Rick and Jamie at the Western Wall in Jerusalem
Father & Daughter Travel!
In this episode, we are thrilled to be joined by Jamie and Rick Goodman, a father and daughter, who have a great story to tell. Through some family hardships, including cancer, Rick and Jamie were reminded how fragile life is. They made the choice to spend a month together, traveling through Europe and really trying to re-connect with each other.
It worked! Travel seems to have a mysterious way of bringing people together through something as simple as getting out of your normal routine, your comfort zone and being forced to think and focus on another person. One of the best things they learned through their experience washow to be flexible! Through jet-lag and things not always going according to plan, they learned how to adapt to stressful situations, and more importantly, how to connect through travel!
Rick is an international business speaker, and has plenty of travel experience under his belt. This was a new adventure: carving out a chunk of time with his daughter, to re-connect, and to soak up some incredible sights of Europe and have some unique experiences together. Jamie was apprehensive at first, but it’s hard to pass up a trip to Europe, even if it’s with your dad, but by the end of the trip, found a new love and appreciation for him, something she will carry with her.
The trip was very impacting for them both, and after the trip, Jamie committed to put a book together, and getting it published, all before she left high school! Please follow the link below for a special two day special, get the book for FREE! June 11 & 12, 2014.
Thanks Jamie and Rick for taking time with us, and best to you and your next adventure!
Show Notes:
Rick is an avid TripAdvisor fan. He relies on it for local travel advice and recommendations, traveling around the world. The recommendations are the best. They give a much more accurate view than guide books, and are often more fresh and updated.
Jamie keeps a blog with photos and info about the trip at: jamiejourney.com Also, check out their list of resources they talked about during the show.
Rick’s Blog is at: www.rickgoodman.com He would love to hear from people with questions on travel advice and how to connect with teens through travel.
