This interview marks a significant milestone for the Sharing Passion and Purpose Podcast - its episode 200! 

I’m so happy to mark it with Ashley Campbell! 

When Ashley first read about a family who spent a year traveling the world, she couldn’t shake the thought: What if we did that? Over the next eighteen years, she and her husband, Chris, made choices in saving — both big and small — with that dream in mind. In 2022, they finally set out with their five children on a year-long global adventure, living on a tight budget but rich in experiences. From wandering quiet streets and sharing meals at tiny tables, to joining pickup basketball games in city parks, Ashley found beauty in the everyday moments that made each place feel like home. Her journey wasn’t just about seeing the world — it was about slowing down, being fully present, and letting connection and curiosity lead the way.

During this visit you’ll learn what it was really like to turn a long-held dream into a reality, how a year away reshaped her family’s perspective, and why the smallest moments often ended up leaving the biggest impact. She also shares her best budget travel tips, the story behind her new book I’ve Never Been Here Before, and what’s next for her adventurous crew.
