Do you have what it takes?
Honestly, it’s not all instagrammable. It can be tough. In the first year we often miss budgeted, We still make all kinds of mistakes. We are constantly questioned if we were doing the right thing for ourselves and the children. We’ve had days where we really didn’t know how to move forward, but then that was also true of 9-5 life.
The difference is, when I look back on our first year of travelling, I have more memories than I do from the 5 years of school runs and jobs.
I have a closer relationship with my children. Keri and I feel more like a team than ever.
It has definitely been worth it.
Sometimes the negatives feel overwhelming at the time, but they never feel as big looking back. Life has a funny way of picking up and polishing the good memories so it’s worth risking some bad ones. You’ll remember swimming in the sea at sunset or discovering something new with your child. You’ll forget how frustrated you were that the kids were whinging about getting their shoes on beforehand.
Your memory won’t differentiate doing the same school run and work routine for another year.
If we showed you how to solve the big obstacles, like work and school, would you travel right now?
If not, Would it be fair to say, the little uncertainties about travel life might stop you from taking action?
We don’t want to present this ideal Instagram life of travelling. We don’t want to pretend we’re some kind of super parents, we’re not. I look terrible in a bikini and some days we can be a bit grumpy.
We don’t whip the cameras out when we’re having tantrums and disasters or family drama and to be honest when we’re having a really high moment we tend to just be in it.
We do want to give you a realistic look at the ups and downs of travelling with a family, so you can give yourself permission to take action.
We want to show you we’re just normal people, with normal problems finding a way to make life a little more… of an adventure…
If we can, so can you.
