Nestled in the vibrant heart of San Miguel de Allende, Rita and I have found a rhythm to life that pulses with the local flair—and yes, even an encounter with Montezuma's revenge. But it's the stories that we're really excited to share with you, particularly those from Jennifer M. Sparks, who swapped her rocket scientist badge for a passport to nearly 50 countries. Join us as we explore Jennifer's transformative odyssey from childhood dreams to bulldozer rides in Africa, and how her wanderlust has been a constant compass guiding her incredible journeys.

The essence of slow travel doesn't just reshape landscapes; it remolds family life too. We unravel the tale of a couple whose overland quest through the Americas became a philosophy, birthing a book to guide the travel-hungry souls among us. Their transition from nomadic bliss to parenthood didn't put the brakes on their travels; it fueled adventures through Mexico with their son, reinforcing the bond with locals in places where family is paramount. And if you've ever wondered how wandering the world with little ones in tow might look, we're dishing up some hearty food for thought.

Now, let's get practical. The RV life can be as freeing as the open road, but do you rent or do you buy? We've been there, weighed the costs, and have tales to share about the liberating life of camper van travel. Jennifer weighs in with her expertise, straight from the pages of her book "Slow Travel – Escape the Grind and Explore the World," and together we muse on giving our children not just roots but also wings. So hop in, buckle up, and let's embark on a journey of discovery that just might inspire your next great adventure.
