The Year That Changed Everything (One Year of Travel)
We have spent the last full year traveling around the world as a family. The year started with selling everything we own in order to pursue traveling full time living out of our self converted sprinter van and ended with us enjoying a day at Disney with our friends from Flying the Nest. Everything that has happened in the last full year of travel has completely reshaped our lives and we will never be the same.
After quitting our jobs and selling our home, we jumped straight into living out of our van. Van life as a family of four proved to be rather challenging, but we quickly got into the swing of things and made some precious memories during these first few months.
We made the difficult decision to leave van life for international travel and kicked off a two month trip around Mexico, including spending 1 month in Isla Mujeres. After Mexico, we headed to Turkey and spent nearly two months road tripping around most of Turkey. Next up, we spent the winter in Finland, then in Romania, before finally celebrating Christmas in Estonia. After this long cold winter, we decided to warm things up a bit by heading to Costa Rica for a month. And then as we were traveling back from Costa Rica we ended up meeting up with our friends at Disney.
This last year has been such a blur and we decided to honor this time period with a full recap of the last year of travel.

Hi! We are Heather, Bradey, Alexa and Chloe.
We are raising our kids to face their fears, to step outside of their comfort zones and to try new things. Family travel is the best way we know how to do this.
We want to inspire others to travel with an open mind and to see that it is completely possible to travel and fly with kids! Traveling is one of the best things we have ever done to strengthen our family, and to open up our minds about how big this world is.
Thanks for following along!

Welcome to Australia.❤
"The house is a building, and the home is your family." Nice, this is what I learned many years ago, "Home is not where you live, home is where you are among family, friends, and loved."
I am in Tasmania so if you come would love to meet you all. Really enjoyed your wrap up of the year.
What a fantastic year you have all had. Would love to see you when you are in Australia, we live on the Gold Coast, you must come up!! 🙂
Love you guys! Heather, if you pop over to New Zeland raise a toast to Viggo for me 😉
That was beautiful. I'm sending you love and light for all your future journeys. Australia is a beautiful, vast land of colourful and striking landscapes. Enjoy your time there. Maybe you will even get to New Zealand 👍 Safe travels.

Hello from NZ! I'm a new follower so this was an awesome recap video to find out more about your travels! We are dreaming of doing the same thing (full time travel), but just sharing our backyard adventures for now 😊
Since I'm new to the channel this was a great video to watch. Seems like you packed a lot into the last year. Hopefully this year is just as exciting 🙂
Very nice family ❤️❤️❤️

Yes!! It’s so fun and emotional looking back! Thank you! We are still working through our plans for the year but hopefully we can make it to New Zealand!! We would love that!!
Can you do a video on logistical tips? We have a 2 and 4yo and are not sure how to make travel work. How do you manage inevitable kid bad moods? Entertain on road trips? Ensure accommodation is suitable when looking on airbnb? Logistical tips would be really helpful thanks!
Australia! Can't wait.
Gudlak more yrs God bless
