This is a group for families and individuals who are always on the go. Their suitcases are never put away because the next adventure is just a day away.

My children can pack within a few minutes and can't wait to go on any trip. I passed on my love of the road to them at a very young age and they are happy to live out of a suitcase. Does that sound like your family? Maybe this would be the group for you!

We'll talk about trips we've taken, places to go and also to avoid. Do you have any tips for long-distance travelling with children or pets? Share photos of your trip in our Photo Section.

The best travel is not about a list of monuments, museums and landscapes. The best travel is about people, and if you travel well it is people that you are going to remember most. People that are strange, unique, foreign, similar, friendly, nice, hospitable, loving, kind, rude, outrageous and normal. These will be the experiences that stay with you forever, that no postcard can ever reproduce.

This is an unmoderated group, but please remember it's meant for all ages.
