  • Great facts and inspiring

    Excited to have found this podcast for family traveling. Great info, inspiring, and so helpful for us who are just dipping the toes into travel hacking. One thing, I love you have great microphones, but I can hear every time you swallow and it might make me have to stop listening. Cause I cringe every time.

    Other than that thanks for sharing your great tips!
