Just found this podcast (why didn’t it pop up in my searches months ago??) and really really enjoy this format. I like listening to travel podcasts from people who have been there with their kiddos. What a great podcast!
My favorite travel podcast. I have a dog walking business, so I am always listening to podcasts. You always ask the questions that I am thinking. My bucket list of places to travel keeps growing, because of all your great travel shows. Thanks for keeping me entertained on those cold winter walks!!

I started listening to Kelsey while pushing my toddler on our afternoon stroller walks, after researching a trip to Vegas with kids and her show popped up in the podcast search bar. I’ve now gone down a deep hole and have so many more places I’d love to go! Kelsey does an amazing job of getting into the nitty gritty of family travel, logistics, costs, hotels, tips and tricks, that I wouldn’t have known otherwise. This podcast is filled with little gems. She’s so relatable and easy to listen to. ... more
