Send us a Text Message.The echo of laughter and familial love rings clear as my brother Alberto and I swap stories about our diverse experiences in El Salvador and Mexico. While my own memories of El Salvador from 2009 are tinged with unease, Alberto's recent visit shines a light on a country undergoing a transformation, with safer streets and a burgeoning sense of hope under new leadership. It's a testament to change and the impact that time and governance have on a nation's narrative.Family trips: they're a recipe for chaos, and ours to Mexico was no exception, complete with the spice of drama and a dash of the ridiculous. Imagine navigating airport security with Grandma—never a dull moment there—and trying to keep track of everyone's paperwork and patience. Alberto's tales of reconnecting with our roots, indulging in local delicacies (sometimes to his stomach's dismay), and the eternal quest to keep family ties strong even when far apart are the heart of this episode's musings.So, buckle up and join us for an episode peppered with misadventures, from the perils of navigating new travel regulations to the warmth of a shared meal amidst the buzz of a family reunion. These stories stitch together the fabric of our travels, the vibrant culture we explore, and the enduring bonds that keep us coming back for more—food poisoning and all. With Alberto's candid revelations and my own reflective insights, this is an episode that captures not just the destinations we visit, but the journeys we take to get there.Support the Show.Follow us @ brokeboyz_ff on Instagram and TikTokIntro Music by Rockstar Turtle- Broke Boyz (999)

Oh flying and traveling on business - it takes you away from home for awhile to live in a suitcase. But it's worth it - especially if you make the most of it.

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports on Israel Palestinians Bar Mitzvah

This week's episode is a little different than usual! This week Lisa shares her interview conducted by Jamie Kelley, all about creating stress-free travel experiences with families.

Today's episode may be a bit of a mess! But hey, this is REAL life! As you will find out, i was interrupted by the kids a little more than half way through. I re-grouped & thought about starting over but decided, we won't edit anything out. This is me being transparent. Welcome to "Traveling With the Trimmer's!" On today's episode i talked about how as time passes and my podcast and women's community grow, I find myself revisiting my why. When I first started it all, I wanted to empower women to break free from molds and prioritize self-care, self-acceptance, and self-love. But as I've delved deeper, met new women, and researched more, my why has evolved. It's not that it's changed completely, but it's expanded and grown into new concepts and new ideas. It's about empowering women to push past societal expectations and find their true selves. And I know it's an ever-evolving journey, but through this community, I hope to inspire and facilitate growth and self-discovery.

This week, we're talking to El Paso Times reporter Lauren Villagran, who covers immigration and the U.S.-Mexico border for the Times and the USA Today network of newspapers. The journey of Kristian González Pérez and his family of four is not particularly unique — insomuch as his was one of thousands of families bussed to other parts of the country, sometimes for practical reasons, sometimes for political reasons. They were four of 10,713 asylum seekers who took the same route to New York on city-chartered buses. The family captured the journey on cameras provided by the El Paso Times and the USA Today Network. As Lauren notes, it was just hours earlier on Oct. 19 — exactly 35 days after they left Venezuela — González Pérez and his family had lined up in the parking lot of El Paso's Migrant Welcome Center. They smiled into the cellphone camera as the bus idled beside them. Lauren, and Times photojournalist Omar Ornelas, were not allowed to be on that bus. But they flew to New York to meet the family when they arrived, and they continued chronicling the family's journey. This story was a collaboration between the El Paso Times and USA Today for the fifth episode in the series “States of America.” The full episode of “States of America” exploring the migration crisis premiered on Nov. 25 on USA TODAY NETWORK's streaming channel. You can also find it on YouTube. This week, I'm grateful to have Lauren joining us.

