Augmented Reality Takes Storytelling to New Dimensions featuring Erika Bud with Big World Publishing

In this episode, we speak with children's book author Erica Bud of Big World Publishing. She takes us on her journey into entrepreneurship, her passion for educating children about different cultures, and her innovative use of augmented reality (AR) technology in her books.
About Our Guest:
International travel is Erika’s passion. She started traveling overseas when she was 18 years old, working as an Au Pair. Since then, Erika has traveled to over thirty countries, living in both Spain and Australia. She loves embracing new cultures—eating new foods, learning about the history of the country, seeing remarkable architecture and sites, and meeting interesting people. Erika shares this passion with her son, who already had two stamps in his passport by the age of five and can’t wait to go to the next country.
Erika started the Travel Rangers book series and Planes, Trains, & Kids Abroad travel podcast because she hopes to ignite a passion for travel abroad in both children and adults. She wants to teach them about the fascinating cultures throughout the world and the many diverse perspectives shared by the wonderful people of this world that make it such an amazing place to live.
