Meet the management.

Real people. Completely made-up job titles.

01 / IT DEPARTMENT

Adam

Uncle & technical support

Can troubleshoot a laptop. About to troubleshoot four adults choosing a restaurant.

“Have you tried turning the holiday off and on?”
02 / LOGISTICS

Tofi

Dad & expedition manager

Responsible for getting everyone from A to B. Subject to the boss approving B.

Reports directly to a three-year-old.
03 / OPERATIONS

Reka

Mum & chief contingency officer

In our imaginary org chart, she holds the snacks. This makes her the most powerful adult.

One bag. Approximately 400 solutions.
04 / EXECUTIVE BOARD

Rebus

Age 3 · Supreme commander

No meetings. No emails. Just a firm vision involving playgrounds, snacks and being carried.

Small shoes. Enormous authority.
05 / INDEPENDENT OBSERVER

Amanda

46 & voluntarily joining this

Chose to travel with this family. We admire her courage and await her documentary.

“I thought this was a city break.”
An optimistic proposal

A plan. Until the boss objects.

A playful suggested programme, with plenty of room for snack negotiations. Nothing booked.

Tools for international relations

The survival kit.

For when the itinerary meets reality.

Adam’s Spanish department

Una mesa para cinco, por favor.

A table for five, please. The smallest guest is in charge.
Break in case of grumpiness

The churro emergency button.

Lost? Tired? Restaurant debate entering its third hour? Activate the official unofficial recovery protocol.

Terms of very limited cooperation

The tiny boss’s house rules.

01. Snacks count as infrastructure.

A palace is lovely. A palace visited after a snack is significantly lovelier.

02. All distances are negotiable.

“Just a short walk” is an adult opinion. The boss reserves the right to request a chauffeur.

03. Make room for the good bits.

A slow lunch. A silly photo. A park bench. Madrid will still be there after the ice cream.
