Traveling with family is one of the most enjoyable things.
Can refer to immediate family (parents, children) or extended family (grandparents, cousins, etc.).
In Korean, '가족' can be used to refer to both immediate and extended family members. For immediate family, you might also hear '가정' (household) in some contexts.
When referring to someone else's family, it's polite to use '가족' rather than more specific terms like '부모님' (parents) unless you have a close relationship.
From 가(家, 'house') + 족(族, 'clan' or 'tribe')
Often used in both formal and informal contexts. Can be used to refer to one's own family or someone else's family.
