Ep. 10 How to travel the world as a solo mom with Evie Farrell
When Evie Farrell’s close friend died of cancer, she realized that life really is too short. So, she quit her job to travel the world with her daughter Emmie.
For over 20 years, Evie Farrell of mumpacktravel lived a conventional life until the death of a close friend allowed her to re-evaluate her life and how she has been spending it with her daughter Emmie.
