Stephanie Sailor and her husband Ben just went on their first trip overseas to Greece and Turkey so Ben could run the original marathon in Athens. Also, so that they could finally quench their craving to travel to Europe.
In this episode, we chat with Steph about all things “first-time traveler.” She shares all sorts of advice about how she prepared, including specifics about packing, what books and resources they used and carried with them on the road, what fears she had, what mistakes she made, what surprised her about travel, what she learned about herself, and of course, where they’re planning on going next.
