Episode #1 Why We Travel: Making Memories Before They’re Grown

In this first episode of The Traveling Family Circus, I’m sharing the heart behind our family’s passion for travel and why we choose to make it such a priority while our kids are still young. I’ll talk about the challenges of traveling with five kids, the lessons I learned from my own childhood experiences, and the motivation behind starting this podcast.

This episode is about more than destinations — it’s about connection. You’ll hear why I believe family travel is one of the best ways to make lasting memories, why we only get so many summers with our kids, and how you can start prioritizing family time in ways that matter most. I’ll also share some insights and tips to help your own family travel more smoothly and meaningfully.
