20211012 - Exploring Family Travel With Rainer Jenss by Kevin McCullough Radio

“True learning happens between the poles, not just between the ears.” Is travel an essential part of a healthy family? Rainer Jenss says YES. In 2009 Rainer and his wife sold their house and took their two young children on a year-long trip around the world! The experience had such a profound impact on Rainer that he has since dedicated himself to advocating for family travel, founding the Family Travel Association, an organization committed to helping families incorporate travel into their lives. Rainer has worked for National Geographic, serving as publisher for National Geographic Kids, CNN International, and Business Travel International. His work has appeared in USA Today, Bloomberg Business, New York Times, ABC News, and The Wall Street Journal, to name a few. Rainer chats with the Dad Pod guys about the powerful positive outcomes travel can have on a family and the importance of letting your children have input on vacation plans.  + Bobby ends the show by naming every person he's ever met & Dave and Rainer bond over their unique last names.Check out the Family Travel Association and plan your next family trip:http://www.familytravel.org-Connect with the Dad Podhttp://www.dadpodpodcast.comhttps://www.instagram.com/thedadpod/https://www.facebook.com/thedadpodpodcast

Equine Therapy (0:00:00) Being around horses is always a great experience –they're large, majestic, and incredibly fun to ride. But have you ever thought about using horses as a means of therapy? Believe it or not, thousands of people attend equine therapy sessions across the world for help with their physical, mental, or emotional needs. So, what is it about horses that makes them a steady therapeutic resource? Joining us today is Gina Little, the owner and CEO of Dream Power Therapy, a nonprofit dedicated to providing equine therapy for those in need. We'll be discussing the role horses can play in helping you cope with grief, trauma and more.   Saving for Retirement (0:17:35) Retirement may seem like forever away. You have ballet lessons to pay for or maybe you're saving to buy a new house. Your budget is pulled tight as it is; you can't think about saving for your life 30 or 40 years in the future. This is definitely the case for many families across the US, especially right now in this economy. However, saving for retirement is important and we need to prioritize it in our budgets. Here  to  help  us  navigate  saving  for  retirement  is  Liz  Frazier,  our  favorite  family  financial planner and new Director of Financial Education for Copper—the teenage banking app.   Travelling with Kids (0:35:43) In theory, traveling with your kids sounds great. Creating awesome memories, broadening your child's horizon, and nurturing their love for new people and places. However, the application is a little more challenging. The reality of traveling with kids is long days, mountains of baggage, and, more likely than not, at least some complaining. In fact, you'll probably need a vacation from your vacation once it's all over. But as scary as traveling with kids, especially young ones, might sound, it's all worth it in the end. Here to discuss with us how best to travel with kids and what factors are important to consider before and during our trips, is founder and president of Family Travel Association, Rainer Jenss.  Recipe for Success (0:52:46) The world is a success-driven place. Sometimes this can be intimidating. How is success actually achieved? It's kind of an elusive concept. We wanted to shed some light on this today by highlighting one individual's story of success. Sabrina Jenkins is the Atlanta Chapter President for Women in Sports and Events. She has also been named one of Atlanta's 100 Top Black Women of Influence. We thought she would be the perfect person to learn a few things from.   King of the High Wire (1:11:28) Have you ever had one of those nightmares where you find yourself walking hundreds of feet above the ground on nothing but a rope? When you fall off you just wake up from your dream. But for our next guest the stakes are much higher than simply waking up. Walking across a wire while being miles high in the sky may seem crazy to you, but for Nik Wallenda, aka the “King of the High Wire”, it's a dream come true. Nik holds numerous world records and is the first man to ever cross the Grand Canyon on a high wire. Nik is here with us today to talk about how he accomplishes his amazing stunts.   Self Acceptance (1:28:35) Despite self-acceptance being a constant battle, the practice of loving ourselves affects so much more than we realize. We feel happier, free and confident. And even those around us benefit. Here to share how we can better practice self-acceptance is Alison, founder of The Alison Show and the Awesome with Alison podcast.

Gina Little discusses equine therapy, Liz Frazier talks about preparing for retirement, Rainer Jenss gives travel tips, Sabrina Jenkins tells her success story, Nik Wallenda talks about his life as a daredevil, Alison Faulkner teaches about self-acceptance.

FAMILY TRAVEL TIPS Plan ahead, especially if you are traveling during spring breaks when the cost of traveling is higher. Iceland has grown in popularity as a family travel destination. Make sure to plan at least six months ahead of time because the high amount of travelers and not too many hotels. South Africa, Alaska, Costa Rica, etc. are all places that are offering more options for family travelers. For your next vacation, look into using a travel consultant rather than a travel agent to help you figure out what your options are with the budget you have. FAVORITE TRAVEL GEAR Rainer makes sure that he packs his ‘ExOfficio’ Underwear everywhere he goes. His kids still pick on him about it because he hasn’t worn any others since he first bought them for a trip. TIP OF THE WEEK Make sure to keep track of the time differences when you travel.
