The simplest way to bring textbooks to life is traveling. As a parent, traveling may be overwhelming if you’re planning a tour for your child for the first time. Many teenagers are spending most of their time on social media, texting, or watching Netflix, so it’s vital to encourage some outdoor activities. In this blog, we’ll share a few ways you can encourage your teens to travel the world.
Start with Small Trips
Plan small trips if your teens want to stay home all the time. Weekends are the best for short travel with them; you can take them to the beach or the nearest mountain for hiking. If they love wildlife, you can take them to the zoo or the nearest destination where they can enjoy the company of animals. Once you have succeeded in developing travel interest in them, arrange an international tour.
Tell the Benefits of Traveling
Traveling to new destinations can bring a big change in anyone’s life, especially teens. As teenagers are in the stage between childhood and adulthood, they can learn new skills. Remind them that traveling can help them find internships or jobs.
Opting for glorious vacation spots like Hawaii will make them more likely to consider this. You can encourage your child to apply for summer jobs in Hawaii as you’ll find many programs offered during summer vacation. Each place offers a different experience, and you can boost creativity in your child by letting them explore the world.
If your teens are hardworking and spend most of their time studying, then traveling can be the perfect way to unwind. Consider taking them to a new place right after their exams, as it will relieve stress and relax their mind. The pressure of studies might hurt their physical health.
Let Them Plan Everything
Getting them involved in planning is the easiest way to encourage your child to travel. If they like something about the destination, they might be more excited to plan a trip. This way they can have their say. If your child is a history buff, let them choose the museums and sites they wish to see in person. Be with them when they are making arrangements like booking a hotel or reserving a flight.
Discover the Reason
It’s important to know the reason for your child’s procrastination. You can’t propose a solution until you know the root cause. They may love playing video games all the time. If this is the case, talk it out with them and create a schedule for screen time and outdoor activities.
Share Your Memorable Trips
While you want to inform them of the safety precautions to take while traveling, you also want to share your greatest adventures to entice them to explore. Share your good traveling experiences like the hospitality of the locals, how you enjoyed hiking at K2, saw wildlife, or anything that can excite them. The best approach is to show them beautiful pictures of your honeymoon or a family tour. This is how you can make them curious and ignite their passion for traveling and visiting the destinations you show them in pictures.
Studies have shown that traveling plays a key role in improving mental health. Encourage your teenagers to make international friends and explore new cultures. If you want to see your children become successful and responsible, let them spend quality time alone with their friends.
For most trips, airfare is the most expensive part of the trip. While prices of flights have gone down in recent years to promote tourism, there are still many ways in which you can put a dent while booking flight tickets.
Whether you are a budget solo traveler or a family looking for a vacation abroad, saving on flight tickets can give you some extra cash in your hands to spend while traveling.
What’s more, if the flight tickets are expensive, you will keep putting the trip off. We have seen many people canceling their vacation tours just because of the flight ticket prices.
And yet, airlines have thousands of amazing deals – from mistakenly updated low fares to travel discounts – people are not just able to find the right moment and practices to get the best deal on their flight tickets.
This is why we are here today. Here, in this article, we will help you save on flight tickets.
Tips To Save On Flight Ticket
If you are someone who doesn’t have any reason to travel. You travel because you want to. In that case, there is no way you are going to wait for that off-season discount to get special fares on your trip.
The truth is, if you plan your trip and book your flight ticket beforehand, you can find ways to get a discount on the flight tickets. For instance, if you are planning to visit The Taj Mahal – one of the seven wonders of the world, you can start looking for flights to India two months prior to the travel date.
This will allow you to get the ticket at the lowest price without any discounts. If this is not enough, you can follow these simple tricks to get to book your flights.
Be Flexible With Date & Time
Airline flight prices vary greatly every day and week. Even small events and seasons affect the price of flight tickets. For instance, August is the season when most people decide to visit Europe. So, if you plan to visit Europe in August, you will have to pay more than usual.
