About this listen

We are Amanda & Shawn King, hosts of Trying 2 Parent Podcast, & NO we are NOT pregnant JUST YET but we wanted to invite you guys to join us on our adventure as we move out of the country #Mexico, simplify our life’s, have one if not two babies with dual citizenship, & raise our kids to be global citizens. Join us as we explain how over the past year we’ve been trying to get pregnant. We’ll share with you guys the ups the downs, the good, the bad and everything in between because to be honest things haven’t been easy for us, they haven’t been smooth and they definitely haven’t gone as planned. But…. We believe raising a family takes a Tribe. We want to share this journey with y’all because we know much like our story this process of becoming a parent isn’t easy for everyone. So we want the advice from our friends and family who have done it correctly before us. Plus the usual tips and tricks on how not to F!ck things up. And by “things” I mean our kids. To be honest we don’t know exactly what we’re doing which is why we’re asking you to join us as we learn first hand. That starts with trying to convince which we’re pretty good at, and ends with our kids most likely putting us in a home. This will be brutally honest, quite descriptive, & full of attempts at poorly timed humor mostly by Amanda because she’s not the funniest person around. We will be taking listener questions that we are likely... Actually certainly unqualified to answer. But never the less, feel free to send any and all questions over to us @ trying2parentpodcast@gmail.com or on our Facebook at Trying2Parent. If you want to be featured on the show feel free to text in or call and leave a voicemail at (360)-450-5008 This is the start of our new story. We hope you join us for the long ride 🚘🌎 This is the Trying 2 Parent Podcast Let The Games Begin…Amanda & Shawn King Parenting & Families Relationships

    For us, travel isn’t just about vacations — it’s about intentionally designing a life we love.

    In this episode, my wife Amanda and I open up about why traveling as a family has become one of our biggest priorities, and what’s leading us to move abroad to Southeast Asia to raise our kids with more freedom, culture, and time together.

    We dive into:
    🌍 Why travel creates more value than “stuff” ever could🏝️ Why Southeast Asia checks all the boxes for our family goals👶 How we’re raising our son Keanu with values of freedom, curiosity & balance🛫 Why now is the right time to go all-in on the lifestyle we’ve dreamed about

    If you’ve ever thought about moving abroad, embracing digital freedom, or simply living a slower, more intentional life — this one’s for you.

    Sep 29 2025

    Ever wondered how couples actually afford to travel the world full-time, or at least way more than the average family? In this episode, we share exactly how we prioritize travel and make it possible, even while raising a family.

    Here’s what we cover:

    ✅ Living off one income and saving/investing the rest

    ✅ Buying a home with family to keep housing costs low

    ✅ Making travel a non-negotiable priority in our budget

    ✅ Tools we use to score cheap flights like Google Flights & the Going app

    ✅ Our mindset shifts that allow us to travel more without breaking the bank

    Traveling the world isn’t just about having a big paycheck, it’s about making intentional decisions, setting priorities, and using the right resources to stretch your dollars. Whether you dream of long-term travel, family adventures, or just a few extra trips a year, this video will give you some insight on how to make that happen.
