Ever think of packing up and leaving? Let’s face it, many of us have. With all the crazy happening in our country, from gun violence to a lack of affordable housing and healthcare, not to mention an education system that has been sub par, many have dreamed
of packing up the kids and getting out of dodge. And that’s just what our guest did.

Meet David Schnurman, successful entrepreneur and author, “Eleven Suitcases: How Moving Abroad Changed A Family Forever,” who says moving was the best thing he and his family ever did.

Overwhelmed by the grind of raising three young kids in NY, David, the founder and CEO of Lawline, and his wife, Kelli, made a decision in 2019 while sitting at their kitchen table to pack up and move to Barcelona. What followed was a life of unplanned adventure,
from treks in Morocco to mountain escapes in Spain. However, there were multiple challenges, like the lockdown, among others.  But what unfolded changed their family forever – in unexpected ways.

Now back in the States with his family and their eleven suitcases, David talks about their experiences and how it transformed them.

Mimi Nichter, Author, Hostage: A Memoir of Terrorism, Trauma, and Resilience

Mimi Nichter was 20-years-old when she was on TWA flight 741 to JFK after spending her summer on a kibbutz in Israel. But her flight was hijacked and redirected to Jordan where passengers were held captive for six days in unimaginable conditions. Most were
sent home, but Mimi, falsely accused of being an Israeli soldier, was held hostage along with 31 others. This is Mimi’s story of survival and courage as she and the others hostages navigated the uncharted waters of how to stay alive and find their way home.

#Hostage recounts Mimi’s dramatic time as a hostage, her release, and the aftermath of when she returned home. She was never the same, plagued with terrifying memories and PTSD that has haunted her for much of her life. She backpacked across Africa and Asia
trying to release the trauma, but it was only buried deep inside of her until finally, she wrote about it. “Hostage” is her gift to herself and others facing unimaginable circumstances and coming out a survivor.
