Spillin Chai Tea with Britt and Joel is so back, and we are SO ready to have you. In today's episode we finally recount our many adventures in Joel's motherland-- India. Our experiences were nothing short of magical and all of the kids concerns were quickly swept away with curiosity, an eagerness to learn, and the undeniable family centric culture that invigorated our stay. Come chit chat with us as we tell you about our airport struggles (missing luggage, and crying babies kept us on our toes), and our favorite parts of our unforgettable trip.

Britt and Joel get ready to take on INDIA with 4 KIDS. Join the conversation as they discuss international travel with kids, embracing change, and navigating a multicultural family dynamic.

Planning a trip to India with kids is no joke — between e-visas, passports, school schedules, and vaccine questions, it’s been a journey before the journey even starts. ✈️🇮🇳
