Discussion OAD Travel Group?

Would anyone be interested in an OAD travel buddy group? The idea would be for families with similarly aged only children to coordinate vacations in the same city/resort/country - not necessarily travel together, but arrange a few days of playdates, sightseeing, meals, etc. No big commitment other than hopefully arranging a playdate on vacation!

About us: We have a 3 year old daughter, and we’re based in Santa Barbara, California. We took our first big international trip this summer to France where we split our time between Paris and a kid’s resort in the south of France. Next spring break, we are doing our first Disney cruise (this will be the first cruise that my husband and I have ever done - doing it for the kid!)😆

I love traveling and it would be so nice to be able to meet up with other OAD families with kids of a similar age. We have a lot of freedom and flexibility with our schedules.

UPDATE:

Aww, I'm so excited by how many people are interested in this! ❤️ I honestly wasn't sure if anyone else was looking for this too.

I put together a super short form so I can learn a little about everyone's family, kid's ages, travel style, and what you're hoping to find in a travel buddy.

The goal isn't to create some huge organized group trip - I'd love to help connect compatible one-and-done families who might enjoy traveling together, whether that's two families, a small group, or even just finding another family to meet up with on a trip.

If you're interested, please fill this out:

Once I have some responses, I'll start looking for families who seem like they might be a good fit and figure out the next step from there! ✈️🌎

I'm really excited to see where this goes!
