MAKING FAMILY LIFE ON THE ROAD WORK

A FAMILY LIFE IN MOTION

We’re documenting the messy, beautiful reality of our family’s life on the road, from navigating the logistics of the Andaman coast with kids to the quiet lessons we’ve learned on Himalayan trails. 

We don’t have it all figured out, but we’re sharing our notes, routes, and worldschooling strategy along the way. If you’re dreaming of your own family escape, or just want to see how we manage the daily chaos of long-term travel, we’re glad to have you along for the journey..

Mike, Kat, Isobel, Henry, and Charlie

KHAO LAK, THAILAND

This week we visit, and then run away from, the stretch of resorts around Khao Lak, on Thailand’s Andaman Coast. That’s good news, though. It turns out, if you know where to look, you can find some of the quietest, most beautiful beaches even on this very well traveled stretch of the country. Come along and we’ll show you where.