Thursday, July 1 - The Adventure BeginsDirect flights are the bomb… and United Airlines “usually” has them from any airport.  I usually fly United if I can not get a direct flight on Delta. A 4:00 p.m. Eastern flight out of Fort Myers RSW lands you in Denver just after 6:00 p.m. Mountain Time. I was staying at my aunt's house in Boulder (Skier Suz) which is about 45 minutes from the Denver airport. Like we talked about in our previous episodes, Denver and Boulder are the two biggest and most fun cities in Colorado if you are NOT planning on driving into the mountains. Colorado is also the hub of breweries and exceptional BAR FOOD. My personal favorite grub hub is the Southern Sun on Boulder's famous Pearl Street. This particular restaurant is currently closed for COVID-19, but have no fear, the Southern Sun has a sister restaurant called Mountain Sun that is super close. The Chorizo Burger and the Spicy chicken sandwich are my personal faves. Plus the craft brews are to die for! Friday, July 2 - Beware of BearAfter some hot tub and coffee, the plan was to drive into the Mountains for some epic hikes. The best hike to hit if you are on your way to stay up at a summer ski resort is St. Mary's Glacier. This hike is right off the highway, but keep in mind, GPS may take you through the mountain roads if there is bad traffic. My tip would be to get up early and head out Friday morning or Thursday night, especially if it is a holiday weekend. Traffic can turn a 2 hour drive in a 3-6 hour drive. If you choose to take the “mountain road” shortcut, DRIVE SLOW and KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD. The scenery is breathtaking but not meant for the driver! The roads are steep and winding and the speed limit never exceeds 35 mph. Watch out for other cars as you go around every corner and if you are afraid of heights… maybe let someone else drive (or close your eyes)! If there is rain, drive slow, and if there is snow and/or ice, stay on the highway. Also, always rent a car with all wheel or four-wheel drive in the winter. In fact, if you can afford it, it pays to rent a four-wheel in the summer because on some hikes, like the Mayflower Gulch (our hike from July 3), you can drive the first couple miles of the hike.  If you type in St. Mary's Glacier on your GPS, it will take you past the parking spots so keep your eyes peeled. Bring one dollar bills for the $5 all day parking. The hike begins just north of the lot. If you don't have ones there is a super cute and very tasty little restaurant called Two Bears Tap and Grill off the highway that is 30 minutes away from the hike. Stop your long drive to grab some grub and booze. I recommend the wings (parm garlic and thai chili), as well as the cheese curds! Their seasonal brews are great. Was this the most appropriate meal before a hike? Nope. But if you have a strong stomach, go for it. They also have salad (lol). On the subject of food, bring snacks for your hike, water and some type of electrolyte drink (like Gatorade etc).  St. Marie's Glacier was an amazing first hike and my personal favorite solely because of the breathtaking views of the glacier, lakes and the surrounding mountains. About 10 minutes into your hike, you will come to a fork in the road. If you want a more chill path, go right. It will take you to the lake and you can picnic, relax, and even swim if you have no fear of freezing water. After hiking to the lake, you can go further up and hike next to one of the glaciers. The hike is a few miles and will take you 1-2 hours depending on how often you stop. If you go left, you can hike above the lake and make it to the top of the glaciers. This is the most amazing view. FYI - beware of bears and lightning. There is a bear cave on one of the traverses, however black bears are skittish and do not usually come near crowded trails.  Hiking Tips:Before you go on any hike, check the weather, bring layers and extra pairs of clothes (especially rain coats), as well as bags for your phones in case you get caught in the rain. Download the lightning App, and keep in mind, you are an easy target for lightning if you are on top of a mountain! Depending on the hike, get hiking boots for good ankle support on long hikes and trail running shoes for lighter shoes or/and if you like to trial run/jog. There are also certain hikes meant for night hiking but most hikes are not meant for night hiking. Make sure you give yourself enough time to get down before dark (i.e. if your hike is 2 hours, give yourself 3-45 min two to get down).  