Travel Glossary

Traveling Momma Says...

One of my favorite parts of traveling with kids is hearing a word we've never heard before. "Dad... what's a funicular?" "What's a chalet?" "Why do they call it shoulder season?" Every trip seems to teach us something new. 

Travel Definitions explains the words, phrases, and travel terms families discover while exploring the world. Some are used when booking flights or hotels, some describe unique places or transportation, and others help explain local customs and cultures.

Unlike a traditional dictionary, these definitions focus on helping families understand what the term means, why it matters, and where they're likely to encounter it.

Whether you're planning your next vacation, helping a curious child answer a question, or simply learning about another part of the world, we hope these travel definitions make every adventure a little more meaningful.
