This is a story of a Mom and her teenage daughter who traveled together internationally for the first time, hopping on a plane to Italy just a few short weeks after a high school trip was cancelled. It’s a story about exploration and togetherness of shared family travel experiences. And how expanding family travels outside of the United States can lead to great experiences and you might just catch the worldwide travel bug.
Hear from Erinn who is a wife, a mother, a sister, a teacher, and a friend. She talks about the type of family vacations she enjoyed as a kid, how providing travel experiences to her own kids led to many family vacations across the United States. Then finally the leap to international European travel for the first time when her daughter’s disappointment prompted her to jump on an airplane to Italy with just a few weeks notice. That mother daughter trip to Italy was the first international stamp in her passport and opened up a new desire to go see other parts of the world. In this travel podcast, hear the story of that first trip to Italy with her teenage daughter that inspired Erinn to return to plant a next trip with her husband that included Italy, Iceland, and UK / London.
