Meet the Workaway family that backpacked through 72 countries together
Have you wondered what it's like to go on a backpacking trip with your entire family? What about staying with another family across the globe, or exploring different places together as volunteers? This month, we're excited to introduce the Su family, who did just that and not only once, but THREE times. In total they backpacked through 72 countries including Workaways at a yurt camp in Mongolia, an NGO in Kazakhstan, a hostel in Egypt and a pomegranate farm in Israel – to name just a few!
We asked for their best tips for travelling as a family, planning a trip with five different opinions to consider and how the pandemic has affected their adventures.
