As mad-keen travellers, Brooke and Ben now subscribe to the idea of slow travel, exploring more and getting to know places in a deeper, local kind of way.

In this hostful episode they answer three great listener questions about:
the issue of over-planning
how to balance getting things done and enjoying the down time
keeping kids occupied on long-haul trips

Ben and Brooke also talk about their attempts to pack light for this trip, why they don’t get a local SIM card when they travel and the major benefits of setting up a home base and exploring from there, as opposed to being on the move constantly.

Enjoy!
