This perfectly summarizes why we travel abroad with our kids. The language challenges and the culture have been valuable learning experiences for them. And, your point about the rental car and handling tough challenges in front of your kids is spot on. You never know what’s going to happen but how you manage those situations is a great learning experience for them.

A great post! Your kids will develop whole new sets of skills just by traveling with you...

The language immersion - I have seen in others that block people have when they are beginners get unblocked - like you said, sometimes you just have to speak the language.

And I'm glad you visited my home country, Croatia!

Thank you! I really want to spend more time in Croatia - we barely skimmed the surface.