But, if you plan to visit Europe after August, flight ticket prices might reduce significantly. So try to be flexible with your dates.
Avoid Flying Direct
Just being flexible with dates and time is not enough. You must also have a flexible route to reach your destination. For instance, it will cost less to take a flight to London and then take a local flight to Amsterdam than to fly directly to Amsterdam.
But to use this method, you need to be aware of different flights and their timing. Open Google Flight and type the destination. You will be able to see the different routes. You can then compare the prices of the routes and take the one where you can save a couple of hundred bucks.
Compare Different Search Engines
To find the best deal, you need to find multiple websites. Every search engine charges a commission on flight tickets. Because they are in competition with the other search engines, they tend to lower their commission to give a better price than their competitors. You can use this to your advantage to save some money.
Start your search with the most popular flight search engines and select the route which you will take. Now you use the same route as a reference to search on different search engines. You will be able to see which search engine is offering lower prices.
Final Tip: Pay With Credit Card
Taking out a credit card always comes with risks. But, if you can use it carefully, you will be able to save money. In addition, credit cards always offer protection while making large purchases. For instance, if you are spending more than $100 on flight tickets, you will be protected if the airline goes bust.
Furthermore, credit cards are better at exchange rates than credit cards if you are using a credit card to spend money while traveling and buying souvenirs. In fact, you can even earn air miles using a credit card. You can use these air mile points to get better discounts on your next flight tickets.
Ever since our youngest, The Boy, took a job as a pilot in Alaska we have been intrigued by the unique corner of Alaska that his small airline serves.
He flies to about two dozen little native villages that are only accessible by air – there are no roads in or out of the harsh tundra.
These are some of the most remote settlements anywhere in the United States… CONTINUE READING >>
Since summer is the only time that this adventure can reasonably be accomplished, we thought we would take a look back at one of the most interesting days we have ever spent.
Bethel from the air, no roads lead to Bethel.
Since the day our youngest, The Boy, took a job as a pilot in Alaska we have been intrigued by the unique corner of Alaska that his small airline, Yute Air, serves.
Yute flies to about two dozen little native villages from their base in the town of Bethel which, with only five thousand residents, is not much more than a village itself.
Being certain that we wanted to see our son’s new life firsthand, he was just as certain that we we wouldn’t be able to handle the extreme cold and dark of an arctic winter.
So we patiently waited for warmer weather to head up to the Last Frontier for a visit.
Bethel has the highest concentration of taxis per capita in the US, kind of hard to get a car there!
Bethel has no roads leading in or out of it — the harsh landscape is too prohibitive — so supplies and people come via jet service from Anchorage several times a day.
Much of that service is cargo that then is distributed to the tiny villages throughout the southwestern quadrant of the state by pilots like The Boy.
We arrived on the last flight of the day and met up with our son just as he was finishing his runs.
Since it was summer, and never got dark, we walked around town for awhile, and stopped for a pizza at one of the few food establishments.
It was then that we learned that even pizza is delivered by air in these parts!
Even in July, it was pretty chilly – we could only imagine what it’s like when December rolls around.
David and our captain, The Boy, head to the plane.
In the morning we booked a flight out to the westernmost, and largest, village that the airline serves, Toksook Bay.
This not only ensured that we would see the most scenery as possible; it also meant that we would be stopping in a couple of other villages along the way.
These are some of the most remote settlements anywhere in the United States.
They are completely isolated; the only way to reach them is by airplane, or sometimes boats, during the summer months.
In winter, dog sleds and snow machines can make it across the frozen marshland, but these are only practical for fairly short distances.
This means that the mail, and almost everything else that is delivered to the villages, arrives on these small aircraft.
They are truly their lifeline to the rest of the world.
After flying for nearly an hour over the soggy swampland that is the tundra when the frost has melted, we saw a small gravel landing strip perched on a slight rise above the mushy ground around it.
The Boy guided us in for a landing in Newtok and we unloaded a few supplies.
Each village has an airport agent who is responsible for cargo.
