Summary

The next four episodes, starting with this one, will be an extended conversation on extended travel with kids. My friend Stephanie Langford and I have both taken round-the-world trips with our clan when they were (are) young ages, and our family's paths even crossed for six weeks last spring in southern Europe. We'll hash out stuff like what we packed, how we decided where to go, how we handled worldschooling, and yep, the things that were miserable. We talk about how we handled our own work on the go, the things that made us stronger as families, and ultimately, why we're both itching to do another big trip before our oldest children leave the nest. This first episode is an intro to the idea, where we answer the question we both get frequently: Why travel in such a big way while the kids are so little? Head here for the show notes! Also, big thanks to this episode's sponsor, Around the World Stories. They create original audio stories about the adventures of children from other cultures, providing fun, memorable and culturally authentic stories that help develop a child's interest in the broader world. We love 'em!

0:36.1	That's my friend Stephanie Langford.
0:40.4	She is a little crazy like me because she and her husband took around the world trip with her kids as well. In fact, she's a little bit nuttier than me
0:45.3	because she went with an extra kid. She went with four. And that extra kid was a baby,
0:51.2	like 11 months old. So she dealt with diapers and strollers and all that other baby
0:56.8	stuff while traveling around the world with three other kids, homeschooling them, and running a
1:04.1	business with her husband, Ryan. I know a little bit about that too, as my family and I did

1:11.7	kids and we world schooled as well and we ran businesses so we are both cut from the same
1:18.1	piece of crazy fabric and we thought it'd be really fun to sit down and talk it all out we could
1:23.4	ask the two of us all the time about travel both tips and tricks all the way the way to the bigger philosophical of like, why go with kids? And so we thought, you know what, let's just hash
1:32.5	this all out. It became so long that, and yet so good, that we thought, let's just make this
