Travelling with your children not only expands their horizons but also allows you to create beautiful family memories that you can treasure forever, so if you’re planning your family Summer vacay right now and want to ensure it goes as smoothly as possible, then this episode is for you.

In this episode, Yamel covers:

• The importance of starting your planning early - keep notes in your phone of where you want to visit and consider a spreadsheet to keep everything organized and in one place.

• Delegating someone in the family to be across travel documents and, importantly, make sure your passports have 6-months of validity or this could scupper your travel plans!

• Preparing for different eventualities is key, from checking the local weather of your destination, packing things for your kids’ entertainment should there be a flight delay and ensuring you have potential medication on you should someone get sick. Grab your Summer Medicine Toolkit Guide here.

• The importance of flexibility! Keep in mind things take longer when travelling in a family group and prepare for the unexpected - you may have delays or changes of plan but keeping an open mind and staying flexible will ensure Summer success.

And much more!
