Kated Travel Podcast

There's nothing more amazing than exploring the world through your children's eyes. David Delisle is today's special guest and he provides wonderful words of wisdom, encouraging us to be adventurous when we travel with kids. There's so much logic to David's advice as it cuts through typical fears and preconceptions, to showcase the incredible benefits travel brings to everybody in the family.

David tells us how travel is also a great opportunity to teach children about managing their money, just one part of his advice in the graphic novel The Golden Quest.

In today's episode, travel author Tony Copeland-Parker shares the story of a nomadic life with his partner, who was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimers. Running all over the world (literally), the couple have used travel to fight against disease, stimulating the memory with new places, experiences and social situations.

It's a fabulous story showing another benefit of travel. Tony can be an inspiration to us all and you can learn more by reading his book Running All Over the World, which is also available as an audio book.

Vacation rentals are one of travel's fastest growing industries. Almost all of us have used one, although vacation rentals have been around for a lot longer than Airbnb. In today's episode we go behind the scenes of the vacation rental industry with Wolf Worster, Director of Partnerships at TurnoverBnB.

Wolf shares his wisdom on the challenges, successes and changes that have taken place over the last +20 years. He also tells us how the vacation rental industry is likely to be in the coming years. It's great to learn about the small cogs moving this very active part of the travel industry forward.

Go walking with white rhinos in today's episode of the Kated Travel Podcast. First we walk in Zambia, close to Victoria Falls, for close-up encounters with a dozen enormous white rhinos. Then walk on the vast Namibian plains, with bushmen trackers helping lead the way towards the rhinos. It's hot, dusty and pretty scary, so buckle up for this short episode in the African bush, narrated by your host Stephen Bailey.

Sailing the Caribbean for three days would be wonderful. How about sailing the Caribbean for over three years. Today's special guest has lived on her boat with her five children for over ten years. She takes us on an inspiring journey through the islands, from Puerto Rico to Colombia and so many wonderful places in between.

Tanya is the author of the award-winning book Leaving the Safe Harbour and also blogs about her experiences at TakeTwoSailing.com. If you have questions you can also connect with her directly on Facebook and Instagram.

How do you avoid the crowds on holiday?

For your host Stephen Bailey there are three easy ways to do this. Travel to a less popular place, travel at a less popular time of year, and stay longer at your destination.

Sounds simple right? It is and it isn't. This short episode should help you travel a little more authentically on your next trip, wherever it is in the world.
