To avoid conflicts and causes of arguments, make sure that you ask the teeners first about your plan. If you do this, they can suggest places where they want to go. Take note of the places or destinations that they have mentioned and conduct as simple research. List down the top three possible options and let them decide on it.
2. Never force them to go to a place that they don’t like. Parents should realize that teeners are starting to crave for independence.

3. Always be prepared. Wherever you go for an adventure vacation, make sure that you are well prepared. Some of the things that you should plan ahead is the time and length of your stay in a specific place, how to get there, the available accommodation and places where you can stay, the availability of basic travel necessities, the food available in case the teeners don’t like the local food, the activities that you can do, the places that you should not miss to visit, and of course, your budget.
Once you have taken consideration to all of those things that are mentioned, you can now start making your itinerary and include the purpose of your travel. You can even start packing for your adventure vacation once these things are settled.
