After an exotic week in the UAE our family had a one-night pit stop in Paris before we all went our ways. Expat Girl joined her friend skiing in the French Alps, Expat Boy returned to university while I took off to Switzerland to ski with my bestie. Poor hubby got abandoned at home for a week!
Returning to dark, rainy, cold Paris was quite a geographic, climatic and cultural shift and even though we were slightly jet-lagged, we enjoyed one last family Sunday dinner before heading in different directions.
The past seven days in the UAE had felt liked weeks and even though the programme was packed with sight seeing, activities and a little shopping we decided we would plan a family adventure every year... go somewhere exploring, a place we had never been to, a country whose language we don't understand, a culture we could learn from every step of our journey.
Since our kids have turned into young adults - or maybe because of it - our family time has become very precious and we are grateful for every new experience we can enjoy together as the Expat with Kids team that travels continuosly between Italy, Spain, Switzerland and France.
However, there is so much more to discover! So, kids, where are we off to next year?
