Experiencing the world together as a family

A journal of our family travels for our kids who might not remember them and for others who might be inspired by them.

We're just an ordinary Australian family of 5 who have decided to downsize their life to travel the world. We've sold the house, the majority of our belongings and now the countdown is on to our departure in February 2019.

Here we will share our adventures of family travel with young kids. Aged 6, 4 and 3- the mother hen with a heart of gold, the want to be stunt boy who will give everything a go and the animal loving barefoot wanderer.

After 6 years of living the FIFO life, spending so much time apart, we are throwing ourselves in to the complete opposite, with many months planned sharing a motorhome. Can't get much tighter quarters than that for a family of 5! Wish us luck!

Destinations- Kenya, Tanzania, UK, Netherlands....and more!

Ex-Army, ex-FIFO, fixer of all broken things, maker of stuff and smoked meat enthusiast. Realised that the school-> job-> family-> work-butt-off until retirement was not the right formula for him. Why spend the best years of your life working in hope that you will still have good health to achieve everything else you want to do in retirement? One life, living it.
