Global Family Travels is passionate about creating community-based, family-friendly trips that are truly meaningful, encouraging travellers of all ages to become citizens of the world and stewards of the environment. (And, fun fact: Global Family Travels’ roots began in India in 2010, and our original name is Paravati Family Travel, after the Hindu Goddess who represents positive change!)
Guided by our three travel pillars of “Learn, Serve & Immerse,” we partner with local and global non-profit partners to develop Expand-Your-Family Circle adventures that offer travellers the opportunity to connect with local people, cultures and the natural beauty of the destinations we visit. Whether it is a one-day community adventure in the Seattle area, a customized journey or a small group global adventure, our journeys feature a unique mix of cultural and educational activities, as well as community engagement to help make a positive impact on the lives of people and natural habitats where we visit.
At Global Family Travels we believe that the most powerful way to learn is through first-hand experience. We let the country and its people be your teachers and supplement your experiences with reading lists, informal discussions, and a pre-trip orientation which includes information on the culture and history of your host country, helpful words, and phrases, and cultural “do’s and don’ts”.
