Hi there, we're Jess and Rod! In 2018 we decided that we wanted to travel more together, so we sold our house (and most of our stuff) and left on a full-time travel adventure with our two kids (ages 2 and 5 at the time). Since then, we've visited more than 50 countries while working as content creators. In this podcast we share stories of our favorite destinations, tips for traveling with kids, and how you can work with travel brands like we do. So come listen in or find us on Instagram @thejetsettingfamily!
