Plan Family Travels that Educate and Inspire!

Welcome to CosmosMariners.com, where my love of traveling with family and my love of life-long learning combine into one amazingly nerdy quest to explore the world.

Bottom line: travel teaches acceptance, wonder, and flexibility. It makes you realize something new about yourself, about the world, about the people traveling with you.

I think that everyone should travel as much as they possibly can in the way that inspires each person the most.

Whatever your budget allows you to do, make it happen. Cultural travel can occur in your hometown: visit a local historical home, take in a play at the community theatre, or read something by a regional author.

On our traveling family blog, you’ll get all of that from across the globe, so you plan big and small family travels.

So, what are you waiting for? Let's start planning something great!
