I’m Olivia. I’m a mother, a podcaster, a college instructor, a writer, and a compulsive traveler. With my husband Matthew and our kids Cletus, Lemmy and Leafy Isaac (not their real names, as you may have guessed) I spent nearly 4 years living in Beijing, China. That adventure solidified what has been a lifelong love affair with the world, and forever infected us all with the travel bug.
Our family has lived in 3 countries, traveled to 21 and visited every continent but Antarctica. Along the way, we’ve learned how to travel internationally with kids with the minimum of headache. Let us share what we’ve learned the hard way, so you don’t have to!
I love that you travel with your kids! My parents took us EVERYWHERE and it has really helped me in life. Same goes for my husband. Unfortunately, our parents took us to different countries, so we have a hard time finding a country neither of us have been to… 🙂 your kids will be so grateful for the experience later in life! I can’t wait to do the same thing with my kids!
Olivia! Today I found a link to the article you wrote for KSL about how China taught you to play. It was truly what I needed to read today.
