24: Moms, You Can Travel the World, with Tanai Benard
It’s no secret that traveling with your kids is one of the best ways to expose them to the world and all its cultures. But for some of us, that just doesn’t always seem possible. We have financial challenges, scheduling challenges, limited vacation days, and on and on. There are many reasons why traveling just doesn’t seem practical or possible. Our guest today never imagined herself as a world traveler. She was stuck in a cycle of living paycheck to paycheck and being unable to ever get ahead. That’s when she heard about a job overseas that might allow her to live a little more freely.
Tanai Benard is a mom of three kids who lives in Abu Dhabi in the UAE. She calls her family 4 Deep Around the World, and they spend as much time as they can exploring new places from Paris to the Philipines. Tanai has found a way to live her dream and change her life, and now she’s encouraging other moms to take the travel plunge. But she doesn’t say you have move around the world to do it. Even traveling up the road to a nearby city or natural landmark is okay by her. As long as you are exploring, you are learning and growing, and that’s what travel is all about.
Listen in as we talk about how she made the big move overseas, what her family thought about her move, what a day looks like in Abu Dhabi, how her kids have reacted to the move, her philosophy on travel, and where she’s been lately. You’ll also find out more about her Facebook Group: The Wandering Moms, and where she’s headed next.
