The Magic of Unplanned Moments in Family Travel

Some of the best parts of a family trip aren’t on the itinerary.

They’re the small, unexpected moments.

The ones that happen between destinations, when you take a wrong turn or stop for ice cream just because it feels right.

That’s the idea behind our newest Substack post:

In it, we explore why spontaneity matters when you’re exploring the world together. Family travel isn’t just about checking off sights.

It’s about laughter, discovery, and those perfectly imperfect experiences that become the stories you tell for years.

At DuckAbroad, we believe every journey tells a story.

Our app helps families record the places they visit, collect digital stickers, and turn real-life adventures into lasting memories.

But what makes those memories shine are the unplanned moments — the ones no app or guidebook can predict.

So next time you’re on the road, leave a little space in your schedule.

Let your kids pick the next stop. Wander off the main path. You never know what memories you’ll find waiting there.
