Returning Home After Extended Travel

Returning Home After Extended Travel

This summer I had the opportunity to speak at the inaugural Family Adventure Summit, which was held in Penticton, BC (Canada) over Labor Day weekend in 2017.

6 Life Lessons from the Road

6 Life Lessons from the Road

Lessons are found everywhere. They’re found in your home, found in schools, found at jobs, and even found at the grocery store. While you may learn some of these these lessons “at home,” we’ve found that some lessons are well enforced while traveling. 1. Love others for who they are, not who you wish they would be.
