I took my 75-year-old mom on a trip to 3 countries. I had to ditch my typical travel style to give her a great experience.

I took my mom on a two-week trip to multiple countries, including Montenegro. Agnes Groonwald My husband and I took my 75-year-old mom to Croatia, Montenegro, and Bosnia and Herzegovina . During the two-week trip, I had to make some adjustments to my typical travel style. Overall, though, my mom really impressed me and I was surprised by what she could handle. "I want to go to Montenegro," my mom told me over the phone. She was back home in Chicago , and I was in France, where my husband and I had moved three years earlier. It wasn't entirely surprising. Since we moved abroad, my mom has been eager to travel more. But Montenegro? The idea felt a little random, which made it all the more intriguing. Turns out she'd spotted a video of the country on Facebook, likely on one of the Polish-language pages she follows.
