2 Travelling Tots-
This week on the show we have Mark from 2 Travelling Tots talk to us about all the traveling him and his wife used to do. They didn’t want their kids to stop them from seeing the world so they don’t!
Currently they have an Bed’N’Breakfast in England they work 8-10 months of the year and the other months they set out and see a new part of the world. The next adventure is set for January 2017, they’re headed to India, Thailand and more of SouthEast Asia with their 2 boys who will be 4 & 1.
The kids do great while traveling. Mark thinks it’s because they’ve gotten used to it. The more often they go the more normal it seems. They adjust amazingly! He also talks about great ways to catalog all the places the kids have gone to, so when they’re more grown they can see all the places they’ve experience. Listen to the show to learn more!
Show Notes:
Follow their blog HERE. If you’ve been to South Asia in the last year feel free to reach out to them and share your experiences at the contact on their blog.

Where We Roam!
After a series of life events, Scott and Emily kinda felt they were being pushed toward traveling in a big way. They came up with the idea to spend 12 months in 12 countries, wanting to live like a native of that country. Curious to explore the world and learn what it would be like to live in the country and not just “tour” it.
They said it was enlightening to see how others live and enjoy the small details in everyday life while living out of 36 Liter backpacks. However, right before they left on the trip they got pregnant. So they pushed off the trip just until after the baby was born and then head out!! They relied hugely on Airline Miles and ending up flying all their major flights with points they had earned. Scott goes into great details about using airline miles on their blog –> here!
Emily says it’s fun now to look back and see the milestones that her daughter is reaching compared to their son. Like first foods in Thailand, first starting walking in England, etc
Once they got back to the States they didn’t just jump back into a “white- picked- fence- Life” like they thought they would when they were traveling. They decided to see a bit more of the States while they were in the traveling mode when an old city bus kinda fell into their laps. They had fun renovating and are now enjoying life on the road!!
Show Notes:
WEBSITE here is filled with info on their 12c in 12m. And you can also follow them along on their bus adventure! Emily keeps us a beautiful INSTAGRAM and you can follow on FACEBOOK

12 Months ago this family left from Scotland for a year+ long trip around the world, planning to see as much as they can!
The Smiths had always planned for something cool. Some sort of travel. So when the opportunity arrived a while back they jumped at the chance! They sold her business while he would continue to work a bit of IT jobs during the trip. And off they went!!
While they are using the Around the World airline ticket, so far they’ve gotten to see the States, Australia, Asia, Africa and are currently in S. America. Some of the highlights so far include: Sand dunes, Safaris, Ruins in S. Asia and more! The Smiths have offered to answer any questions other may have about their journey and trip so far!! Check out their website below.
Show notes:
Follow along on their trip and get in touch with them through their WEBSITE
The website filled with all kinds of Train info: www.seat61.com
They also used Air B&B, hostels and hotels for places to stay while relying on TripAdvisor.com for reviews on places/ areas to stay.
