What 7 months of full time travel has taught us.

What has travelling full-time as a family for seven months actually taught us? In this video, Richard joins me to reflect on what has changed since we left the UK, sold our home and started travelling full-time with our two children. This isn't really a travel guide or a recap of the countries we've visited. It's more about what happens when you step away from the life you've always known. We talk about leaving work, money and the fear of not knowing what's next, learning to live with less, finding new hobbies, community on the road, trusting our own decisions, slowing down, choosing where to go next and discovering that there might be another way to live. We've also learned plenty of practical lessons along the way — from accommodation and budgeting to visas, weather and planning our route. Seven months in, we definitely don't have all the answers, but we have learned that life doesn't have to look the way we once thought it did. Maybe the biggest lesson? There is more than one way to live life. If you're considering doing something completely different with your own life, we'd love to hear what you're thinking about in the comments.
