Traveling with Teens: Real Talk with an 18 Year Old
Ever wondered how to make traveling with teenagers actually enjoyable for everyone? In this episode of TravelEssary, we’re joined by our 18-year-old son, Justin, for an honest conversation about what really works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to road-tripping and vacationing with teens.
From giving them a say in the planning process to knowing when to back off and let them have some space, we cover the simple things that can make a huge difference. We chat about:
- The surprising upsides of screen time while traveling
- Why teens crave independence (and how to give it without losing connection)
- Creative ways to keep them engaged without forcing “family fun”
- How to create space for meaningful conversations, without making it awkward
Whether you’re hitting the road full-time like us or just planning your next family trip, this episode is full of practical tips and real talk from a teen who’s been there.
