Be my Guest!

Hello there, today is a bit of a break from the show and a chance for you to help me! I’m looking for a steady stream of families to interview and if you’re a listener to the show then you are either: a) traveling or b) most likely know someone who is traveling and would want to be on the show!

It’s a great way to share your story with  a “virtually” painless Skype call for less than an hour. I’d love to get your story out there to encourage other families to take the plunge! It’s an amazing feeling to know that you may have inspired other people!

Drop me a line at: family adventurepodcast@gmail.com or go straight to the schedule and book a slot that works for you!

Thanks again for being a listener to the show! We’ll be back next week with a ‘regular’ interview :)

travel more. create better memories.

Today we are joined by a true ‘family travel pro’  Caroline (Caz) Makepeace. She joins us to tell about her and her husband Craig’s many years of travel adventures. I say pro because they run one of the largest resources for family travelers (and travel wannabes) and have grown a massive following to their advice and tips.

Caroline was kind to join us at 5 am her time to catch up with Family Adventure Podcast listeners, and give us some tips on how they’ve built a business around travel. There’s also loads of great advice for those just starting out, especially looking a family travel and being overwhelmed with where to start.

Thanks again Caz, for hanging out with us. Listeners: kick back, relax, and enjoy listening!

Blog: www.ytravelblog.com  Absolutely packed with loads of tips, advice and resources, plan to stay on their site for a while! I always do!
