Episode Description
Are family holidays starting to feel a little… surface-level?
In this episode of the Family Holiday Destinations podcast, Jessica sits down with Emily Mikus, Partnerships Director at G Adventures, to explore what “travelling with purpose” really means and how National Geographic Family Journeys are helping families experience the world in a deeper, more meaningful way.
Together, we unpack:
- What makes National Geographic Family Journeys with G Adventures different from a standard family holiday
- How storytelling, science and conservation show up in real, hands-on ways
- Why small-group travel can remove the mental load from parents
- How these journeys create a genuine positive impact
- And what families often take home, beyond souvenirs
Plus in this episode’s news segment:
- A brand-new family-friendly resort opens on the Murray River in Mildura
- Singapore’s newest immersive attractions
- And how you could win a year travelling Australia with BIG4
If you’ve ever thought, “We’ll do meaningful travel when the kids are older…” - this episode might gently challenge that.
Because the best time to build shared memories is sooner, not someday.
