Great insight into the ups and downs of world travel with a family
The Williams do a great job of explaining the journey of their one year family trip. They take you along the process of having an idea/dream to how to make it happen. I loved all the tips and realities of extended travel with children. Matt and Claire are very relatable and make it fun with good laughs along the way.
A must listen!!!

I’m Packing My Bag
The Williams’s World Rounded Podcast is a celebration of travel adventure and family experiences. As the world began reopening after COVID began calming down, Claire and Matt decided to realize a long term goal of traveling around the world as a family. As a family they decide to take a gap year to travel the world.
The gap year is over and the trip was accomplished with only a few hiccups. Most importantly the Williams are still together stronger than ever with so many memories of a fantastic year traveling the world together. The podcast gives insight into how they did it. World Rounded is a must listen whether you want to your family to travel around the world or are taking a weekend cruise. The goal is to get out there. Go do it! Make memories together.
