In this episode of TravelEssary, we share how families can keep the joy of travel alive even during the busy back-to-school season. Just because schedules get packed with homework, sports, and activities doesn’t mean the adventure has to stop!

We talk about practical tips for family adventures during the school year, including:

• Embracing micro-adventures like local day trips, short hikes, and weekend getaways.
• Finding creative ways to bring the travel mindset home through global meals, travel-inspired movie nights, and pen pal connections.
• Balancing school routines with meaningful family experiences that spark curiosity and keep kids excited about exploring the world around them.

Whether you’re a full-time traveler, RV family, or just looking to make everyday life feel more adventurous, this episode will inspire you to see opportunities for exploration all year long.

Tune in to discover how to nurture a spirit of adventure even when travel slows down, and how to make memories that last well beyond the school season.
