I don't like to take the same trip twice. I made an exception to bring my kids to the Galápagos Islands.
I broke my biggest travel rule to take my kids somewhere I couldn't forget.
Jamie Davis Smith, a globetrotting reporter, had a rule against revisiting the same place twice. However, she made an exception to bring her children to the Galápagos Islands. The author, who first visited the Galápagos as a young, broke student in Ecuador, was captivated by the unique wildlife and found herself longing to share that experience with her own children.
Although initially hesitant, she booked a voyage with HX Expedition, an expedition cruise line known for its kid-friendly activities. The author and her family enjoyed snorkeling with sharks and sea lions, exploring the islands, and learning about the environment and the delicate balance between humans and wildlife. They were particularly thrilled to engage with their children, as they asked questions about the animals and the ecosystem.
The author is pleased that making an exception to her travel rule allowed her to share her love for adventure with her children, and she hopes that the Galápagos Islands made a lasting impact on them, just as it had on her.
