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!!

Our Biggest Travel Mishaps

Travel-Mishaps-web

When you follow me on social media you might think that my travel was all delicious food, great beer, and amazing vistas.

You’d be wrong.

Those things do happen (quite a lot actually), but there are moments in between when things go just a touch sideways.

Those are the moments that you’ll remember forever.

Heather joins me today to talk about two of our worst travel mishaps; you’ve heard bits and pieces of the stories these past 73 episodes and it’s finally time to tell the whole story.

You’re sure to have a laugh, as we recount our time stuck in Singapore and getting our “Thailand tattoos”.

Make sure to leave your travel mishaps in the comments below, we shared ours, now it’s your turn!
