In 2008, Ian Pilbeam did something most would consider crazy. He left his job, and took his wife and two young children backpacking around the world for a year. Not only did Ian and his family experience many, many incredible moments, Ian wrote about it all in his best-seller, Are We There Yet?

I spoke to Ian about his favourite moments, the biggest lessons him and his family learnt, how to overcome fear when wanting to change your life, and also - Ian talks about how he has transformed his life and business into one which restricts him of any schedule and lets him travel to his hearts content.

Both this episode and Ian's experiences are inspiring, educational and very entertaining. In his own words:

"From Bali to Beijing, Edinburgh to Ecuador and Madagascar to Machu Picchu, it certainly wasn’t your average holiday!" 

If you love travelling, have plans to travel, or are even in a position where your sick and tired of your everyday and are desperate to pursue your dreams (no matter how crazy they may seem), this is the episode for you.
