How to holiday with teenagers (honestly, it can be fun!)

When did browsing for your family become a stress rather than pleasure? When your little cherubs turned into turbulent teens, of course. Not as easily contented as when they were tots, and they have much more varied tastes. But family holidays can be as happy now as they ever were, or even better.

It goes without saying that including your teens in the planning is pretty much essential if you’re going to have great holidays. In fact, they might even have better ideas than you. Let’s face it, they’re probably more global in their outlook, than most adults reading this, as well as internet savvy – and they will likely have some set ideas about holidays, at least about what they don’t want to do!