Sadly, this little settlement of about 350 people might not be around much longer.
The Ninglick River is eating away at the land, and with the permafrost melting due to warming temperatures, the village is sinking below sea level.
The elders are looking into possible relocation of the entire town.
With a little less cargo, but a new passenger aboard, we took off for our next stop, Tununak.
This lonesome outpost sits on the northwest coast of America’s fifteenth largest island, Nelson Island.
Aside from its size, the island named after nineteenth century naturalist Edward Nelson is also known for its musk ox.
After being hunted to extinction on the island in the last century, the animals have been reintroduced and are beginning to make a comeback.
Musk ox at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, one of the agencies working on their reintroduction.
On our way from Tununak to Nunakauyak, or Toksook Bay, we spotted a couple of the hairy musk ox grazing on the hills.
Since we were flying low to stay beneath the clouds, The Boy took us over them for a closer look.
Then we turned out over the Bering Sea and lined up for our landing.
We were met at the airport, which consists of a gravel runway and one small shed, by Melvin, who works as the agent for Yute Air.
He had agreed to show us around, so we climbed aboard his ATV four-wheeler, which serve as the preferred mode of transportation in the village (no roads out, who needs a car?), and bounced down into the town as The Boy flew off to his next destination.
Melvin’s adorable little brother came along for the ride.
Almost all of the nearly six hundred residents of Toksook Bay — as well as this entire area of Alaska — are Yup’ik people, and they continue to live a lifestyle with traditions that have remained unchanged for centuries.
Hunting, fishing, and gathering are still primary sources of sustenance and folks still use many of the same tools that they have for generations, such as fish drying racks, and harpoons.
Little brother shows us his slingshot prowess and can already catch fish with his hands – great skills to have!!
Our first stop made this clear, we went down by the water to the area where Melvin’s family, along with many others, smoke and dry the fish they catch.
He also showed us photographs of how he and his family hunt walrus. This hunting is allowed by the state under Alaskan laws written for the “preservation of historic or traditional Alaskan cultural practices” of her native peoples.
Each family has a space in the communal fish drying area.
The post office
Each of the villages we visited has a school, a post office, a clinic, and a small store.
We passed by all four on our tour, and Melvin was especially proud of his high school basketball program’s three straight trips to the state championship tournament.
We were getting a little hungry, and there are no restaurants in Toksook Bay (we should have thought ahead a bit – oops), so we stopped in at the store to find something for lunch.
The first thing to strike us was the prices, most of them were crazy high.
When everything has to be flown in it is definitely reflected on the price tags.
We saw a package of spaghetti for $10.49, a can of soup for $5.89, six rolls of generic toilet paper for $8.99, cheese for $14.55, and a bag of Doritos for $8.29.
Holy crap – we’d be hunting, fishing, and gathering too!
The selection was a bit limited too, so the best we could come up with was deviled ham and wheat thins. We ate it sitting on the steps in front of the shop.
After our al fresco dining experience, the need for a restroom break earned us a trip to the town jail. It turned out to be the only public building open on a Sunday afternoon.
In fact, Melvin explained that it is always left open so that people can self-incarcerate should they feel that they have strayed outside of the rules laid out by the village council.
As the day went on it began to get colder, and a bit dreary. This was a mid-July afternoon and the temperature was rapidly dropping into the forties.
This definitely got our attention while riding on the four wheeler.
Seeing that we were getting chilled, Melvin offered to have us stop by his house for a visit. We were more than happy to accept his gracious invitation.
Inside we met four generations of his family.
His mother and grandmother were busy with babies, while his wife was whipping up something in the kitchen.
Earlier Melvin had pointed out people gathering salmonberries in the fields around town, and now we were about to try them.
We were unfamiliar with salmonberries, but upon seeing them, we recognized them as similar to cloudberries which we had sampled in Newfoundland.
One of the most common ways to eat them in Alaska is in a dish called Akutaq, or as Melvin called it, Eskimo ice cream.
