Why Choose Us
Expert Guidance
This is not your average travel guide. Parents want their kids to learn about the world and its cultures too.
Educate young minds
about culture & connection.
Educating kids to become travel-savvy
global citizens is our mission.
Educating young minds about other cultures and encouraging families to experience it is a worthy goal. Food, books, theatre, music, art, language, and fashion are so different across European country borders. We want kids to get excited about the foods to try and point out books and movies they can watch in English before they go to get a sense of the what to expect.
We've been there, and lived it.
We've lived in several cultures in Europe.
We know.
After having lived and worked in Europe for over 12 years in 6 different countries, we learned a lot about the differences in regional cultures. Kids guidebooks out there just don't show that perspective. You won't meet too many people who have lived and worked three, so this is your opportunity to share first-hand cultural knowledge geared toward kids! Join Kyle Matson and her kids on a journey throughout Europe – and get an education at the same time.
Encouraging kids to try simple language words and phrases.
Introduce them to the world of people speaking other languages.
In their short lives, kids 8-12 typically have not experienced other people speaking unique languages. Our book teaches kids about the many languages of Europe and how to communicate with the people you meet while on holiday. Parlez-vous Anglais?
Teaching kids to participate in trip planning.
Give them the knowledge to express themselves.
Rather than plan the whole trip yourself, wouldn't it be fun to show kids what there is to do and hear from them what is of interest? After they read the about culture and go through a suggested tour, the 3-page trip planner helps kids understand the nuances of planning like taking time for lunch, figuring out how you'll get from one place to the. next using public transportation!
