The idea of a traveling child or traveling with children can seem daunting to some and may make others outright anxious. Traveling should be experienced as early as possible.
As a child, I didn’t travel much. I went on trips here and there but not frequently and not very far. I remember the first time I flew alone. It was the summer after my freshman year of college. I flew to Atlanta to hang out with one of my friends.
I remember telling my mom I wanted to go and asking her if $150 was a good price for a round trip ticket from Jacksonville to Atlanta. She said yes, and I booked it.
Traveling solo was freeing. I started looking for reasons to fly somewhere after that. I loved engaging with people from all over.
