[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I traveled a lot when I was younger and lived abroad as an expat in my 20’s. Now that I am married and have kids I seem to have lost that desire/spark for travel. Don’t get me wrong, I love trip planning but the world is just so much more global now and every small town has ethnic restaurants, Amazon gives us access to random special international products we could want and it seems like we do the same novelty things on every trip with the kids whether it’s horseback riding, random museum, going for dim sum, going white water rafting or surf lessons. Some of the big bucket list trips for me are just out of budget/not realistic w young kids like an African safari or Galapagos. Anyone feel this way? The last two times we dropped a considerable amount for us …$10k+ on a trip (again with a family of 4 this is a nice trip, not extravagant) I wish we had just put it towards an exciting house project.

Late to the thread - but, same. I live abroad for 10 years in my 30's/into my 40's and had my two children during that time. I distinctly remember being in Istanbul, pregnant with my second, and miserable because it was a miserable pregnancy, and thinking, that's it, I'm done with travel for awhile. I got over it somewhat, but when we finally moved back to the states I found I have little interest planning expensive trip that end up being more stressful than enjoyable. My husband has also become a grumpy old man type, so that makes it even less of a draw.[/quote]
