Travelling with teenagers

HomeHoliday types Travelling with teenagers

Parents are not always ideal travel companions as far as older teenagers are concerned. Yet, making sure that hard-to-pleae adolescents are enjoying the vacation as much as everyone else just takes a little planning to ensure there is something for all ages on your next trip away.

For example, taking them to a remote woodland cottage with no Wi-Fi is unlikely to gain you many fans, but some resort-style relaxation by the sea (especially if its Instagram worthy!) or an adventure getaway filled with some adrenalin-fuelled activities to tell their friends about are sure to be winners.

Read our guide to travelling with teenagers for articles, tips and tricks that will have even the grumpiest adolescent counting down the days until the next family vacay.
