[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m curious about this too. My kids will have been to quite a few states (mostly because we have moved within the US a few times) and about 5 countries. When I graduated from high school I had never been outside the US, but that was many years ago. And we were poor. [/quote]
OP here.  Travel abroad wasn’t a thing even for most middle class families.  Now it’s the norm?? I wonder for how long given inflation. But yeah, it’s crazy all the places kids have been to from my kids’ classes.[/quote]

You can take them places, but to be honest my best trips were ones I paid for in my twenties when I wasn't traveling with my parents. Earlier trips with my mother were very stressful and over organized.

Backpacking, staying in hostels, meeting new people and surviving on very little a day was the best kind of travel for me.  My kids were taken to far flung places around the world because my husband and I come from different parts of the world and had to visit extended family in these countries - this isn't the norm though. Now, I expect my kids to decide on their own travel experiences and I hope they have some fun adventures.[/quote]
