How using Excel as a family helped clear things up (Overseas Travel)
【What you will learn in this article】
“I want to travel abroad with my kids.”
“But I’m worried about flight times, safety, and whether the kids will have fun…”
“I don’t have kids, but long-haul flights are exhausting and I want to avoid them… so where should I go?”
For those people, I have compiled a comparison table of “nearby overseas travel destinations” accessible from Kansai International Airport.
Is it safe for families with children?
How long is the flight?
Is the sightseeing fun?
How are the prices?
Can adults enjoy it too?
Having a table that roughly covers these points can serve as a topic for family meetings and might be reusable in the future, so I’m sharing the table I made myself.
※Please keep in mind that this is a table I made in about 10 minutes just to talk with my wife, so please don't expect high quality...
【Target Audience】
Families considering traveling abroad with small children
People who are busy and want to avoid long-haul flights but still want to refresh
Those who are considering departing from the Kansai region (using KIX)
【Author's Background】
When I was single, I traveled freely, watching soccer in Germany and sightseeing in Italy… I traveled as I pleased.
But now I have a family with small children. That means…
A flight time of under 8 hours is the limit
Is it fun and safe for children?
Can adults also be satisfied?
And so on, there is a lot to think about.
Discussions with my wife get lively, but the conversation tends to go in circles, so I tried comparing them in a table, and it was surprisingly useful, so I’m sharing it!

This time, I shared the table I made for our family's "in-house strategy meeting."
Of course, this isn't everything, so...
