We are doing full time travel with no kids, it's so inspiring to see families doing this. I wish my family did more travelling when I was a kid. Thanks for sharing, look forward to following your journey!
The WHY!! Yes...the WHY keeps you focused, calms your anxiety, and gets you back on the road. The WHY gets you past the criticism, smashes your doubts, and brings a smile back to your face. The WHY puts you back in the moment and enables you to create the memories that this life can and should be full of...the WHY is where the love for your family trumps everything else, and when your kids see and hear and feel the WHY coming from their parents, their fears are gone and their confidence, natural curiosity and enthusiasm for life will take them to new and better places. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, you get this whole "why" thing! Love it! We stick to our why like crazy when we have conflict or need to make a big decision. Thanks for your support.
So love this. We are an Aussie family of 5 and moved to India 2.5 years ago. We also sold up everything and took the leap. I home school our three boys and we travel.....it’s amazing! It took us 18 months to feel really transitioned to our new life. We live in a footprint not even quarter of the size of our home in Aus. No hot water in our kitchen, gas bottle attached to a mobile cooktop and no oven😜and certainly no creature comforts but it works. We are so much closer! My highlight.....my boys talking broken Hindi to the locals. I so hear everything you were saying in this video!
Amanda Bradley it’s amazing what being close to everyone does to the unit. When we first moved to Costa Rica, we had a 2 bedroom apartment, but we all decided to sleep in the same room, because it was big enough. That was the perfect way to start our travel life. Snug in a room knowing that we would always have each other. We love India 🇮🇳. We spent several weeks in Chennai and it was such a changing experience. We hope to go back for a while in the next couple of years. All the best. Will
Such a breath of fresh air hearing someone talk about the difficulties of travelling as well as the bonuses. You are both so engaging and seem so lovely and genuine xx
Thanks G! The truth is the only way to tell it. If we presented it as all rainbows and unicorns that would not be fair to those who follow in our footsteps. Knowledge of the reality is key.
These are great tips. We love to join home school groups and even join them on Facebook before we visit that area to hear the best places to see AND homeschoolers always know how to see things discounted!
Maria - Thank you so much for featuring us on your channel. We absolutely love this travel life and the way that we are doing it with less. The kids give their best. Hopefully our paths will cross in real time in the next couple of years.
It was a lot of fun, thank you so much for doing this with us:) I hope so bad you will come visit when you come to Denmark, we only live 1 hour from legoland;) Hugs:)
This is by far one of the best videos I have watched from another family similar to ours. We have just begun our around the world journey as a family of 4 (2 girls 11 and 9). Switched up our whole life, sold it all to travel because we were just sick of the rat race, not being fulfilled and constantly chasing the wrong thing. There are tons of other travel families out there producing great videos but I love the honest reality given in this one. We all obviously want to show everyone the great moments but I love that they also want to show how things can often not be ideal and downright difficult at times too. This is exactly what we want to do with the videos we make of our own journey. I'll definitely be hopping over to their channel to see more from them + will be watching for more great videos here too. Thank you!
Thank Chiang Gang! Congrats on your travel journey. Yes, come on over to our channel and join the fun. Good luck with your videos. They are so much fun to make.
I hadn't seen this video of yours, but was confused for a minute thinking this thumbnail doesn't match, lol. I've enjoyed seeing some of Worldtowning's recent videos on the Camino. We are a full time traveling family also. We travel with our 4 kids and left the states June 2017. We are currently in Thailand.
What a lovely surprise to see my favourite u tube travelling family,they are all amazing and show the most incredible experiences.do yourselves a favour and sub to their channel.i have been following them for 6 or so months and what a beautiful, witty ,friendly, honest family they are.
Thanks Jamie! They love it, except on cold days! Darn it is cold in Europe! Thanks for your support. Right now none of us can imagine doing anything else. I guess this is officially our "new" normal.
Thanks for your support Hazel. The little one is a boy who loves his long hair. He prides himself on saying it has not been cut since we started traveling, minus a trim here and there. Yes, the experiences are cool, plus traveling with kids makes is so much fun. They see things we don't as adults and they keep us young(ish).
Jessica Sueiro Hi again, sorry for calling your delightful son a girl Forgive me. Tell him from me to keep his hair long - it is great. Am a new sunscriber and will enjoy bimge watching your past vlogs. Greetings from Switzerland.
