But let’s be honest—childhood moves fast. The best time to create those unforgettable family memories? Right now.

Ever dreamed of taking your family on an epic adventure but felt overwhelmed by all the what-ifs? Is it safe? Will the kids enjoy it? How do we even start planning?

We get it. The idea of traveling with kids—especially somewhere as exciting as Thailand—can feel like a lot. But here’s the truth: your kids’ best travel years are happening right now.

Let’s dive into what makes Thailand a dream destination for families like yours.

Ever catch yourself saying, “We’ll travel when the kids are older” or “Maybe next year when life slows down”? Trust us—we’ve been there. Between school schedules, work meetings, and everyday chaos, it’s easy to push family travel to the back burner.

But here’s the thing: there’s never a perfect time. Kids grow up fast, and the best travel years are happening right now.

If you’re ready to turn “someday” into “let’s go,” here are ten destinations that families (including ours!) absolutely love.

Planning a family trip that’s not only fun but also educational might sound like a challenge, but it’s easier than you think—especially when you align your travel experiences with the Australian Curriculum. Whether you’re a homeschool family, a worldschooler, or just looking for ways to make your holiday meaningful for your kids, an educational trip can enrich your children’s learning in ways that no textbook ever could.

This guide will show you step-by-step how to design an educational trip that directly connects to what your kids are learning (or should be learning!) while still keeping it engaging, exciting, and full of unforgettable memories.

If you’re a mum with school-aged kids, you’ve probably spent countless hours worrying about their education—Are they learning enough? Are they happy? Are they being prepared for the future? I’ve been there too. It’s so easy to feel like education only happens in a classroom, surrounded by desks, whiteboards, and homework. But I’m here to tell you something I’ve learned firsthand: travel can be the best classroom your kids will ever experience.

Life doesn’t always go as planned…

In fact, if you’d told me a few years ago that we’d be living a life of full-time travel, exploring Australia with our four kids, I probably would have laughed!

Back then, we were just trying to keep our heads above water. Stuck in a cycle of stress, survival, and routine.

But sometimes, life has a way of forcing you to stop and rethink everything.

For us, that turning point came after years of challenges, struggles, and one life-changing lightbulb moment that finally made us ask: What do we really want from life?

Here’s how we went from spiraling in stress to embracing a life of adventure—and why it’s been the most rewarding decision we’ve ever made.

If I had a dollar for every time someone told me,

“We’d love to travel with our kids, but we’re waiting for the right time,”

I’d probably have enough to book another family holiday. I get it.

The thought of packing up your life and heading out on an adventure with kids can feel overwhelming. There are so many things to worry about—Will we be able to afford it? Will it be safe? Will the kids even remember it?

These are real fears, but I’m here to tell you something I’ve learned from my own experiences: the “perfect time” doesn’t exist.

And waiting for it?

That’s how you miss out on moments you’ll never get back.

Think back to the most meaningful lessons you’ve learned in your life. Chances are, they weren’t things you memorized for a test or read once in a textbook. They were experiences—something you saw, did, or felt deeply. That’s the magic of hands-on learning.

As parents who’ve chosen to homeschool, you already know the beauty of providing an education that nurtures curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning.

Home education isn’t about ticking boxes or following a rigid script—it’s about giving your child the freedom to explore, grow, and thrive in ways that reflect their unique gifts.