The berries are mixed with whipped fat, traditionally from reindeer, moose, caribou, walrus, or often seal oil, but more recently Crisco has become the lubricant of choice, and a little sugar and milk is added.
We were served small bowls before we knew the ingredients, and while not blown away – or nearly as excited about it as the kids were — we loved the opportunity to try the unique treat.
Melvin also wanted to make sure that we tried some of the dried salmon that had been on the racks we saw earlier.
Now this was more up our alley, smoky and salty, it tasted like jerky – delicious.
Plus we were still a little peckish from our light lunch.
While we were chatting, a young man carrying a package came through the door.
This meant it was time for Melvin to put back on his airline agent hat, and for us to catch a ride with him back to the airport.
Most of the homes in the village have sweat lodges.
In a few minutes we heard the drone of an approaching Cessna, so we said our thanks and good-byes to Melvin.
We took off again, this time without The Boy. Another pilot, Buggy, was at the helm.
He is a long time veteran of Yute Air, and also a Yup’ik, so he knows this area like the back of his hand.
We were joined by another passenger, which meant that we would make a stop in one more village, Chefornak, on our way.
By the time we returned to Bethel we had compiled ten takeoffs and landings on the day – but we weren’t through just yet.
We still had three more flights ahead of us to get back down to, and across the lower forty-eight.
That meant that by the time we were finished we had been through sixteen takeoffs and landings in one twenty-four hour span.
We also traveled from the very western edge of North America to the East coast and from one of America’s smallest villages to New York City.
Yikes, most flight crews have never even done that!
YOUR TURN: Have you visited a truly remote part of the world? Would you fly in a tiny plane over the tundra? Wasn’t Melvin great to show us around his village home?

If you are looking for a little companion to add to your family, there are many options out there. All dog breeds differ in many ways, temperament, size, maintenance, exercise levels needed, and how they are with children.
Smaller dogs can be a great choice if you’re looking for all the love and companionship, without losing out on your bed space. Here are the top six popular dog breeds that are relatively low in maintenance. Click here to find out more about mini pomeranian.
Short Haired Dachshund
Originally bred for hunting purposes these little four legged friends originated in Germany, where they were bred as loyal and highly instinctual hunting dogs, with a great sense of smell and detection skills. Depending on what variety you choose to get (short haired or long-haired) the short haired dachshund can be low maintenance with its lack of fur and therefore need to be groomed.
In general dachshunds are evenly tempered and can be very affectionate, it’s advisable not to leave them alone with very young children as if play gets too physical they can get snappy and vocal.
Beagle
Beagles make a great family pet due to their highly active personality and small yet sturdy frame. Originating in England in the mid 1800s, like the dachshund, the Beagle was also bred for hunting purposes, specifically for vermin and hare.
Energetic and intelligent, beagles have been a very popular companion for younger families, due to their breeding they require a lot of exercise to keep healthy and happy, so if you want a running buddy for your morning lap of the park, look no further.
French Bulldog
Sometimes referred to as a ‘Frenchie’ these small sturdy canines originated in France in the mid to late 1800s through breeding between a bulldog and local Paris ratters (think of your standard British bulldog, but smaller). Intensely loyal, these dogs love to be around their family and make great companions.
Although it has a small frame, the ‘Frenchie’ is a surprising muscular pooch that requires minimal exercise and only the occasional grooming. They are very good with children and other dogs as well.
Short Haired Chihuahua
Truly one of the smallest breeds on earth, and originating in Mexico is the intelligent chihuahua. These are very low maintenance dogs, with low grooming requirements and a short build that means short walks and the occasional game of catch should suffice for exercise.
Personality and temperament can vary with this breed. At an early stage in their development it is good to have them well socialized with other people and dogs, else they are prone to becoming very defensive and snappy when approached.
If they are, however, given attention and the right environment they can make loyal and happy companions that are great with children and mainly other smaller dogs.
