Living Around the World – WorldTowning


“Living the world, one hometown at a time”

Jessica and Will started WorldTowning to expose their children to the world and prefer to live in each country for longer than your typical vacation.

They’ve gone from your typical life in Massachusetts (kinda) to living in an RV in Europe, with several countries and adventures along the way.

Listen to today’s episode to learn how they started their adventures, and the creation of WorldTowning, their site dedicated to helping others live abroad as well.

Around the World with the Rutledge Family

ep-256

Click here to download this episode.

The Rutledge Family had a case of itchy feet!

After a birthday trip to Chile, Suzanne and Mitch Rutledge realized that long term travel might be something they could ACTUALLY do! They got back home and started planning;

What would they do with their house?
How would their son’s school take the news that they were taking an extended trip abroad?
Where were they going to go?!

As they began preparing for their trip things began falling into place, and here they are, on the other end, talking about their experiences as seasoned world travelers!

Suzanne, Mitch, and Luke (the youngest person to ever be on the podcast) join me today to chat about getting out the door and deep into a 9-month adventure around the world, along with some of the best tips that they learned along the way.

Do you have any family travel tips? Let us know @ExtraPackofPeanuts!!

EPoP 042: Confessions of a Road Warrior with Grant Baldwin

Grant-Baldwin-WEB

“I’d love to travel, but I have kids.”

Children are often seen as a detriment to a life of travel.

With three girls under the age of five and many miles of travel under his belt, author and motivational speaker Grant Baldwin certainly disagrees with that!

Grant is constantly packing up his family of five and taking them on trips, leaving others to shake their heads and wonder how he can afford to do it.

And for work, Grant travels across the country giving talks to high school and college-aged students about the transition to real-life after schooling, making him quite the road warrior.

Today he joins us to share his tips on keeping business travel fun, balancing cost vs. comfort, and also how to travel with a family of five.
