[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly travel isn’t the end all and be all for exposing kids to different cultures. And yes a week or two weeks long vacation where you just visit the touristy spots isn’t exactly exposure to different cultures. But that duration is fine if all you want to do is visit places that have historical significance.

With the crowds these days, traveling has become overrated for me. Plus we are bound by when the kids are off school. Tourist spots are always so crowded during winter break, spring break and summer break. It’s over whelming with the long line ups for pretty much everything and takes the joy out of traveling to new destinations. [/quote]
OP here. Not sure if the point is to expose them to different cultures but rather see different places. I’m South American and my kids have been to my country a few times and even then they are just getting a little bit of it when they visit so I get what you are saying. I noticed some people who travel to tons of different countries (especially poorer ones like mine) to “expose” their kids to different cultures are still kind of condescending jerks living in a bubble when they come back home.   I do want to at least give my kids the opportunity to see a few different places in the US and abroad.  Even if we doubled our HHI, there’s no way we can take tons of weeks off work to travel.  So my kids’ final list will never be as long as many of the PPs.   I do hope travel is accessible to them when they are adults.  I think bc of climate change, things might look different.  [/quote]
