Once upon a time before Corona Virus I went on a cruise and met a guru of podcasting, Michael Neeley of The PodQuest Show, Consciously Speaking and others. He shares with us his travel catastrophes with his son.

*Over here at Kidtastrophe I want to say that I hope all listeners are safe and healthy during this time. Sending light and love to you all as we each deal with our challenges.

My guest this week is my 12 year old son Teague. He's pretty candid about each of the trips we went on and how much he liked or didn't like them. Teague's been to many places in the USA, India, Panama, England, France and Canada.

Episode 5 and we make a dive into a trip with guests Matt and Val Dahlin. They have 3 girls and recently returned from a trip to Hawaii. We discuss how kids can kinda be “underwhelmed” over amazing things.

My guest this week is Allison Larsen a Speaker, Author, Host of Spotlight: The Allison H Larsen show and Founder of The Speakers Coalition. She has 4 kids that are in high school or older and enjoys traveling with them now that they can carry her suitcases. We chat about the benefits of travel with your older kids and some of the challenges she faced as she traveled with them throughout the years. Pro-Tip: The things you think your older kids will enjoy aren't always what you thought they would be.

Just kidding, you can't have all the secrets. I interview my hot hunk of a husband ( Ryan Fritzsche) so you can get to know our family better and see how we actually afford to travel internationally with our kids. Ryan shares some tips and some personal (way personal) stories about his travel when he was younger. If you're not into TMI on bodily functions you may want to skip this episode...except don't. It's hilarious.

In this episode we discuss the ninja level flexibility my guest Elliot Roe had to have as he encountered a trip with extra puke on the side! Traveling with your kids in a car can be challenging and we discuss our best tips for keeping them entertained in cars and on airplanes.

Big news! This is the first podcast! My guest is Gerald Rogers, a father of four and a Transformational speaker/jedi master. Check him out at https://geraldrogers.com/

We discuss the anxiety of travel with kids, a few hilarious stories like stacking his wife and kids like a Jenga game. I share a story of solo travel with my 4 kids and a few tips to make trips easier!
