100 Places That Can Change Your Child's Life: From Your Backyard To The Ends Of The Earth

Kids who learn to travel will travel to learn. National Geographic Traveler Editor Keith Bellows sends you and your children globetrotting for life-changing vacations that will expand their horizons and shape their perspectives. What you won’t find are predictable itineraries and lists of landmarks and events. Instead, you’ll get evocative, slice-of-life experiences and age-appropriate ideas that illuminate place and culture.

Each chapter of 100 Places That Can Change Your Child’s Life explores a special place—from the Acropolis to Machu Picchu to the Grand Canyon—all from the perspective of insiders who see destinations through a child’s eyes. You’ll meet actor and travel writer Andrew McCarthy, who tours the suqs of Marrakech with his seven-year-old son; photographer Annie Griffiths, who shares the migration of monarch butterflies to Mexico; Tom Ritchie, who has guided children and parents to Antarctica for over 30 years; and others who are cultural treasures and storytellers.

Packed with ideas to enhance the travel experience—foods, music, films, and curated lists of kid-friendly activities and accommodations—this inspiring book is a perfect trip planner to excite children about culture and the magic of the world.
