The Importance of Cultural Immersion in Family Travel - with Patty Monahan of Our Whole Village

I&#39;ve been raving about the benefits of travel with kids for many years now (almost my whole life!), and I loved putting together this episode about the benefits of family travel. The benefits run in all directions - both for the children and the parents, and beyond.
My first guests are Kath and Howie of The Museum of Us, who have travelled for many years with their daughter. We discussed their three-month stint in Thailand when she was two years old, and how having her with them opened up all kinds of doors to local society.
I then chat with Kaitlyn Jain who decided that having kids (four of them) wouldn&#39;t stop her pursuing her love of travel, and it hasn&#39;t - it&#39;s just changed it, and for the better.
Finally, I speak with Deborah Haile and her son Jonah about what travel teaches kids and why it&#39;s beneficial for both them and us to go travelling with them.
