I love this Podcast. Found it from other travel Podcasts, and binged episodes. So many locations, so much fun inspiration, and so real with how much Kelsey shares.
This is exactly what people want to hear- real people, real families taking real trips with the real breakdowns- thank you for including specific info on finances. I enjoy this each Monday when it drops. Most other travel podcasts don’t actually have this much travel content!
I found this podcast looking for safari trip reports but have since listened to 15+ episodes. I really love it—as someone who also loves having a podcast going while doing tasks, this feels like listening to a friend. Keep up the amazing work!
