I spoke with Ivana Peterson, a friend with whom we are currently co-living in Fethiye, Turkey. Ivana is a mother of three children and wife to her husband, Tommy. You can listen to Episode 4 of this podcast if you’d like to hear our first conversation. One thing I appreciate about Ivana and her family is that they are full-time traveling with older children (ages 6, 9, and 12), and they consider each person's needs in their family. It can be easy to embark on a traveling lifestyle with young children who are content as long as they are with their caregivers, but as children age, they have more of a say in where they go and who they want to be with.

We recorded this podcast from our rental home inside the sauna (it was not turned on) while the children and Andy played Minecraft together in the living room. The acoustics were pretty good in the sauna, and I used Adobe's AI Podcasting tool https://podcast.adobe.com/enhance to remove background noise. It also removed our laughter, so there are a few places in the podcast where you don't hear us laughing, but our voices sound jovial when we continue speaking. I then used Audacity to edit the recording, removing a few filler words, an interruption from a child, and the silent places where our laughter was. I used the song Forest Lullaby for the intro and outro tracks from Pixaby.com

I hope you enjoy our conversation.
