Episode Details

What happens when you travel to more than 120 countries together… and stay married? 

In this episode of Travel Time Stories, we sit down with John and Ann Cinnamon — a couple who have traveled to all seven continents, all 50 U.S. states, and more than 120 countries around the world. 

Their documentary, Journey on the Trans-Siberian Railway, aired on PBS stations nationwide, and their newest book, Travel Is No Vacation: A Love Story, shares the honest, unfiltered reality of what life on the road is really like. 

In this conversation, we explore: 

🌍 What it takes to travel the world as a couple 

🚂 Behind the scenes of the Trans-Siberian Railway journey 

💍 How travel tests — and strengthens — a marriage 

✈️ The difference between vacation and true travel 

🌎 Lessons learned from visiting over 120 countries 

❤️ What keeps their partnership strong after decades of adventure 

Travel isn’t always glamorous. It’s exhausting. It’s unpredictable. It’s sometimes uncomfortable. But for John and Ann, it’s also been the foundation of a shared life filled with connection, perspective, and purpose. 

If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing the world — or wondered whether you could travel long-term with your partner — this episode offers inspiration and honesty in equal measure.
