About Us

We're Adam, Linds, and our three girls.

We sold our house, packed five bags, and set off on a one-year trip...

That one year turned into a whole new way of life. We're now full-time travelers, worldschooling our kids, and helping other families do the same.

Our Story

We believe travel is one of the greatest gifts you can give your kids.

The chance to see the world, learn, and grow together. We share real experiences, honest tips, and all the details we wish we had before we went.

2021

The Plan

It started as a crazy idea.

In 2021, while half the world was still figuring out what remote work actually meant, Linds decided she was not going back to an office. Full stop. That opened a conversation we'd been circling for years: what if we just went? We spent the year planning, took two test-run trips to Europe, and on New Year's Eve 2021 we told our families what we were about to do. The reactions were mixed.

2022

The Start

We sailed out of New York on the Queen Mary 2.

May 14, 2022. We'd sold the house, sold most of what was in it, and stood at a Brooklyn pier with five bags and three kids aged 6, 5, and 2. The first seven days were at sea, crossing the Atlantic on the Queen Mary 2. It was equal parts majestic and logistically chaotic, mostly because Harper was too young for the kids club and became our shadow for a week. From Southampton we hit London for the Queen's Jubilee, took the Eurostar to Paris, spent a week in the French Riviera, and worked our way south into Italy. Harper turned three in Lucca. We celebrated ten years of marriage in the same apartment.

2022-2023

Going East

We thought we'd do a year. Then Asia happened.

After Europe we flew to Bangkok on a Saudia Airlines deal that put the whole family in first class lie-flat seats for $2,000. We were supposed to stay a week. We stayed 28 days, and we left with a completely different idea of how to travel. Slow down. Stay longer. Stop ticking boxes. We carried that into Vietnam, Japan, Korea, and the Philippines, then back to Japan, which by then felt more like a second home than a stop on the map.

Finding a Rhythm

An RV across America, then straight to Tokyo.

In May 2023 we drove an RV from Chicago to Las Vegas. Mt. Rushmore, the Grand Tetons, the Grand Canyon, the whole thing. Then we flew to Japan. That trip set the template we still use: long homebases broken up by bigger adventures. We spent months in Osaka, Fukuoka, Bangkok, and Chiang Mai. We did three months in Mexico's Yucatan and then ten days in Taiwan, then settled into Da Nang, Vietnam, where we've now spent nearly 300 days across multiple stays. The girls have friends there. We have a coffee shop the staff know us at. We don't visit Da Nang anymore. We go back to it.

2025-Now

Right Now

Still going. Still figuring it out.

In 2025 we spent three months in Osaka, celebrated Harper's birthday at an elephant sanctuary in Chiang Mai, and ended the year at a Christmas market in Warsaw and on a reindeer sleigh ride in Lapland. We're back in Da Nang now. Later this year we'll cross the Atlantic again, this time on a cruise out of Barcelona, then spend a week with Linds's family at Disney. We've visited more than 33 countries across three continents so far. Japan still wins. The argument for Germany and Italy continues.

Logistics, Tech & Content

On the road I film, edit, write, and do enough freelance software work to keep the whole operation running. The camera and the code editor get roughly equal time, depending on the country and the wifi.
Travel was always part of the plan: my first international trip was at 23, backpacking Europe for a summer, and I somehow convinced Lindsay that our honeymoon should be backpacking Europe again, in the middle of winter. She said yes. That probably tells you everything you need to know about how our decisions get made.

My background is in software engineering. I spent years building products before pointing the same problem-solving at our own travels in May 2022.

Trip Planning & Storytelling

I'm the one who decides where we're headed next and what we'll actually do once we get there. Every itinerary our family has run since May 2022 started with me, and I do the same thing now for other families as a certified Fora Travel advisor.
What I care most about is the stuff that doesn't make the highlight reel: the slow mornings, the market where nobody speaks English, the conversation Cora has with a kid she'll never see again.

I spent years in the corporate world, then left for good when the office tried to call everyone back post-COVID. Now a certified Fora Travel advisor planning trips for families like ours.

Our Girls

Our three daughters have now spent more of their lives abroad than in the US, and they have the passport stamps and the opinions to show for it.

Lily

Our eldest and the one most likely to have already read the Wikipedia article about wherever we're going. Lily takes her worldschooling seriously, keeps a running rank of every country we've visited, and will try anything once, usually before the rest of us have even read the menu.

Cora

Cora is shy until she isn't, and once she decides you're her people, you're her people for life. She's Adam's little ADHD twin, which means the world is either deeply boring or completely fascinating with nothing in between.

Harper

Harper was two years old when we left Indiana and has never really known anything else. She is one of the most loving kids you'll ever meet, and she knows it gives her power. She's the little sister but nobody has told her that, because she's fairly certain she can do anything Lily and Cora can do, usually right now.

Our Core Values

What We Believe

The world is our classroom.

Our kids have learned more from train stations, markets, and getting lost than any worksheet could teach them. Every place has something to show them, and us.

Family time is the best investment.

We gave up a house and most of our stuff to buy time together instead. Four years in, it's still the best trade we've ever made.

It's okay to not have it all figured out.

We rarely know where we'll be in three months, and we've made plenty of mistakes along the way. But our family line says it best: we'll figure it out, we always do.

Kindness goes everywhere.

A smile and a bit of effort in the local language get you further than any guidebook. Kindness is the one thing that translates in every country we've been to.

Let's keep exploring together!
