  • One of my favorites!

    I have recently found this podcast and love listening to her content. Jacq shares tips that are helpful for family travel (she’s got 5 kids!) and I love that but I also just love living vicariously through her and getting more ideas for our family of five. It’s an easy, fun listen that’s actually helpful as well!

    I recently found this podcast when searching for budget family travel and I love it! I love listening to travel podcasts and have learned a few new things recently from this one. I also have five kids which are a little older than yours and we have lots of good travel memories and always travel on a budget. Thanks for the inspiration and great ideas!
