1 RV, 2 Adults, 4 Kids, and a Dog with Paul Kortman

Ep-265

Click here to download this episode.

Lots of people think once you have one kid you can’t travel, let alone 4 kids and a dog!

Paul Kortmans joins me today to share his family’s experience taking on Mexico in an RV.

We chat about how he (and his kids) ended up with the travel bug, the lightbulb moment when he and his wife realized their kids like to travel just as much as they did, and a story of overcoming business setbacks as a location independent professional.

Whew, that’s a lot! We cover a lot of ground in this podcast including a GENIUS tip for getting your kids used to airplane travel if they’ve never done it before, and a great way to keep them entertained on those long flights!

Do you remember traveling with your parents as a kid? Tell us your favorite memories @ExtraPackofPeanuts!!

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!!

Today’s episode has been sponsored by our own gift guide! (I think that might be cheating)
