Absolutely.
I'm sure being overseas helped them with language learning.
With kids who have traveled when younger, many are more worldly & independent & intellectually curious than their peers who didn't.

[b]I mean I enjoy traveling with my kid, but this idea that the trip to Budapest when she was 5 is somehow making her intellectually superior is absurd. You all need to get over yourselves.[/b][/quote]

+ 1  million  I never went anywhere until I was 18. I majored in a foreign language in college. I am independent and intellectually curious. Who knows how that happened (maybe from going to Latin mass as a kid and reading a lot of books my parents had around?). Meanwhile my own kid traveled a lot and he really would rather just stay at home (and he never learned a foreign language). You can convince yourself that you are making your child superior to their peers who have not traveled, but it's a bit delusional IMO. Kids kind of turn out the way they want to turn out. You don't have complete control over their minds. [/quote]
