The GenerationsGo multigenerational travel niche is geared to today’s modern family, from LBGT to traditional, and to grownups 18 years and older. Our definition of “family” includes but is not restricted to biological families—rather, we see kin of all kind created by multi-generational friendships between adults of all ages.
We believe that travel, like music, unites the generations. Travel allows us to open new doors together; to share unforgettable experiences that cement our family ties; and to learn not only about the world but about ourselves. Each time we dip our toes into a new travel experience, we expand our consciousness and open our minds. And for those of us who are housebound, virtual travel allows us to explore the world as well.
GEN-GO INSPIRATION
Older generations have become close with their grownup kids in ways that are different from the relationships they had with their own parents. They’re friends as well as family and they flourish on their multi-generational energy. One thing that the different generations have in common is their desire for an authentic and enriching travel experience—whether it expands their artistic horizons; stretches their brains; challenges their athletic abilities; offers insight into different cultures; or simply affords the opportunity to relax and recharge away from the everyday grind.
Deborah Batterman (boomer, Katonah, New York) and her daughter Sara Dolin (millennial, Los Angeles) are a case in point. During the past decade, they have vacationed together in destinations ranging from New Zealand to San Francisco, and are in the the process of planning their next multi-gen adventure. Deborah and Sara reflect the voices of their generations in their insightful and entertaining mother-daughter blog, “All the small things: A mother daughter diablog.” Read it here http://deborahbatterman.com/
