Fellow podcaster and big-time travel blogger Caroline Makepeace joined us to share tips and insights when traveling with children. Caroline and her husband Craig usually report their travel wisdom through big-name platforms like Lonely Planet, Travel + Leisure, Forbes, and the Today Show. Hence, we counted ourselves fortunate to be able to tap into Caroline’s wisdom, as family travel is a significant part of being an international educator!
Caroline Makepeace is the co-founder of two successful online publications: This is Raleigh, a platform for anyone looking to explore the best of Wake County, North Carolina, and YTravelBlog, one of the world's most influential travel blogs. An avid traveler, she has lived in five countries (and taught in them), has traveled to over 50, and has traveled full-time for seven years with her two daughters. It's her mission to inspire and empower others to travel more and create a life they love.
Our Guiding Question was, “What can parents do to optimize traveling with their children?”
