My Mom is the one who introduced me to traveling. She is the one who is responsible for my first trip on a plane, and because of her, I got to go to some pretty cool places when I was younger. But now that I’m adult, why should that change? It is a bit more difficult due to our busy lives and commitments, but we sure do have fun when we get the chance to spend time together. Here are some reasons why you should consider traveling more with your Mom.

1. She knows you better than anyone

Chances are she knows you pretty well any way! Your mom knows what you like and dislike, and vice versa, so traveling together is more enjoyable, especially if you like the same things.

2. You get to spend time together

Let’s be real…I am in my forties, but no matter how old you are, I bet you love spending time with your mom. But let’s be honest, it’s not often we can get one on one time with them. I think a trip is a great excuse!

3. It’s a chance to get to know each other again

Maybe it’s been awhile since you got to spend that much time with your mom, and you have to admit that taking a trip will definitely force you to really learn a lot about her.

4. Girl time is great for the soul

It’s so important as women to have some time away from our families. And honestly, I think it’s great for your family too. Every time I go away, when I come back, I feel a bit more appreciated.

5. Life is short

Let’s face it, none of knows when our time is up. Look, I have been through enough through my life that has made me appreciate every moment and cherish the time we do have here. No one is getting younger, so I encourage you not to wait. Plan that trip you always wanted to take. I bet you won’t regret it!
