Summary
I love to travel, and my co-host Stephanie loves to travel. But we get that not everybody works for themselves or has the flexibility to travel long lengths of time. So? For the next month, we're gonna share what we know about extended travel from our family's experiences, and help you make them work for a typical two-week time off work.
Will we challenge you to think outside the box? Sure. Will we guilt you into feeling like you should be someone you're not? No way. In this first episode of our four-part series, Steph and I want to inspire you with what's possible. National parks, book pilgrimages, or a nearby country, oh my!

| 0:00.0 | It's the simple show. You've got episode 117. |
| 0:07.6 | Hi, I'm Tishawksin-Writer. And I'm Stephanie Langford. And on this show, we break down big ideas. |
| 0:13.3 | And in this episode, we are starting a four-part series on making the most of your vacation time. |
| 0:18.4 | Before we begin, just a little reminder that if you haven't yet, |
| 0:21.9 | make sure you are on the email list called Five Quick Things. It's my weekly email I send out |
| 0:27.0 | every Tuesday with Five Quick Things. You can read that I've either created or enjoyed myself. |
| 0:34.2 | It includes podcast episodes, any blog posts, plus stuff from around the internet that I really liked. |
| 0:39.3 | It is meant to be read in under a minute because I hate email clutter just as much as you do. |
| 0:44.3 | And it's a great way to keep up with all Simple show episodes. So to get on that list, go to the art of simple.net slash email. |
| 0:51.5 | And you'll get the next one one the next Tuesday that rolls around. |
| 0:56.1 | Okay, Steph, we are starting a fun, new four-part series here about making the most of |
| 1:01.1 | your vacation time. |
| 1:02.1 | So this is obviously travel themed, which you and I have done before on the simple show. |
| 1:07.2 | In fact, that used to be all we podcasted about for quite a while and then we took a break from that. So let's talk a little bit about maybe a little bit of what we've already talked about and why we're doing this again. I mean, what are your thoughts on why we're tackling this topic? Well, you're right. We have talked about it quite a bit. And sometimes we've sort of delved into more of the practical stuff. We've talked a bit |
| 1:28.4 | about, you know, packing and capsule wardrobes. And we've talked about travel with kids. |
| 1:32.9 | And sometimes we've done more of the inspirational sharing some of our travel stories and |
| 1:37.1 | some of our top places, favorite foods from around the world, things like that. But what we've |
| 1:43.1 | never done is just do sort of a |
| 1:45.3 | start to finish. You can kind of just listen straight through everything series on travel. |
| 1:52.1 | And so that was kind of the point of this. And then we've taken a little bit of a different |
| 1:55.9 | angle with this one. You want me to go ahead and explain that? Yeah, go for it. Okay. So in a lot of our |
| 2:02.5 | past episodes, what we've done is talked more about our travels, which have been pretty extensive. |
