Overcoming obstacles, discovering beauty, and opening our minds and hearts-these are the real travel goals when we pack our bags. To do so, we leave home and set out into the unknown. We all, big and small, need that magic of discovery from time to time, we want to throw ourselves into pure life.

Family Adventures is an inspiration for all families who want to dream about it together when planning their next trip. Whether it's a weekend getaway or a trip around the world, the 27 stories from the lives of moms and dads who brave the vagaries of train delays, lost luggage, bears outside the apartment, and emotional meltdowns confirm that priceless riches await on any trip with kids, despite the hardships. After all, what better thing to give our children as they embark on life's journey than the confidence in themselves gained through travel?

At the same time, the American writer Reif Larsen asks himself in his essay "Would we ever travel abroad again? Was it even still justifiable to travel in this increasingly warm, pandemic-ridden world?" But how would his sons grow up if they never knew more than the path to the river near their home in Upstate New York? Was travel necessary to develop empathy, understanding and perspective? One can be on the road without traveling. But can one travel without being on the road?

Maybe it's time to reinvent travel together with our children?

From spontaneous day trips from Berlin to the Brandenburg Forest, to a journey back to our roots in Catalonia, to a two-year tour of five around the globe with little luggage but many new friendships, to a family life between Finland and Japan - Family Adventures is a plea to see the world with open, childlike eyes and to marvel.
