Creator's Key Takeaways

Pack the snacks. um get snacks pretty regularly. You just want to make sure they're fed because if they're fed, most of the time they can stick out whatever it is you're doing

If you only go to playgrounds with your children in foreign countries, it is still just as valuable, if not more valuable, than going to see these historic destinations

Slow down and take things at your kids' pace
