Heading Off: travelling the world with kids

From Afternoons, 1:45 pm today

International travel with children. Just saying that phrase might send some parents into a catatonic state. How about a whole year of overseas travel with kids in tow?

Ella Ewens, husband Darren and their children Isabella and Hugo, both under ten, are currently in Guatemala. Their family expedition will see them visiting 25 countries over 12 months. 

Jesse talks to Ella about the experience and how they manage to not lose their minds.
