Practical advice and inspiration to help you prepare for your holiday
A California road trip is iconic, especially one chock full of Original Travel insider tips and activities. Over the course of several weeks you'll have the freedom to take to the road for as long or little as you like, stopping whenever someone spots a national park ripe for tree-climbing (read: Big Sur), or beach break perfect for a surf lesson (say hello to Santa Barbara). And whether you crave the freedom to roam in a motorhome, or prefer hotels each night, we can organise it all.
The captivating culture of the Far East makes for a great living classroom for children to learn about food, religion, traditions and more. Visit crumbling temples filled with statues of otherworldly creatures and fall for the sights, sounds and smells of cosmopolitan cities before visiting mountain villages and getting messy making traditional dishes in kitchens across Vietnam and Cambodia.
With desert, mountains and coast to explore, Oman is a dream family sabbatical destination. Channel your little monkeys' energy into rock climbing in the Hajar Mountains, spotting dolphins on boat trips, 'defending' sandcastle-like forts and canyoning through dramatic wadis (river valleys). Then, for some real bonding time, journey off the beaten path to go glamping in the Empty Quarter, home to vast sand dunes, sunset camel rides and nobody else for miles around.
Messing about on boats is a wonderful way for families to bond. Sail between tiny fishing villages and harbourside towns, drop anchor and leap into the water whenever you find an inviting spot and generally spend all day soaking up the sun on deck and playing endless games. A few weeks sailing around these beautiful Greek islands is the perfect introduction to life on the high seas for children as they muck-in, master their ports and starboards and generally learn to sail.
It's fairly easy in our technological age to forget the joys of the great outdoors. To jog your memory, travel to Kenya's remote Laikipia region, the perfect setting for plenty of al fresco adventures. Dedicate a week here and get back to nature on a big game safari, meet local Samburu and Maasai tribes, make the most of outdoorsy pursuits such as rafting, riding or quad-biking, and learn ancestral skills like animal tracking and navigating by the stars.