Not a problem at all. It happens often to him, but he is comfortable with his hair and just kindly corrects people. Thanks for the sub! We loved our time in Switzerland, what a beautiful country.
So inspired to have found your video. What a beautiful family you have and I think my kids would benefit from a traveling lifestyle and homeschooling. Looking forward to more videos.
Hello! Thanks for following us! Yes, come travel. We are not perfect parents, but we do think adding travel to our lifestyle was one of the better decisions we have made for our family. If you have any questions about how we make it happen feel free to reach out to us.
It's too hard to fake being happy when it's not real. Being on the road bring out all the realities of who you are. There is no escaping to an office. It's a good thing that we all like each other. ;)
Christina Marie we gave our push for one main reason, the kids. They are our “Why”. It’s not easy every day, but our Why keeps us going in good times and bad. Thanks for the praise.
We are looking to start this life this fall. One question we are trying to workout is the visa issue. How do you stay in a country for a year? Freelance visa?
Justin Pratt hello! We have a French Long Stay Visa. If you hop over to our channel we have a video that explains the process. Definitely do this lifestyle! It is so worth it!
I have so many questions, what homeschool program do you use ? How much money did you start off with ? How do you earn money whike traveling, I really wanna do this travel life !
Hey just found your video watching other TH-cam channels love your channel just subscribed check out my TH-cam I think you'd like it very family oriented
We use IMG Global for our health insurance. Many travelers roam without it because medical is inexpensive outside of our home country, but this is not our path.
Absolutely. Great question and one we get often. One of the many reasons we started traveling was for the social aspect. We wanted the kids to have friends outside of their race, age and gender. So far it has been a grand success. They still keep in touch with their friends back in the US, as well as do meet-ups with them along the way. They make friends at schools they have attended in various countries. And they have made friends at campgrounds, with other traveling families, with seniors, with fur friends and much more. We are a very social family and believe in building local community wherever we go. Often it takes a lot of effort and entertaining, but we believe the friends we all make along the way enrich the experience tremendously.
the title is a bit misleading, they haven't travelled for 4 years, they moved to other countries for a year each and now are doing a year of travelling, also it's funny/sad how some people are called "expats" and others are migrants or immigrants. Moving to another country can easy or it can be hard depending on your expectations and it's usually harder for people that have high expectation & are used to luxury.
DanceswiththeDarkSide, I disagree. It's all how you look at it. My family has a similar lifestyle, but we very much consider ourselves travelers. Even though we are only SEMInomadic in that we stay in one place a while, we do so as travelers. While living in Berkeley, we visited every Bay Area tourist attraction. We are travelers, as are these folk.
Hello Dances. I guess it depends on what your definition of full-time travel is. We have been living outside the US for over 4 years immersing in various cultures, languages and food with an ever changing roof/walls, to us this is full time travel. However, we try not to get too caught up on the lingo, but rather enjoy and learn as we move about the world. As for high expectations and luxury, well, I would not say we were used to luxury (not rich), but we did come from a first would country, yes. However, our difficulties related more to completely changing our life, relationships, education style, etc in our 40s which is never easy. I would never compare us to immigrants going to a country with the clothing on our backs. I can't imagine and I continue to have immense respect for these individuals.

Thank Nichi! Like any lifestyle there are ups and downs, we could not share it authentically if we did not share both. Thanks for your kind words.
THANK YOU for speaking TRUTH to your travel experiences, sharing the good, the bad, the difficult, the awesome! You guys are so inspiring!!!
Thanks G! The truth is the only way to tell it. If we presented it as all rainbows and unicorns that would not be fair to those who follow in our footsteps. Knowledge of the reality is key.

This is amazing. What a great experience for the kids to grow up in a life full of travel!

Thanks for sharing about your experience, the good and the bad. We hope to follow in your footsteps and be full-time travelers someday!
Awesome! Yes, do it! Best decision ever.
Loved this Maria. What a great couple and two gorgeous girls.

I love this!! Life is all about family and experiences!! Good for you guys!!👏❤
Glad you're honest about, living on the road with a family.

This is such an incredible family! Would love to do this with my family in the future :) Good for them, living out their dreams!

Thanks so much Libby. Nice to meet you!

Thank you Jane! Some days it is beautiful and some days are a hot mess, but all days are living our dream which makes "dumping the poop" worth it. Ha.
This is great!
Great video :)
