Caz Makepeace is one of the preeminent voices on creating a life of travel, along with her husband Craig, over at Y Travel Blog. Together, Caz and Craig describe themselves as serial travelers, adventurers of the outdoors, and lovers of sports and mojitos. They hold onto these titles with their two young girls, and that's part of why I love so much what they do. They dispel so many preconceived notions about the impossibility of travel with children.

Y Travel Blog is one of the biggest travel blogs in Australia, where they share their travel stories and family adventures with 300,000 visitors a month and featured on National Geographic, Lonely Planet, and many more. On this episode, Caz shares what a travel life means to her, how she's able to do it with her husband and young family, and shatters the idea that travel is no longer possible for parents.
