S2E16 The French Family (Australian Caravan Adventure) Reaching for the Middle
-
- Self-Improvement
Michael and Krystal French, and their three boys sold their Queensland home, packed up, and loaded themselves and few meagre belonging into a caravan with the goal of travelling across Australia for a year.
I caught up with them on the midway point of their journey, in Port Arthur Tasmania. We spoke about the Why’s, Where’s and How’s of their caravan adventure, what it’s like with three young boys in such a small space, Krystal’s gift for creating engaging social media content (@cyancaravan), whether she’ll return to work as a flight attendant, how Michael has turned his safety (SQE) background into a lucrative business on wheels, and how two strong personalities create balance in a relationship.
