If you could go anywhere with a 12-year old...

[mumyes]

...where we you go?

We've got a free long haul ticket anywhere & I've got 2 weeks off work. August.

Australia or Japan.

Japan seems popular

Depends what the 12 year old is into really.
Do they have a particular favourite thing?

How much money do you have to spend when you get there? What are their interests?

Australia.

She's keen on beach, warm, sea.
We prefer rural to urban. Enjoy exploring, discovering places. Wildlife, markets, coastal walks, would love to take in some geothermal stuff too.

Low to middle budget once we're there.

Costa Rica
Mexico
Mine loved South Africa at that age.

Japan would be great but not in August, it's too hot to do anything.

Kenya, beautiful beaches and budget safari. Trekking in the rift valley.

Fly into Nairobi , Lake Naivasha and Nakuru. Hells gate. Then a beautiful beach on the coast, Malindi or around that way north of Mombasa.
