My family and I returned in May 2013 from almost a year-long adventure traveling the world. We visited over twenty countries and six continents. We have two kids who were 10 and 14 at the time and we lived our dream. It has changed the way we look at life.
The truth is if you asked me three years ago if we could do this kind of trip I think we all would have said “no”. We were the typical American family. We were over-scheduled, over-indulged and way too busy to take a year off. There was no way our jobs, the kids’ sports, or our life would allow us to “up and leave”. Amazingly, once we made the decision to go – everything fell into place.
The specifics of why we chose to go and how we did it are in another blog. And truthfully they are unimportant to you. Every family’s reasons for going, how to go and where to go will be unique. Just like parenting choices, buying clothes or decorating your house. We have different styles of travel. There isn’t a “right way”. BUT traveling with your family is good. The benefits are plenty. Finding a way to make it priority and to make it happen will pay off. It will be the best decision you ever made.
This is why I am starting this blog. I am here to motivate and charge you with taking the first step. I want you to just say you are interested in traveling with your kids. Then help you find the way to make it fit with your lifestyle.
There are plenty of websites that will give you the “how to’s” and connect you to the people who have done it. I will help you navigate them. I will get help you stay motivated. I just want you to reach the point where you say “I CAN DO IT!”
We did it. You can too. You don’t need to do it the way we did. Just use us as an interesting story that motivates you. I’ll tell you a bunch more and maybe, hopefully you’ll find your own path!
