Hello Sofia,
Some of life’s most treasured moments are made when we step away from the everyday and travel with the ones we love. Whether it’s watching your children marvel at new cultures, sharing laughter over a family dinner in a far-off destination, or creating traditions that span generations, travel has a way of bringing families closer together.
And yet, for some, family travel may feel like an overwhelming possibility—coordinating schedules, choosing the right destination, and ensuring every family member has a memorable experience can be daunting.
This edition is dedicated to highlighting the joy and significance of family travel while showing you just how seamless and attainable it can be. With thoughtful planning, the right destinations, and tailored experiences, your next family adventure is closer than you think.
Let’s craft your next family travel story—one filled with connection, discovery, and moments you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

The Best Destination to Take Your Kids at Each Age — From Infants to College Graduates
Those who loved traveling before expanding their family likely dream of continuing to explore the world, little ones in tow. One of the most exciting parts of having children, after all, is the way they enrich and amplify almost every experience.
It can be challenging, however, to anticipate which places around the globe are most appropriate for kids as they grow into and out of different phases. It's also true that as little ones become big, trips become more expensive. But all the challenges are far outweighed by the collective joy that's possible on a family vacation, especially one tailored to the brood's developmental stage and interests.
| Rome is more family-friendly than you think | |
|
Most elementary school children will learn about Ancient Rome at some point in the curriculum, coming home with tales of gladiators, emperors and what occurred in the Colosseum. Completed in AD80, the ancient epicentre of the Eternal City holds a magical appeal for everyone who’s ever been told about the spectacles that occurred in the arena.
From the ancient Pantheon to the beauties of Michaelangelo’s Sistine Chapel and Salvi’s Trevi Fountain, there’s beauty and history at almost every turn in Rome.

I Took an African Safari With My 3 Children — and Here's How You Can, Too | |
As a mother who’s recently taken a Kenyan Holiday with children, I know how to plan a journey that meets the needs of all family members. Here are my firsthand tips and tricks for how to take an African safari for the whole family.
Work With a Guide
A professional guide can give a personal touch to a safari experience that enables you to truly connect with the surrounding environment. On our trip, the warm and knowledgeable presence of Kennedy Omwenga, our Micato Safari director, vastly improved every aspect of the journey. He was a Maasai elder in his home village, and as our highly credentialed guide, made sure our safari logistics — check-in at our lodges and camps; itineraries of each day’s activities; and luggage transportation — were seamless. Omwenga also brought his deeply rooted understanding of Kenyan wildlife and culture everywhere we went. He formed such a special bond with my sons that by the end of the trip, they were calling him rafiki, or friend, in Swahili.
