The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast with Ginny Yurich

I had a blast joining Ginny Yurich on The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast to talk about something I truly believe in: family, adventure, and the kind of learning that happens when you step out of your comfort zone together. In this episode, we explore how travel — whether near or far — becomes one of the richest classrooms a family can have, and why grabbing the opportunities for adventure when they arise is worth it.

We touch on how our kids learn so much more than geography when they experience new places (from confidence and problem-solving to curiosity and connection), and I share some of the ways our family has made travel possible on a budget without sacrificing meaningful experiences. We also dive into what happens when you integrate languages and culture into your everyday life — not only while you’re abroad, but in the rhythms of home.

This conversation isn’t just practical — it’s hopeful. If you’ve ever felt like adventure is for someone else or wondered how to make the most of the time you have with your kids, this episode will leave you inspired to say “yes” a bit more often, to notice the learning all around you, and to lean into the joyful mess of real-life education.
