Given
our age and financial incapability, most of our travels have been with our
families. There are things we couldn’t do like walk into MORE stores (HAHAHA!)
and go see some more places. Don’t get me wrong. It is pleasurable to travel
with your father and brothers because they provide you with safety but more
often than not, you hold back a little from doing more walking and exploring
because they would complain about sore feet from walking and exhaustion. And
the thing I hate the most…they call it a day earlier than usual.
Travelling
solo is an option for those who want to discover more of themselves as they
discover the world but safety is an important factor as well when considering a
trip. Travelling is more fun when you are with people whom you share your
interest and excitement with and are more likely thinking the same as what you
are thinking.
As
girls’ getaway travelling together gets more popular nowadays, I think doing a
multi-generation women’s travel should be considered more. Mother – daughter
travel is ordinary and frequent but how about grandmothers and granddaughters,
aunts and nieces travelling together? I think it is important to travel with
women of different age ranges because your perspectives in life are different
so you learn from each other. Plus, wouldn't it be nice to travel with women
who play such an important role in your life aside from your Mom?

Travelling
in different places helps the older generation to see how competent and ready
the younger ones are in the world and the younger generation would see that the
elders do not always live by the rules, that sometimes for fun, they break them
too!
My
Mediterranean cruise experience was just superb because I got to travel with my
Mama and Aunt Minnette. The group we travelled with keeps on noticing how we
catch each others’ back all throughout the trip. Role reversal is applicable in
this kind of travelling and having to experience it is just priceless. Experiences
like Aunt does the paying, Mama does the map reading while I do the price
haggling with cabs or souvenir vendors. Also, conversations we had were also
more intimate considering no men were around. Freedom to talk about fashion,
shopping, food and oh God forbid, cute men without the men to tease us or
regulate us is just endless and unimaginable!

I
think the different life experiences each one of us has been through is
important because we enlighten and change perspectives of each other in a
manner where we did it unconsciously because we were all out there in a place
in this planet we were all unfamiliar with.
