Summary

Going anywhere this year? Co-host Stephanie is planning another big trip for her family this year, whereas Tsh... is mostly staying put. Womp womp. But there's good to be had in keeping travels rather close, and in this episode, they talk about both. Stephanie shares the practicals on the pre-trip side of things—how she researches flights, guesthouses, and itineraries as she does exactly that for their family's travels this spring. Tsh talks about small, simple ways she plans to incorporate a global spirit at home, as they focus more on renovations than strapping on backpacks.

0:00.0	It's the Simple Show. You've got episode 54.
0:05.0	Hi, I'm Tish Oxenwriter and on The Simple Show. We talk about books, travel, and life at home. In this episode, I am joined by my co-host Stephanie Langford. Hey, Stephanie. Hey, Tish. How's it going? Great. Tell us who you are and what you do. Well, I'm an entrepreneur and a writer and a mom of five, and I live in Ottawa, Canada.
0:23.9	You can find me online at entrefamily.com.
0:27.2	And I'm a writer and mom living in central Texas, and I'm online at theartofsimple.net.
0:32.5	This is a travel episode, so we're going to talk about turning your travel dreams into reality, what it
0:38.5	looks like for us to turn our ideas into actual bona fide trips instead of just daydreams.
0:43.6	We're also going to talk about what we do when we wish we could travel, but instead we're
0:48.8	staying at home. How to keep that wanderlust alive without it driving us crazy.
0:56.7	And Stephanie, that's actually what I've been thinking about in preparation for this talk. I'm a little nervous about you making
1:00.9	me crazy jealous because this year, the start of 2017, you've actually got a trip on the
1:08.1	horizon, whereas I don't. So let's talk a little bit about your trip. What are you
1:12.4	planning? Well, we have finally decided that we're going to get back out there because we didn't
1:17.5	travel. Okay, we did travel. We did North American travel. We did a lot of road trips last year,
1:22.9	but we did not go anywhere overseas other than that trip that you and I took to Italy for the writer's retreat.
1:30.1	So we've just been getting like itchy.
1:33.2	We're like we've got to get back out there.
1:34.9	And so we're going to be leaving in early March 2017.
1:39.3	And we're going to be on the road for about three to three and a half months coming home sometime in June.
1:43.8	And we are going to explore Central America half months coming home sometime in June. And we are
1:44.6	going to explore Central America. That is on my bucket list, on our bucket list. We did not hit up
1:50.8	any of Latin America on our trip, even though we had planned to. We had to make a change of plans