Also, keep in mind, Colorado Altitude is tough and gets tougher as you go up into the Mountains. If you are not acclimated, drink TONS of water before, during and after your hikes (even if you do not feel thirsty) and bring toilet paper on your hike because you will have to potty (lol)! Be smart with Altitude.  If you have time, do a front range hike first, before you head up further into the mountains. This will help you acclimate easier and keep you from getting altitude sickness. Also, bring gum on your hike to keep your throat wet! If you are an ambitious expert hiker (so not me), you can continue hiking to the famous James peak (about 14 miles). Another great hike right next to St. Marie's is Crater Lake. Bring Begay or Icy Hot if you are planning on hiking 3-4 days straight and/or you are not an avid hiker.  When  the hike was over we headed up to Copper Mountain (the end of the line of ski resorts). To finish off our day, guess what we ate…bar food. The Dillon Dam brewery is a must try dinner spot on your trip into the mountains. Their nachos and french onion soup are amazing. Bojous pizza is another great joint  on the way up.  Saturday, July 3 - St. Can't HikeOn Saturday morning, Mike, Sebbie, Jess and I rose early for another great adventure. We got up early because a) it is not as hot, and b) trials are less crowded in the morning. We drove over to Mayflower Gulch, which is about a 15 minute drive from Copper. The cool part about this hike is that it is long but not super steep, and you can drive the first half of it (the boring half). So we drove up to the valley and hiked  the rest of the way up, in the gulch. The view was breathtaking because you are hiking up sharp rocky mountains with a view of the beautiful valley that stretches into green and brown rolling mountains. Along the hike, you can find an old mine shaft, some snow and ice as well as many cute spots and rocks to sit on, have a picnic around and take cool pics! After this hike, we trotted back to the car and stopped at Leadville on our way home. Leadville is a beautiful historic town– famous in the adventure community for the Melanzana headquarters. Melazana is an outdoor clothing company that  manufactures and sells all of their outdoor clothing under one roof – in downtown Leadville. The company uses only U.S.-made parts and fabric. So we got some ice cream, waited around for them to place some merch on the racks, and headed back to Copper Mt. for a party! Many mountains usually have festivals for the ski slopes' closing weekend, Labor Day weekend, and 4th of july etc. In this case, Center Village at Copper had a Party with tents, food, and a Sublime tribute band.  Sunday, July 4 - Independence Day!!!July 4 was EPIC (not the ski pass)! We woke up, and traveled back down to Boulder, stopping at Georgetown to tour the unique historic homes, grab more ice cream (a recurring theme), and to grab some CO merch. Georgetown is one of the many historic towns that you see along the drive back out of the mountains. Unique aspects include: a year-round Christmas store, old fashion churches, and an energy museum. They also had a whip show going on with actors dressed up as old westerners.  Once we arrived back in Boulder, we met up with my friend Gabby Schuck and headed to hike the front range at Chautauqua park. There are many cool hikes around Chautauqua and the area is warm and grassy. The red rocks are beautiful and if you hike high enough you can see the entire city!  Some other fun hikes around Boulder include; Skyscraper Reservoir (north of Boulder), and Settler (a night hike).  Monday, July 5 - Back Home!!!On Monday our excellent adventure came to a close; but not before we swung by the Denver Biscuit company first! Heads up; order from them online and at least 1 hour ahead of time because they are always slammed, especially on the weekend. One de-recommendation: United Airlines. United (because of bad weather) moved my direct flight from 6:00 p.m. to 1:45 p.m. with a connection in Houston. I tried to call and my customer service rep spoke hardly any english... Good thing we checked in on our phones before our flight! We landed in Fort Myers safe and sound to tell the story of our excellent July 4 Colorado adventure!

