Mother-Daughter Bonds
Kelsey and Christy have always been close, but living in an RV for 6 years gave them a special bond that has lasted through the years. They both love to travel and have been on many adventures, from traveling through Europe to van life-ing around the country (wayyy before it was cool!).
Today, they still go on many adventures, including this month-long road trip. Back in the day, Kelsey would tag along when her dad went to conferences. Now, Christy tags along to conferences with Kelsey!
Advice for a Mother-Daughter Road Trip
- Communicate quickly to solve problems and diffuse tension.
- Be considerate of each other’s needs.
- Give space or quiet time when needed.
- Keep plenty of snacks on hand in case anyone gets cranky.
- Discuss what “must-see” places and “must-do” activities you both have on your trip. Make time to do a mixture of both to make everyone happy.
- Be present in the moment. This time together is very special.
