This week on The Raising Cultured Kid's Podcast,  I caught up with Jess Swenson from Lets Adventure Some More and she shares in details about the last 12 months of traveling the world with her family of 5. 

Their first stop on their world trip took them through China. Jess shares both her apprehensions of traveling to such an unknown country beforehand but also the highlights she experienced once she got there with her family.
