May is one of the best times to visit Austin, with warm (but not sweltering) temperatures, lush greenery and plenty of sunshine before the summer heat and humidity roll in. Enjoy outdoor adventures like paddleboarding on Lady Bird Lake, hiking the Greenbelt or cooling off at Barton Springs. The city buzzes with energy thanks to events like the Pecan Street Festival, where you’ll find live music, local art and some of Austin’s best street food.

A little preparation can go a long way in ensuring your trip goes smoothly. Here are a few ways to make international travel easier for the whole family. Whenever possible, try to book nonstop flights to avoid the stress of rushing through unfamiliar airports with kids in tow. If a layover is unavoidable, look for one that’s long enough to allow your family time to eat, stretch and reset between flights. A longer layover is also a helpful buffer in case of delays. Hungry kids can get cranky quickly, especially during long travel days or delays. Pack a variety of easy, mess-free snacks like granola bars, crackers or dried fruit to keep everyone content between meals. Having familiar snacks on hand can also be a lifesaver if your child is a picky eater or not a fan of airplane or foreign food. Jet lag can hit kids hard, especially after long international flights. Plan for a low-key day when you first arrive so everyone has time to adjust to the new schedule. A flexible day with minimal plans allows kids to catch up on sleep and settle in before diving into sightseeing. Getting kids involved in the planning process can make them more excited and engaged during the trip. Let them choose an activity, museum or restaurant. This gives them a sense of ownership and something to look forward to. Whether your family loves snow-capped mountains, historic cities, or sunny coastlines, these destinations offer some of the most fun vacations for kids worldwide. If one of these places feels like the perfect spot to return to year after year, make it your family’s home away from home. With Pacaso, you can co-own a luxury vacation home in your favorite international destination, creating a space for lasting memories without the full-time responsibility of ownership.
