What do you need to remember traveling with parents?

It’s great if your parents are fit, cheerful and sharing your interests like a go riding on ostriches or go to an immersive staging about coronavirus. But it happens that different generations have different interests.

Therefore, we know what you need to be prepared for if you decide to take mom and dad to the resort.

Insurance for seniors will be more expensive

For elders, as well as for children, the probability of an accident is statistically higher. Hence there is a natural increase in prices. Thank progress, you can buy insurance online.

The relief matters

Even if your parents for the past 20 years was climbing, make allowances for their age. Try to avoid the stairs. No doubt, that parents are young at heart, but you all travel to chill, not to get tired.

Need to take medicine seriously

If your parent takes life-saving drug on a regular basis you need to follow some rules: 1) Recipes for them should be translated into national language of the country you go 2) Have a separate first-aid kit case for the parent to quickly find the right medicine 3) Take on board required amount of meds for parent needs if the flight will be delayed. And only in original packing!

Take care of comfortable arrival.

A long flight is difficult for the elderly: pressure drops, time zones change, etc. Book a transfer by i’way, then you don’t need to look for a taxi at a reasonable price all over the airport.

You shouldn’t become a nanny

Although the roles change and with age children care about their parents more than vice versa, you need control yourself. Even in caring. Remember how you felt when you were overly patronized! Caring is not tantamount to custody.

... as well as your parents

If you travel with all three generations of your family, don’t “push” offsprings to grandparents. They have the right to relax, just like you.

“Let’s decide in progress” is a bad strategy

If your main goal is sightseeing, settle an issue amicably what places you want to visit together, and where you can take a walk alone. So you can avoid unnecessary resentment.

Spain, but make it different: what to see in Barcelona?

Football, Mediterranean, Antoni Gaudi...what else is there in Barcelona? If you’re reading this, the chances are you’re way past googling the weather forecasts for the dates of your stay, and you’re digging into the topic to find something a little bit more out-of-the-way. We won’t disappoint you, promise! Here are our picks for places to see and visit in one of Spain’s most iconic cities: «Bostik Murals» — Sprayed-on industrial site /urban art museum

Why confine the creative energy by exhibition halls if the art can take over the museum grounds and street walls? This urban art museum is located at the former industrial site. You may find all sorts of things here — from murals of Barcelona street artists to exhibits of modern art pieces. During weekends, there’s a flea market surrounded by numerous colorful street food trucks.

«Marsella» — a 1930-ties hipster hot-spot

This bar is like a time machine. You can almost see Dali and Picasso getting wasted in the corner, dissing their ex’s... And this place is still a hit today, filled with bohemian youngsters, journalists and some well -and lesser-known poets.

What to try here? Same as in the previous century, the main drink for this bar is absinthe (served here with sugar). It does bring out an animal in you, so, when coming to Marsella, come with a friend — to keep an eye on you.

Opening hours Daily from 18:00 till 02:00.

Prices 1 absinthe shot is 5,20 €

If you are a fan of cactuses and succulents (and can not afford a trip to Mexico), then this place is a must. This botanical garden houses over 800 types of desert and tropical plants from all over the world. Cactuses are especially cool: they got them in all shapes, from tiny ones to two-story building-sized giants. You may take your kids with you, too, provided that they understand that cactuses are fun to watch, but not to touch.

The Sun here has no mercy — do not forget your hat.
