97- Mia Moran from Plan Simple Meals

Mia and her family are living in Boston, in a fast-paced world. So much of work and life is staring at a computer screen- a never ending cycle making it hard to step back for a bit. Making is hard to take a break. Sound familiar?

The idea of "taking a break" has been slowly evolving in their house and Mia wanted it to work out to be their reality.

Where We Roam- After a series of life events, Scott and Emily kinda felt they were being pushed toward traveling in a big way. They came up with the idea to spend 12 months in 12 countries, wanting to live like a native of that country. Curious to explore the world and learn what it would be like to live in the country and not just "tour" it. They said it was enlightening to see how others live and enjoy the small details in everyday life while living out of 36 Liter backpacks. However, right before they left on the trip they got pregnant. So they pushed off the trip just until after the baby was born and then head out!! They relied hugely on Airline Miles and ending up flying all their major flights with points they had earned

South Asia Adventure-

This episode if very exciting for us....We had our first guest doing a SECOND interview! Trina Shultz, who took a trip with her kids to Costa Rica back in Episode 36, just got back from a huge trip for 3 months over to SouthEast Asia!

Trina shares so much about their travels throughout Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. Traveling with only their backpacks full of gear, they rode lots of local transportation to get around which made for some exciting experiences! Between long train rides, border crossings and an elephant sanctuary, this trip turned out to have plenty of adventure along the way.

The Life Enhancers - The Manuel Family are on a mission to embrace living life differently and enhance lives along the way. Realizing that time is something they couldn't get more of, they took a hard look at their finances and decided to work with what income was constant. And travel how they could with those finances! So they traded in the "traditional" life, left their jobs, gave away most of their stuff and decided to pack up the SUV and head out on a roadtrip!

Gillis Family RV Adventure!

This week we are joined by some great friends for our first ever LIVE interview! All of us in the same room! It was great connecting with the Gillis family as they recently sold all their possessions, and left the comforts of home and into a 37' RV trailer and an open ended adventure.

We were in Colorado Springs visiting Maggie and Josh, when our friends Jared and Kris happened to be wandering through Colorado just starting out their RV trip. They were kind enough to even help us with some house projects and we had a chance to sit down and record their story.

Dreams into Goals!

That's the message you need to take from this week's episode: no excuses!

Here's a family who didn't wait for years off, the best equipment, the best timing, or the most experience. They just saw an opportunity, and took it.

Listen as Mariana tells us about her bike adventures of 400 miles across Canada to visit family and how her and husband took 3 kids, ages: 2,4, & 6 along for the ride.

She dives into how they prepared (less than you think!) and some great lessons learned from "under-preparing" It's full of fantastic stories! What a boost of confidence for these kids as they've already tackled something huge!
