  • A better way to travel

    I really enjoy this podcast and Amanda’s approach to travel - being intentional and thoughtful. I’m especially enjoying the Van Life series where Amanda recounts her family’s travels around Europe in a motorhome way back in 1985. It’s interesting to reflect on how we travelled back then compared to now. Thanks for sharing your memories.
