The Crash Queen

Education EN ↓ 72 episodes

Our family of four sold most of our belongings and packed our life into a car to travel the United States full time! A crash is a family of rhinos and we aim to embody their traits - bold, tenacious, taking challenges head on. Our course is exploring the United States, one state and one month at a time. We anticipate learning a lot of lessons (“crash courses”) this year - expected and unexpected. I’m the Queen of our Crash and I’m getting pretty good at learning as we go. We’re taking “this show on the road”!
