Exploring Northern Michigan & Chicago, IL

We are Ben, Kelly and Liesel. We sold everything to travel the world and bond as a family. This episode is from our last week in the USA where we visited family in Chicago and Michigan! This is our final episode before we begin our round the world journey!

For the last 6 weeks we've been spending our time touring our home state of Michigan (aka the Mitten State, high five!). We've been enjoying time and boding with family before we ship out to see the rest of the world. In this episode we talk about our adventures in the northern Michigan town of Harbor Springs and enjoy some rooftop pool partying (child friendly of course) in Chicago!

Let's recap: We've quit our career jobs. We've sold our 1st home. Now we're getting started on a journey around the world to spend more time with our daughter, develop new careers, and redefine our lives.
