In this first episode of our three-part Travel with Five series, we dive into the mental load of travel planning. From researching flights a year in advance to sprinting through train stations with three kids, we unpack what it really takes to pull off a two-week, seven-country European adventure.
You’ll hear:
- Why backpacks > suitcases when traveling in Europe
- What went wrong (oversold trains, closed attractions, rental car chaos in Paris)
- How balancing kids’ preferences adds to the invisible work of trip planning
- The small steps that make the biggest difference in reducing stress
Whether you’re dreaming of your first big family trip or just trying to plan the next vacation, this episode is packed with travel hacks, lessons learned, and honest stories about the mental load behind the magic.
