Travel with Kids

People are discussing on social media whether it’s possible to travel internationally with small children. And yes, it’s possible but a more important question is whether it’s necessary. Children don’t need it. It’s done exclusively for adults. We’ve traveled internationally with Klara. She tolerated it as a form of eccentricity in which her parents engage for incomprehensible reasons. I don’t experience any need to pretend that she benefitted from it in a way she wouldn’t have from spending that time at home with her parents.

I’m fairly well-traveled but I don’t see why people turn travel into some sort of a meaning-conferring activity.

One thought on “Travel with Kids

  1. I traveled a bit with my child, including internationally to see our families. I do agree it is not necessary and there were times I felt that perhaps we all should have stayed home. As a punishment now, my child has really enjoyed our travels and keeps asking me when I am taking them on an airplane trip again and telling me about all the places they want to visit now…
