Mom, how far away? | Tourism with children

Is it possible to travel really far with children? It turns out that often the biggest obstacle is not distance, but fear of the unknown. Anna Olej-Kobus and Joanna Nowak will talk about traveling with children to distant corners of the world: about the courage to go on the road, discovering new cultures and how such trips change the whole family.
