E14. This Big Road Trip Around the World with Claire and James Young

Joining me today are two people who took a life changing leap of faith to pursue their dreams. Claire and James Young are UK-expats who sold their physical possessions at home in Kelowna, Canada in order to drive around the world in a truck and camper.

They are the crew behind This Big Road Trip, a website and social media account created to document this epic endeavour. Claire and James share insights on acquiring and preparing a vehicle up to the task for this ambitious undertaking, memorable experiences along the way and what their future holds as the journey continues.
