[quote=Anonymous]I'm so glad I started traveling with mine very young.

At 4 years old, she's already been to six countries, plus a lot of domestic trips, and is a fantastic traveler now. And I don't just mean she tolerates planes or train rides well. She is actively engaged in and excited about the travel.

She likes to help plan the itineraries, watch videos about the places we are going, take photos of her favorite sites with her little camera, and yes even enjoys the excitement of checking into the hotel or boarding the train. She knows how to go to art museums and pick out her favorite paintings or guess what a sculpture is made out of. She's learning how maps work. She notices the different languages she hears and tries new foods.

I feel like because we got the hard part of "learning to be a traveler" out of the way early, she can really enjoy the travel and it's now fun for us as a family. So yes, your 2 year old doesn't need to "see" Vienna. But going to Tokyo with your 8 year old will be a lot more fun if travel is not new for them.