Every summer, school ends and the holidays begin either a dream or nightmare for parents. If both parents are working most of the summer, it means somehow managing care and activities of kids. If there is a chance for a holiday, there is that intense reality of exploring, while managing the needs of every age and character involved.Midsummer/Midsommar has different purpose and symbolism between California and Sweden. Tradition, versus the longest night and a few celebrations of Solstice on beach and in wood within a particular circle.This summer, we challenge you to keep 'you'.

This week Karen Dawkins from Family Travels on a Budget joins us to share her knowledge and love for this special part of North Carolina tucked between 95 and 40 just outside of Raleigh.

She moved to Johnston County, North Carolina in 2001 and has enjoyed living in this close knit community just outside of Raleigh. A long-time homeschool mom, she and her kids took many field trips to explore all JoCo, as the locals call it, has to offer. Follow Karen on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. ABOUT JOHNSTON COUNTY, NC Today’s podcast is sponsored by Johnston County, North Carolina. Whether you are looking for a weekend getaway or a place to stop on an East Coast road trip, Johnston County, affectionately known as JoCo, is a perfect destination for families. Located at the intersection of Interstate 95 and 40, just outside of Raleigh, JoCo offers a small-town vibe in a convenient location. Families will enjoy visiting farms, shops, museums, and cafes, as well as attending outdoor movie nights and one of the county’s many outdoor festivals. And don’t miss the BBQ! Visitjohnstoncountync.organd get to know JoCo! It is easy to remember, just take exit 95 off I-95. Don’t pass it by! TIPS FOR VISITING JOHNSTON COUNTY, NC Johnston County is a great place to visit even if it's just for a weekend or a stop on your road trip down to Florida. You can hang out and explore some festivals or go berry picking in the spring and visit pumpkin patches in the fall. Though you won't find any festivals in the winter and summer because they tend to be either too hot of too cold, there are plenty of other things to explore. If you visit the johnstoncountync.orgwebsite you can find out everything that is going on. There is a calendar of events for the entire county and a very active blog that keeps current information posted. Even though there are not any festivals during the summer and winter, there are still a ton of places to stop along the route of Interstate 95 through Johnston County. One highlight is the Tobacco Farm Life Museum, which is right at the beginning edge of the county when you are driving down from New York or New Jersey. This museum is open all year long with live demonstrations and hands on experiences your kids will love; especially after sitting in a car for hours. If you are interested in shopping and antiquing, then you should think about stopping in Selma and grabbing an orangeade to quench your thirst during your shopping spree. Going further south into Benson, NC there is a great gluten-free bakery to grab a snack. If you are bringing a dog with you on your road trip, Benson is also a great place to stop since they have an off-leash dog park! If you can’t stop for a day or two, you should think about at least stopping for a meal and get away from the fast food you find on the highway. Just by driving a little way off the highway you can grab a great meal that will only cost a little bit more than that fast food you were going to get and is so much better! Just a five minute drive off the highway you can hit Smithfield and grab some food at Simple Twist, which is a farm-to-table restaurant that is laid back and serves some great light dishes. SoDoSoPais another restaurant to try which serves a twist on southern cuisine. Beer Wine Shine Trailis really fun experience and a great way to try some local brews, wines and moonshine made in a local distillery. Of course this is more for the adults on your trip! If you like exploring the outdoors with your kids, you can check out some great hiking trails that even some of the locals don’t know about! You can learn more about the hiking trails and other outdoor adventures at Mountains to Sea Trail. If you are traveling with pets make sure to check out the Hampton Innin Benson which is new, pet-friendly, and located right across the way from the dog park. If you are looking to stay somewhere more untraditional, you should stay at the Morning Glory Innin Clayton. With its location you can walk almost anywhere in Clayton and spend your nights in a beautifully restored historic home. If you plan on spending a little more time in Johnston County you should think about visiting the Bentonville Battlefield. This area is also known for playing a big role in the Civil War . The battlefield is out in the middle of nowhere but not too hard to find and is a great learning experience. If you go in March that is when they do their reenactment of the battle. If you have any interest at all in early Hollywood or even the Royals you should check out the Ava Gardner Museum. The facts you learn about Ava Gardner will blow you away. If you are going to spend any time in Clayton you should make sure to check out the Sculpture trail which is amazing to go and see plus every year they feature a different artist so you can keep going back and see something new. BEST PLACE TO TAKE FAMILY PHOTO When visiting Johnston County there are a lot of places to take a family photo.

115- Thrifty Family Travels Today on the show we have more Australian Adventurers, Melissa from Thrifty Family Travels, who shares about their family's trips. She's all about being thrifty, not cheap, but getting the best value they can for the experiences on the trip. Sometimes they take the more rustic way of travel or sometimes its a more plush travel style. Including a helicopter ride to see snow cover mountains in New Zealand! Since they've traveled for years, their daughter Myla, now loves to backpack and thoroughly enjoys the adventures! She goes out of her way to make friends wherever she goes. Melissa said it's common to find her getting along for hours with other kids from other countries without speaking or understanding each other. They get along as if no language barrier exists. They recently returned from a trip to South East Asia and have plans to see Indonesia and Canada before the end of 2017! Currently they keep their trips to about 4ish weeks, usually during holidays when work is slow anyways. For the next 12 months they're working to set up on an online business and make their jobs more location independent so they can go for longer periods of time.

Hilton Head, South Carolina offers wide beaches, sand dunes, golf resorts and family-friendly resorts and vacation rentals, making it a perfect vacation destination. Today we learn about family travel to Hilton Head, South Carolina from Karen Dawkins from Family Travels on a Budget.