Jack Russell Terrier
Formerly from England and bred in the early 18th century to aid hunters in the hunt for foxes and other small game animals, the Jack Russell Terrier has a loyal character and is highly energetic. They require a high level of exercise to keep fit and happy.
Much like the Chihuahua, these dogs can be prone to ‘small dog syndrome’ if they are inadequately socialized and not brought up around plenty of contact with other dogs, children and people. Given the right training and attention they can make perfect companions for you or a family with young children.
Bichon Frisé
Small in stature but larger than life in personality and friendliness, the Bichon Frisé like some other small dog breeds does not require huge amounts of exercise, and for those who are unfortunate to have an allergy, Bichon Frisé are hypoallergenic, but this comes at a cost. Unlike some other smaller breeds they do require more maintenance, but nothing that is not doable. Monthly clipping of nails, a brush daily and a bath every now and again, and they will stay happy and healthy.
A favorite among younger children for their fluffy and teddy bear looking coat, they are great with children if socialized well and even enjoy the occasional swim, so if you and your family have a pool, they will be sure to take a dip.
Summary
With all dog breeds be sure to research as some breeds are more affected by disease, allergies and infections than others. Each of the dog breeds above would thrive in the right environment, and are likely to make excellent additions to any family.
Fortunately, there are money management, savings, and earnings strategies that can help ensure that you can enjoy traveling and retirement to the fullest… CONTINUE READING >>
After working hard to establish a decent living for yourself and your family, you deserve to spend retirement traveling and relaxing. However, the transition to retirement requires financial stability.
While you may have set aside money during the retirement planning process for travel, it is important to manage your funds appropriately so that you can enjoy them for years to come. Fortunately, there are money management, savings, and earnings strategies that can help ensure that you can enjoy traveling and retirement to the fullest.
Create A Budget And Stick To It
Anyone that’s ever traveled before knows how difficult it can be to stay within your budget. There are so many things to see, experience, and purchase. However, if you spend all your money in one place the ability to travel can be cut short. Therefore, you must create a budget and stick to it.
In order to create a realistic budget, you need to understand what the average costs for necessary expenses like living accommodations, transportation, food, clothing, and medical care are. You’ll also want to leave a cushion to cover extracurricular activities and unexpected expenses.
Take Advantage Of Financial Tools
When it comes to applying a budget, tools from banks like ONE (a mobile bank) offer products like Pockets to help. Pockets are customizable sub-accounts that enable customers to distribute funds for use. Similar to the envelope system, you can use your ONE debit card to make purchases and complete transactions from the designated Pocket. When the balance gets low, or the money runs out, you know you’ve spent enough for the month. You can also make adjustments as needed.
Avoid The Tourist Mindset
While part of the retirement lifestyle is traveling to new destinations for pleasure, you must avoid the tourist mindset if you’re going to survive. That means you should live like a local to stretch your travel budget as far as possible. When you search for living accommodations, food, or entertainment, opt for places the locals frequently visit as they will be much less expensive.
You Can Have Fun For FREE
Before spending money on entertainment, it’s important to look for free opportunities to have fun. Believe it or not, you can do plenty of activities that won’t cost you a penny. You can attend community events like movies in the park or outdoor concerts. If you’re interested in learning more about a destination, look into free walking tours or admissions to local parks and museums. Finally, the great outdoors is your best friend when it comes to saving money. You can have a picnic, hike, ride bikes, swim, camp, fish, or simply go for a stroll and experience nature.
Always Look For Earning Opportunities
During retirement you don’t have your paycheck to rely on for consistent cash anymore, so you’ll need to develop new ways to make money. Fortunately, there are multiple ways to keep money coming in. You can rent out your house, start an online business, become an independent sales rep, or offer professional services as a freelancer.
Some retirees have found other creative ways to earn extra cash, including long-term house sitting. You can care for plants and animals, and earn money while you do it. No matter what you plan to do when you retire, financial responsibility is a must. Use these tips to help you keep your finances in order and experience the retirement you’ve always dreamed of.
