Often preoccupied with daily chores and responsibilities, parents and children often don't spend much time together. Travel is an opportunity to get together and strengthen ties.
When the last one keeps telling me about the next nautical leisure activities by the sea that he covets, or when the teenager complains of never having gone on a plane, I no longer have a choice. A little trip is in order next summer. The only downside is that holidays are expensive, especially for large families like mine. And given the cost of living, with the usual charges and the many unforeseen events, it is very difficult for me to save enough to finance the trip.
I was advised to turn to credit subscription. Indeed, in the form of a personal loan, a credit institution offers me to finance part or all of my next family vacation. A carefully considered decision, since I had to take into account many parameters. What are my other outstanding loans? Will I be able to honor my monthly payments? What is the rate charged by the establishment?
Once the travel budget has been determined and the credit granted, the next step is the choice of the destination. As far as we are concerned, all the members of the family have agreed on a stay by the sea. After hesitating for a long time between Portugal and Spain, we decided to go to Estartit. Bordering the Mediterranean, this seaside resort is located in the northeast of Catalonia. This holiday resort is particularly renowned for its facilities and tourist infrastructure ideally suited to family stays.
Not into the beach? Opt for themed camping. Fortunately, there is no shortage of camping destinations, both in France and in other European countries. So, if you don't plan to leave France, let yourself be tempted by a campsite in the Jura or in Provence Alpes Côte d'Azur. There is no shortage of natural sites in these regions.
Even if the budget allocated to family travel is limited, there is no question of restricting yourself or limiting the activities of children. To leave us a lot of freedom in the choice of our holiday leisure, I decided to go hunting for good deals. Rather than booking our plane tickets in advance for example, I will buy them at the last minute, using flight comparators.
Moreover, as the biggest expense goes to accommodation, I favor the rental of apartments or vacation homes between individuals. I also considered opting for a rental with several people, if as planned, a couple of friends decide to accompany us. Better, I even registered on a home exchange site. I thus hope that, by the arrival of the summer period, I will be able to get in touch with a Spanish family who plans to stay in France.
