What Travel Teaches Our Kids (and Us!) About Connection, Culture & Change with Crystal Haitsma


Listen Later

Have you ever dreamed about packing up your bags, hitting the road (or the sky!), and showing your kids the world? In this inspiring episode of the Fresh Start Family Show, Wendy is joined by parenting coach and worldschooling mama Crystal Haitsma. We explore how travel can become one of the greatest teachers of connection, flexibility, compassion, and shame-free parenting—not just for our kids, but for us too.


Crystal shares how her family of six spent eight months circumnavigating the globe (yes, seriously!) while navigating flight delays, language barriers, missing luggage, and a lot of unexpected emotional growth. You’ll hear how embracing travel as a life-learning opportunity helped her family grow closer, expand their worldview, and tap deeper into intuition and trust.


This conversation is a beautiful blend of wanderlust and wisdom, full of laughs, real talk, and powerful takeaways on how travel transforms not just our itineraries—but our family legacies.
