Where To Next
“The right answer to that question is a two minute quiz, not a page. But if you would rather browse, every corner of the world is one click down.”
Take the quiz. Eight questions about your family, your dates, and what you enjoy when nobody is watching. At the end you get one destination that fits, two more worth a look, and a link straight into the guide for each. No email needed to see the answer.

How I Would Decide
Families ask me this every week. Here is the order I ask the questions back.
When can you go, and for how long. A week in February and three weeks in July are different lists. Ten days is the line where the long flights start to earn their cost.
How old is the youngest. Under five means a pool, short transfers and one base. Over ten means the Amazon, the Serengeti and the Camino are on the table.
How far are you willing to fly. Europe is overnight from the east coast. Japan is a day. Australia is a day and a half and the jet lag is real. Be honest about this one.
Beach, city, wild, or all three. Most families want all three and that is fine. Costa Rica, Portugal, Japan and South Africa each do all three in one country.
What the budget is, plainly. I quote fees up front and I do not build a trip you cannot afford. Tell me the number and I will tell you where it goes furthest.
Send me the ages, the dates, and what you are hoping this trip feels like. I will come back with two or three places that fit and what each one really costs. Trips are booked through Favorite Grampy Travels.
