Family Adventure Podcast with Erik Hemingway

Today we are joined by the Kortman's who tell us of their amazing experiences trotting the globe with 4 children. Like many couples, Paul and Becky traveled before they 'settled down' and started their family.

But the pull of the road being what it is, and the suburban life sometimes being very unfulfilling, they decided to dust off the idea of family travel even after they had kids, and as the idea grew, they ended up selling everything and heading out on an adventure! Our kind of people!

Thanks Kortmans and enjoy this weeks episode!

This week, we are thrilled to have the Morgan's on the show,  Jarred and Irirangi (pronounced Eddy), after a tramatic family experience, decided life was too short to be taken for granted. They pulled up stakes in Australia, and hit the road for a year....or more?

We caught up with them in Bangkok, Thailand before they headed to the European leg of their adventure.

Listen as we tackle: new homeschoolers, traveling for months with 2 changes of clothes, and living on a few bucks a day.

Good stuff.

This episode wraps up the Q & A series (for now) but a lot of people have really liked it and written in, so we're going to think more seriously about adding it as a weekly feature. 

If you need a 'nudge' to get traveling, hopefully this show will get you thinking in the right direction. Life is short, and we don't know what's around the corner. Better to grab it with both hands and live it. Don't live with regrets, don't live with fear. Go. Travel. Be! :)

Ok, hopefully these are helpful and not just annoying!! :)

These are questions we thought we'd answer and see if people liked it and more importantly, were helped by it! 

If you have plans to travel, we'd love to hear about them, and if we can help in any way at all, we'd love to!

Hello Globetrotters!

This week we take a little detour from the normal format and dive into the long list of questions we often get asked, as well as questions that come into us through this show!

I know, I know, it's not as exciting as some exotic family doing something insane, but hopefully it's some useful information for you to learn from and plan your own escape. I mean really, wouldn't you rather be living some of these amazing adventures than hearing about others! Usually, I can barely stay put in my chair after some interviews because I'm ready to hit the road!

This week, we are joined by Ken Weary, running aficionado. When he and his wife went to Guatemala for a get-a-way, they never dreamed they'd be hit by the "why-the-hell-not" bug and turn their world upside down and hit the road! They met some other expats (families living abroad) and could not think of a reason why they would wait on the adventure of a lifetime.

After arming themselves with research about driving through Central America, safety, school options, income, etc. they became an expat family themselves and now reside in the hills of Guatemala.

This week, we finish the interview we started last week with Yasmin and Graeme from "travel at the speed of life" We launch into homeschooling/roadschooling, which leads to a discussion of how to do life differently, how to stop buying some of the lies offered on the treadmill lifestyle, and more importantly, how to break free and life the life you dream of. 

There was loads of great info we covered, including a book recommendation: "The Seven Day Weekend" on how a multi million dollar company in Brazil runs with virtual employees all over the world.

This week we head down under for a fantastic interview with Yasmin and Graeme from 'Travel at the Speed of Life'. It was a great conversation into the why's of family travel and we covered so much ground, we broke it into two shows! This week we get their background and how they ended up selling everything they owned in England, and are currently making their way around Australia by RV!

They let us in on some valuable info about how they land house sitting gigs, and how they made the transition to full time travel. Good stuff!

This week we take a different look at a family before they head out on a round the world adventure. We wanted to catch up with Amy and Sean as they are just preparing to leave on the adventure of a life time with their 2 children. They have some great insights about how they've simplified their life in preparing for a life on the road, and what their anticipating!
