A Rebuilding Year

It’s hard to believe we’ve been back for almost 9 months now – time passes so much more quickly when you’ve got bills to pay and schedules to keep!

We’ve really missed sharing our experiences here and will have lots more to talk about on this blog soon – but for now, here’s an update on what we’ve been up to and what’s next:

what we’ve been up to

I guess you can say this is a rebuilding year for us – much of our energy has been focused on building a sustainable income (without resorting to getting a “job”) and repaying the debt we’ve incurred along the way.

We’ve also been adapting to a lifestyle that’s still very different from the one we left a year and a half ago, especially when it comes to the girls’ education. Our philosophy and methods of homeschooling have evolved substantially since our trip, and will probably become the subject of a separate blog in the near future.

what’s next

In the coming months, we’d like to shift the focus of this site from a journal of our own travels & experiences into a resource site for families who want to take a break from the rat race and have some family adventures. If you’re one of those families, please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have, or just leave a comment below and say hi.

For now, most of our travels will be on a much smaller scale than last year, but it won’t be long before we start planning a second world tour. There’s still a lot of world we haven’t seen yet.
