How We Travel with Kids on a Tight Budget

Traveling with kids doesn’t have to mean expensive resorts or theme parks. Here’s how we manage to explore and create memories without spending a fortune.

Local Adventures First

We’ve discovered that kids find adventure everywhere! Some of our favorite experiences have been:

• City parks we’ve never visited before
• Nature trails within driving distance
• Free museum days
• Local festivals and events

Planning Tips

1. Travel during off-peak seasons
2. Use credit card rewards for flights
3. Book apartments with kitchens instead of hotels
4. Pack snacks and lunch boxes
5. Look for “kids eat free” deals

Making Memories

The best part? Kids don’t care about luxury hotels or expensive attractions. They remember:

• Playing in new playgrounds
• Picnics in different places
• Meeting other kids
• Simple adventures like riding local buses
• Collecting rocks, leaves, or shells

Remember: It’s not about how far you go or how much you spend - it’s about the experiences you share together!
