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..

KORAT PLATEAU, THAILAND

The most difficult episode we’ve ever made, because it’s our last one in Thailand (at least for now). The final leg of our Isan road trip takes us through the southern edge of the Korat Plateau, where we explore the incredible ruins of the ancient Khmer empire at site like Phanom Rung and Prasat Sikhorapum. Then, sadly, our three wonderful years in Thailand come to a close.

But, silver lining, we finally begin the Big Trip. It’s going to be incredible, so do follow along!


WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GO TODAY?

From our exact routes to the practical realities of keeping a family on the road, we’re sharing everything we’ve figured out so far.
