In this incredible world of diverse cultures and natural environments, it’s always interesting to meet families from all walks of life that have things in common. What I’m finding more and more as I travel and talk to parents, is the overwhelming number of you who are becoming desperate to help their children to engage with the real world and leave behind the screen of a computer, phone, Playstation, Nintendo DS, X-Box, Wii...I’m proud to say that our trips do just that. Since the first adventure holidays for families we planned and operated in 1997, we’ve always aimed to provide fulfilling experiences where both parents and children can actively participate and learn about different ways of life. My kids still talk about their experiences of haggling in bazaars in Egypt, riding elephants in Thailand, visiting a school in Tanzania, and I see this as a vital part of their ‘education’.
The battle against the screen may never be won, but at least trips overseas like these give a chance to come up for air in the real world, and at the same time provide a lifelong memory, a place-marker in time for your ever-evolving family shape. The world economy has been through tough times in recent years and we’ve worked hard to keep the ethos of Families Worldwide the same at more affordable prices than ever. Experience your world together in 2010.
