nomadtogether.com/ytravelblog/ This week's episode focuses on travel blogging. Do you want to start a blog or are you already a blogger, but struggling what you can create out of your blog? Then listen to Paul and Caroline Makepeace, the co-founder of ytravelblog.com one of the world's biggest travel blog and have been featured by notable brands such as Forbes, CNN, The Today Show, Virgin Australia, Expedia, and Lonely Planet and was one of the top digital travel influencers to be invited to the White House.

They road tripped around Australia for 18 months and are weeks away from road tripping across the US for 2-3 years on their America Unplugged road trip. When not traveling and writing about it, you can find her swinging in a beach hammock at sunset to the tunes of Jack Johnson, or buying another crystal to meditate with at a local market. nomadtogether.com/ytravelblog/
Since she was a teenager, Caz has made travel a priority in her life. As a solo traveler, then with her husband, Craig, and now with two young daughters, the travels have continued—and along the way, she and Craig have built one of the world’s most successful travel blogs. Their most recent adventure was an 18-month road trip around their home country of Australia, and they’re already gearing up for their next road trip in the U.S. in late 2016.
Caz Makepeace and her husband own one of the largest travel blogs in the world www.ytravelblog.com. We talk about everything from creating a lifestyle of travel (with kids as well), to creating a successful travel blog, and turning their life from near bankrupt to financial abundance. Their travel blog has also led them to incredible experiences like attending the first travel summit at the White House and speaking alongside Kofi Annan at an upcoming travel forum in Turkey. They have over 300,000 monthly visitors to their blog and over 4 million followers on Pinterest. I enjoyed listening to her perspective and her opinions on reverse culture shock.

I'm a traveler. Starting at age 15 when I took off for a year of study in France, hopping on a plane, navigating around a new city, chatting up the locals and finding my way around a bus terminal or market is not only natural to me, but also one of my greatest joys. I want to share that joy with my kids, and also, even though I'm a parent, I don't want to stop traveling myself (call me selfish, I could care less). I've written a lot about the annual road trip I take with Helena and Lucas (The Wall Street Journal interviewed me about my radical policy of no tablet in the car. Common, America! Gah!), and now that they are older we are taking more adventurous trips -- they to Greece with their dad in the summers, and hopefully skiing this winter. I sympathize with parents who are terrified about traveling with kids. I admit that the morning after returning from our three-week road trip last year, I could.not.get.out.of.bed. Not because I was so tired. But because being home felt sososoossoososososo good! Those kids can kick my butt. But today's guest is such an inspiration. Caz Makepeace, together with her husband Craig, run the site YTravelblog.com, and have barely paused their globetrotting when they had their two daughters. Today, the young Australian family writes about their adventures and trials across their home country, Asia and the United States, and helps families do the same. In this interview, Caz shares her advice on how to affordably travel with kids (Craig is a carpenter, and Caz is a teacher), some of her most favorite on-the-road memories with her daughters, and her most harrowing family travel experience ever (I'm not sure I would admit this one publicaly, but am grateful she did!).
