Welcome to Travelog, the podcast of Konday Nass Traveler.

0:12.0

I'm Laura Redmond, Summing, for Brad Brickman, and we are here at Conday headquarters

0:17.0

at One World Trade Center in New York City.

0:19.0

And we have a kind of trifect of supermoms,

0:22.4

or milts here today. We've got editor-in-chief, Pilar Guzman, features director Alex Postman,

0:29.2

and deputy editor Lauren DeCarlo. And we're here to talk about something that's very close to our

0:34.3

hearts, very personal, it's what we do, and we are not here, and it's traveling with our

0:38.1

And so, you know, this was one of these things where we just, we wanted to take stock and we were all at different stages of our parenting life cycles.

1:35.4

And two of us have older kids and two of us have younger kids.

1:39.0

And I think it's unimaginable during some of those early days that you would actually strap a baby on your back and, you know, climb Machu Picchu or or even just take a flight period.

1:49.0

So that was sort of, you know, the beginning and just the poignancy of this notion that you only have 18 summers.
