When we found out that we were pregnant and decided that we wanted to have our baby abroad, we went in search of resources where people were talking about what it was like to have a baby in another country and found very little. This is one of the reasons that Amanda was super excited to be a guest on Nomadtopia Radio with Amy Scott talking about having a baby abroad.There are a lot of decisions to make when it comes to starting a family as a nomad. Your priorities change, you have to plan differently, you might miss some adventures. There’s no question that having a baby changes your nomad experience.

In this episode that originally aired on Nomadtopia Radio, Amy interviews Amanda. Amanda shares their experience planning for and shifting into this next phase, deciding when to stop traveling and where to give birth, balancing their child’s needs with their nomadic lifestyle, and much more.
