The hardest part of traveling with kids

Our family is getting out of the office, out of the classroom, and out of the bubble to explore the beauty of the world in-person, from its people, history and geography to its architecture, food and culture.

We’re on a quest to experience 110 distinct cultures across all 7 continents by the summer of 2025, when our oldest, Reagan, heads off to college and our two youngest, Brooklyn and Colt, begin in-person high school.

Our semi-nomadic family lifestyle isn't all peaches and cream. In this episode, we dive into some of the biggest challenges related to our constant travel and how our kids feel about the journey.