As she says, “Budget doesn’t mean cheap. It’s smart!” She has also been featured in print and online markets, and on podcast. You can follow her adventures on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest.   Karen is originally from Ohio but now lives in North Carolina and has been visited Hilton Head fifteen times. She travels with her husband, two sons and one daughter. We talk about why Hilton Head is great for families, what it is like to visit, what the beaches are like, what there is to do and Karen's favorite places to stay and eat. What to Do If families want some time off the beach, there is plenty to do include paddle boarding, kayaking, and biking. Karen especially enjoys going to Pickney Island Nature Preserve with its wildlife, sea creatures and walking trails. Families on a budget can take advantage of the many city parks that are free and offer great family entertainment. Hilton Head is laid back and low key -- no neon or typical beach scene. Where to Stay Families visiting Hilton Head would fly into Savannah, Georgia, just 45 minutes away. It is also not far off of Interstate 95. Families should plan on spending at least four days, but a week is ideal. There are three main areas to stay in Hilton Head: the Sea Pines Resort, where the big golf course is; Palmetto Dunes, which is the ocean front area that is great for beach lovers; and Disney's Hilton Head Resort that is Shelter Cove. Since it is more protected there, you will find stand up paddle boarding and other activities in this area. Karen recommends the Disney Hilton Head Resort for families. There are also many vacation condominiums available for rent that are perfect for families that want the space and comforts of home.  Where to Eat One Hot Mama's features BBQ and low country food from the Next Food Network Star. Karen also loves the pizza at Mangiamo because she is a big Ohio sports fan and has found that all the Buckeye fans seem to congregate there. Best Place to Take a Family Photo in Hilton Head Karen suggests posing on a live oak tree branch at Coligny Beach for an ideal family photo. Perfect for holiday cards!   You can learn more about Karen's recommendations for Hilton Head over on Family Travels on a Budget including: Hilton Head by the numbers -- What it costs off season  Why Hilton Head is great for families -- and a map of the island Five reasons to vacation at Hilton Head Favorite Travel Gear Karen loves her little black dress from J. Jill for its comfort and style. Tip of the Week Kim recommends bringing a small bottle of baby powder for your next trip to the beach, as it is perfect for getting sticky sand off your body. She also found a fun product at Beaches called the Powder Pouch, which works the same way. Mentioned on the Podcast Alabama Beaches are Calling!

If others can make money online why can’t I? That’s the question that Sharon Gourlay asked herself in 2013. With her kids still of pre-school age she knew she had a window of opportunity to give up her job, build an online income and move overseas, enjoying the world while living off her digital income. Within 12 months Sharon had started to get results – she has since built her online business up to $5000 per month and growing while she enjoys living in Penang (very affordably) and traveling the world from her base with her family of 4 (also very affordably). In this interview Sharon shares the story of how she built her blog, how she finds living in Penang, and gives some tips on how to monetize a travel blog which she also shares via her website www.digitalnomadwannabe.com What I learned from Sharon’s interview: You can build a blog worth $5000 per month. We know from our interview with Yeison and Samantha that this is possible. Sharon did it by having a plan as to how she hoped to earn it and working hard on targeting to her market. SEO is important. Sharon focused on this part of building her blog, knowing that it would take time but would give her strong long term benefits so that she could eventually just focus her time on maintaining her business Invest in learning what you need to learn. Sharon spent all the initial money she made from her blog on educating herself further Diversify your income. Sharon has been closed down by an affiliate company so it only emphasizes that you don’t want to rely entirely on any one source of income – you never know when Facebook, Google or someone else will decide they don’t like what you are doing – and remember; with many of these large companies you are considered guilty until you prove you are innocent. Write quality content. Too often when looking to earn online income or build traffic it becomes a focus about looking for tricks to build your business. As Sharon rightly says it isn’t just about the number of website visitors but whether you are getting the right visitors who will take action. Don’t become fixated on page views either. Look at Norwegian airlines for budget flights. I just priced a fare from Bangkok to Oslo at $US152. They also offer transatlantic deals – may be well worth a look You can travel Europe on under $100 per day as a family of four, its all about traveling slow and looking for affordable food and accommodation. Crack those nuts and the cost can drop substantially.
