Finding Travel Buddies: How Families Connect Before Vacation

What are travel buddies for families?

The concept of travel buddies has been around for solo travelers and backpackers for a long time. But what about families? Finding travel buddies is especially valuable for families with children: You share experiences, the kids have playmates, and the parents can finally relax.

Why travel buddies make family vacations better

A family travel buddy is more than just company. It's the solution to the biggest family vacation problem: entertaining the kids.

• Kids play together – all day, every day, without parental animation program
• Parents take turns – one couple goes to dinner, the other watches the kids
• Shared activities – boat trips, hikes, water parks are more fun together
• Cost sharing – rental car, vacation home, excursions become cheaper

The problem: How do you find family travel buddies?

Your friends are traveling at different times. Your colleagues don't have kids the same age. Finding a vacation buddy for the family seems like a matter of luck. But it doesn't have to be.

Real travel buddies: What it looks like in practice
