If you’re wondering if it’s time to travel without the kids (which seems like a safe assumption since you clicked on this post), you’re probably also wondering how to counteract the guilt you’re feeling at even considering it as an option.

In fact, it’s that very guilt that kept me, an avid traveler, from leaving the country for eighteen years while raising my own kid.
