How to Explore the World: Travel, Retreats, and Traveling with Kids (EP124)

FitMama

FitMama, Hola! I have spent more than half of last month traveling and in this episode, I share my experiences and my story of traveling around the world with my kids when they were 2&4 years old. We shared all our pics and still continue to on our instagram @theoliverstravel where you can find our pics from Taj Mahal, Melbourne, Sydney for New Year’s Fireworks, the Northern Australia beaches of Noosa, the wine region of Marlborough, New Zealand and Dubai before hitting Portugal and Spain and after hitting Hong Kong and Vietnam.

This was while my husband was on sabbatical from his position as the Men’s Basketball Coach at a Canadian University and we did 3 months of working online and living in California and then 3 months working online while traveling west with stops in Hawaii and Fiji and landing back in Toronto on my younger daughter’s 3rd birthday. We traveled to 3 countries on her 3rd birthday, getting home to be with family. While it was a whirlwind, it was one of our best memories and the pictures still jog their memories. The stories forever stay and they see themselves as citizens of the world.

Their knowledge of geography and history are so beyond my comprehension, I am continually impressed. In this episode I share what we learned about in Peru and how I learn so much from my kids. Hiking with them into Machu Picchu was incredible on so many levels. I then share how I spent 7 days in Mexico prior to our family trip. I went solo for work and personal time. A hat free trip for the most part and it felt great. Also how I felt stepping away from technology when I traveled. Which doesn't always happen except on the plane.

I also drop the exciting news that I am hosting my first FitMama FitGoddess Retreat in Palm Desert, CA.
