Travelling the world with kids. Because family life can still be an adventure!
We are a family of four from just outside Sheffield in the UK. We have always loved to travel – and we decided that having kids wasn’t going to stop us!
From regular campervan trips in the UK and Europe to exploring the world on our family gap year – we’re finding ways to adventure travel as a family. Without selling everything we own or leaving our regular lives behind!
We breakdown the cost of world family travel in our budgeting posts, chat through the realities of world schooling and share our insights in to all the practical planning information you might need.
