tight budget like we do.
I have written extensively on this topic, but here some more ideas that might help in your planning:
