An American Family, an English Village Life

Meet Christina Davies. She and her husband Scott wanted to live an English village life, so they found their way to the UK and made it happen. Fast forward a decade or so and they've found their English village life, and a family as well! All four kids were born in England, and the Davies family now have dual citizenship.

In this Epic Education Radio interview, I talk to Christina about English village life and how they achieved it. We discuss how they moved to England, where they live, education in their English village and Christina's tips for travel with young children.

Listen in! And please share!
