Seven years. Three kids. Countless countries. Courtney and Michael Adamo host Marty and Taryn of Quartier Collective , who have turned family travel into a way of life.

The couple share how their love of travel grew into both a lifestyle and a business—hosting immersive travel and learning programs for families around the world.

They talk about the small rituals and daily rhythms that create a sense of home no matter the location, the challenges (and joys) of raising children in tight spaces, and the adaptability that long-term travel requires. The discussion also explores how their children’s idea of “home” has shifted over the years, and how the family continues to balance individual needs with collective dreams.
