An inspiring chat with Meghan Oosterhof, a mom of five girls who has navigated adventuring with kids through every stage—babies, toddlers, tweens, and teenage years. Meghan shares her journey from early stroller adventures to multi-day backpacking trips. She chats about how she does certain age birthday trips, one being their trips to the West Coast Trail with their 13-year-old twins.

We also dive into her family’s love for Hawaii (the Big Island) where they have done longer trips (2-4 months). Meghan shares how they made it work: with homeschooling, financially, packing, and why repeat trips are so special.
