Blog posts with a twist…

Our blog posts will detail the emotions, relationships and experiences we live as a family living on the road.

Travelling like we do is a way of life, not simply an extended vacation.

As such, the pace of travel is very different to a usual trip away.

The individual needs of each of us must be recognised and met, otherwise our day-to-day life simply will not work.

The blog details our physical journey from place to place, but also our own personal and familiar journey’s along the way.

    Do Something That You Love

    While travelling through Peru and Ecuador, we had met quite a few fellow travellers. Often we would share details about where we had been, stories of life on the road, and future plans for the…

  • Cauca Roadblocks

    Cauca Roadblocks

    In many places in South America (and the world over for that matter), indigenous people often struggle to get their voices heard with local and national authorities. Try as they might, those in power frequently…

  • Flexibility Is A Must

    Flexibility Is A Must

    After more than nine month travelling with two young children, we have learned quite a lot. We have learned more about mechanics than we had in a lifetime. We have learned that travelling slower works…

  • Mas y Mas Amigos!

    Mas y Mas Amigos!

    We will remember our time very fondly in Ecuador. We loved the amazing fruit, literally falling off the trees all around. We loved the warmth of the people on the roads who waved and beeped…

  • Rubbish, Rubbish & More Rubbish

    Rubbish, Rubbish & More Rubbish

    Rubbish, litter, trash, garbage. Call it what you will, it still means the same thing. I have had the good fortune to travel in many parts of the world, including some parts of the developing…
