Erik Hemingway is the host of the Family Adventure Podcast which makes him the perfect fit for Family Week at the Daily Travel Podcast, in which I’m out to crush the mindset that having kids means you can’t travel, or even that life is no longer interesting or sexy. In fact, it’s the complete opposite. Having already interviewed dozens of families out to explore the world together, Erik is the perfect person to help shine some light on what sort of travel is possible with kids in tow.
In 2002, Erik found himself over-invested in life – too many things, stress, and not enough time or happiness. So, he uprooted his family to Costa Rica before taking the plunge to pursue his dream of learning how to not just sail, but give his children the opportunity of a lifetime.

Words from an Explorer:
“Travel takes you out of your comfort zone and forces you to address the things that are easy to sweep aside and get lost in the busyness.”
