Holiday Family Travel with a Drone & More

Many Epic Education Radio guests travel for extended periods of time. Some are gap year travelers, slow travelers or other long-term travelers. Others are trying round-the-world travel or living abroad. However, you don’t have to sell everything and leave town to experience meaningful family travel. Previous guests like Cliff Hsia, Mark Wyld, Eric Stoen all have homes, jobs and kids in school, but when they travel, they make the most of it.
