Angelina Jolie must be one of the most well-traveled ladies in the world. She is often photographed in different locations, whether it be for her humanitarian work or her acting career, or simply for a holiday with the children.
Her adopted children come from different countries from their siblings and Angelina makes sure they have a chance to connect with their native lands and to introduce the family to their countries of birth. She likes to involve all her six children in her work and her charity commitments, meaning that they are as well-traveled as their mom.
While Angelina traveled extensively when she was married to Brad Pitt, it is since her divorce that this high-profile mom has focused more on her work as she helps her family to heal from the upheaval of separation and divorce.
Whether she is traveling in a private jet or piloting a plane herself, Angelina is definitely of the mindset that travel broadens the mind. She escapes to other countries for many reasons, including research for new films, suggests The Travel. She works tirelessly for her charities, visiting refugee camps that might put many celebrities off. She enriches the lives of her children by exposing them to different cultures and ensures that there is always plenty of time for fun, be it water sports, cinema trips or a spa visit for herself.
