If you're dreaming of taking your kids on an adventure to one of the most popular cities in the US or Europe, you need to listen to today's show!

Catherine is the author of Scavenger Hunt Adventures, a book series which act as guidebooks for kids. They make the cities come alive with activities to get kids interested in the history and culture of some of the most amazing sites in the world!

Joining us this week is Tamara from We 3 Travel, a blog about balancing travel with the rest of life, work and living in community! 

She tells us about some of the amazing adventures they've been able to take with their daughter, age 10, and how travel enriches life & broadens perspectives.

Today we dive into a topic that I know will hit a chord with a LOT of our listeners. How to balance community with the dream to travel the world?

Our guest today is Magdalena, and she tells us how her family: lives frugally in San Diego, and how they manage several trips per year, internationally, and she is a stay-at-home-mom! So, she tells us how they balance it all and manage to stay plugged into a 'home base' as well.

Hey Adventurers! This week we are joined by Sasha Forbes, who loves traveling with her 6 year old Maya! They were able to make a quick getaway to Egypt, just the two of them, and had an amazing time exploring!

Sasha took some time to chat with us about their trip, what they learned, and some great tips for planning a trip with kids!

This week is not so much about family travel, but family living abroad. We are joined by Jennifer and Brandon Pearce and they dive in to what living abroad has meant for them personally. 

They like to travel slowly, and really connect with other people on their journey, it's definitely not about checking the boxes! 

We had a great chat about how their perspectives have changed through traveling, and how the think it's helped their kids grow in confidence.  

I love this family's outlook on life. Kathrin was so fun to talk to about how they have been able to do some amazing adventures on their travels. 

It's really what this show is all about, grabbing an opportunity, and making some incredible memories as a family. Really sieving the moment and living for today!

Today we take a little detour from the norm: Emma, our 14 year old, helps with interviewing Gordon and Lillian from the Web Page: Turtle Tells.

Gordon, 12 and Lillian, 10, with their parents, left home in the spring of 2013 on an open-ended RV tour of the 50 U.S. states.

We caught up with them while they were in Florida, and they took some time to tell us their story.

In this episode, Pat Shulte from Bumfuzzle pops by to chat about travel, family, life, and life from the road.

Pat and Ali have been traveling for over 10 years! They have 2 kids, and are now traveling by vintage Dodge motorhome, and I caught up with them right before they headed south of the border, into Mexico.

This week we are joined by Barbara from "Ants in our Pants" Her and husband Harry, are from Germany, but because of their business based in Mauritius, they are able to travel all over the world!

She tells us the details about traveling with two small children to some very remote places.....this conversation took place while they were in Equador, preparing for a trip to the Galapagos Islands, before their annual return to Germany.

I love the tagline on the Goodell's website "We're taking the Scenic Route"  What a perfect outlook to have when talking about family travel.

Life is meant to be savored, and enjoyed, and liveed every day to the fullest!
