Hello everyone,

During your expat experience in the USA, you may have to travel solo with your kids, either to explore your host country, to visit family and friends in your home country, or for vacation trips.
While this journey can be a great adventure, it also comes with its challenges. We therefore would like to invite you to share your insights and experiences to help fellow expats make the most of their trips with their children.

Here are a few questions to start with:

How to best prepare for traveling solo with kids?

What are the biggest challenges expat parents in the USA face when traveling solo with their kids?

What specific formalities or documents do you need to travel alone with kids (eg. parental consent for travel, birth certificate, etc.)?

What are your tips to smooth the journey with kids?

Share your experiences, tips and anecdotes to help fellow expats.

Thank you for your contribution.

Traveling solo with kids can definitely be a unique adventure. If you’re planning a trip to Florida, I’d recommend checking out https://orlandovacation.com/disney-world-hotel-packages for family friendly hotel options in Orlando. They’ve got some helpful resources for making a stay with kids easier. Also, another spot worth considering is https://www.sunsetranch-texas.com Texas if you’re exploring Texas—it’s great for outdoor family activities. Hope that helps, and happy travels!
