Meet Andrew, Brenda and Bailey Tolentino, a family of three from New York City now in the midst of an indefinite journey around the world. Andrew and Brenda traveled a lot before their daughter was born, and when their careers hit a snag, they decided to leave the Big Apple and take Bailey to see more of the world.
Starting Out, Family Travel Gear & more
Their first stop was Hong Kong, and then on to the Philippines, where both Andrew and Brenda spent their childhoods. I caught up with Andrew in Boracay, early on in their indefinitely family travel journey. Listen in as we discuss family travel gear, Ernest Hemingway, pirates and more.
