5 Tips to Keep Your Adventure Crew Happy 👇

Family trips and adventures are exciting, but it’s crucial to ensure that the experience remains enjoyable for everyone involved. Here are five tips to prevent overwhelming your adventure family:

🗺️ Choose an Inclusive Destination
Select a location that offers a variety of activities catering to all age groups and interests. A hotel with a pool is always a hit with our family. We can go hiking in the morning and have pool time in the afternoon, and everyone is happy.

⚖️ Balance activity and rest
While it’s tempting to fill the itinerary with continuous activities (guilty 🙋‍♀️), incorporating downtime is essential to prevent fatigue and ensure everyone stays energized and engaged. Trust me on this, adventuring all day, every day is not sustainable in the long run, physically, mentally, and financially!

🗣️ Encourage open communication
Foster an environment where family members feel comfortable expressing their preferences and concerns. Checking in with everyone and having family meetings about your upcoming trip is a great way to ensure individual needs are met and the trip will be a success.

🐝 Be flexible with plans
Unexpected events or differing energy levels may require adjustments to your itinerary. Embracing flexibility allows your family to adapt to changing circumstances, reducing stress and enhancing the overall enjoyment of the trip.

🧳 Simplify Packing
Encourage family members to pack light, focusing on essentials and versatile clothing. Managing fewer belongings reduces the hassle during travel and allows for easier movement, contributing to a more relaxed adventure. We have some family members who have a hard time with this one, but we won’t mention her name, right, Kiara! 🙈
