This week on the podcast, we are joined by good friends of the show, Jake & Michelle Schomp! The last time we saw Jake & Michelle was in early 2020 when they passed through the Panama Canal at the start of a 77 day cruise that took them around South America and down to Antarctica.
We catch up with them from there and hear how their cruise was, what it was like being on a cruise at the start of the pandemic, what they did for a year while they weren’t traveling, and then what made them decide to hit the road again with their kids, Henley and Jagger.
They share why they decided to travel to Tanzania, where they went, what it was like to travel there as a family, and more! Finally, they share a little bit from their current trip to Nicaragua and what’s next for them in 2021 and 2022.
Enjoy!
