International travel offers families a unique opportunity to learn together, try new things, and immerse themselves in culturally rich experiences. As a family, we have loved exploring beyond the U.S. borders to exciting destinations like Mexico, Canada, Italy, Scotland, and more. In fact, a few years ago, we set the goal to spend a month each summer in a new city around the globe. So far, we have spent those special months in Monopoli, Italy, and Inverness, Scotland. This has become our family’s version of “slow travel”. Hopefully, our adventures can inspire a few of yours!
