  1. We are now happy that we generally don’t travel during high season. But when our kids were small, we often had to travel when everyone else did. Airbnbs are great ways to save money when travelling with a large group so you don’t need to rent several rooms. And we always bring a cooler so we can take snacks and picnic for one or more meal a day. Looking for free activities help save some money so we can splurge on others.

    1. We have to be smart when traveling during high season. And we still have a few years before we can go in low season. Can’t wait for it.

  2. I agree that one of the best ways to save money is to be strategic about your meal costs. Staying at an Airbnb or a hotel that offers a mini kitchen can really save a ton of money on meals. Especially if you have a big family 🙂

    1. Yes! It really help. We’re going to travel with my sister and her family this summer. There will be 4 adults and 3 tweens. So, we have to be super strategic.

  3. I don’t have kids yet, but I definitely want to travel with them when I am a family. It is often hard to get a vacation during low season, especially if you have a 9-5 job. So these tips are very good to learn about. Thank you for sharing.

  4. Family travel is a great experience and a great opportunity for some quality family bonding too. Families that travel together stay together. But definitely family travel is an expensive proposition and one needs to try and optimize costs. It was great reading the perspective of different bloggers who travel as a family.

  5. I don’t have children (yet!) so can’t answer this fully! However, I still abide by a lot of the rules here, as I like to splurge on certain things, like spas and hotels. So, making sandwiches, and eating lighter some days does help. I also like the idea of these car rental clubs. I’ve never heard of them, but in Europe, they’re probably a little different. I think it’s great all these families are teaching their kids the importance of travel!

    1. I never heard about the car rental club either. And yes, teaching your kid as young as you can be to become a traveler is a good thing.
