It's the Simple Show. You've got episode 24.

Hey, I'm Tish Oxen Rider, and you're listening to The Simple Show, where we discuss the many ideas of unconventional living.

I'm a family-oriented writer, traveler, and entrepreneur.

And you can follow me on Twitter

at Tish.

That's Tsh, on Instagram at Tish Oxen Rider, or find the blog at the art of simple.net.

The sponsor for this episode is Plan to Eat, the online menu planning service I personally use

and love.

It helps me organize recipes, plan menus, and compile shopping lists

with an intuitive drag-and-drop system. It's a fantastic company. Check them out at the

art of simple.net slash meal plan. If you listen to the last episode, number 23, you heard the start

of a series about the art of work with my friend Anne Bogle. We'll get back to that in upcoming

future episodes, but I still wanted to give you some other conversations with friends.

So my guest today is Marla Taviano, an otherwise average wife and mom who recently moved her

entire family to Cambodia. She and her husband Gabe have three older daughters, and after learning about the atrocities of the sex trade industry there, they sold everything and moved there to play a small part in helping eradicate that disease.

They do a beautiful job of partnering with locals and following their lead.

In this conversation, we talk about the craziness of language learning, cross-cultural adjustment,

eating questionable food, unschooling, and of course, traveling with kids, one of my favorite

topics. Marla is an inspiration, and after talking with her, I was ready to strap on my backpack

again. Before we get going, I want to let you know of a great way to find out whenever there's
