EP101. In a spur of the moment decision, Renee packed up the car and headed north with Milo... alone. It didn't seem like a big deal at the time but, after reading messages from her community on Instagram, she realized that it is quite an accomplishment to travel alone with kids. It is unpredictable which makes it nervewracking. Will they throw tantrums in the car? Will they sleep in a strange environment? How will they behave being totally out of their normal routine? Renee shares her experience in this episode and shares some tips for traveling with kids! Renee's Mom tells her story about traveling from Canada to New Caledonia with her 6-month old baby and elderly grandfather. Don't miss that!
