Come along with Craig Zabransky of StayAdventurous.com as he continues his mission to inspire you to take and make adventure in your life. In this episode he reviews a way to Follow the Sun for a year with family. After taking a few travel sabbaticals of his own, he was excited to interview author (and now expert traveler) Margaret Bensfield Sullivan to discuss her recent book - Following the Sun, Tales (And Fails) From A Year Around the World With Our Kids. Inside she shares her story of preparing for such a life changing trip and then we discuss highlights of their family adventures across six continents and 29 countries on a year long adventure. We uncover many of her tales of adventures, travel tips and advice, and lessons learned from "the trip." Also my top 3 takeaways from the book, the Staying Advenutorus Mindset Moment and even some of my travel sabbatical or gap year lessons sprinkled in too. Enjoy.
