Hey there! We’re Adam and Linds, and this is our little crew: Lily, Cora, and Harper.

Back in May 2022, we made a decision that changed everything. We sold our house, our cars, pretty much everything we owned, and left the U.S. to travel the world full-time with our kids. No plan to return, no fixed address, just a family of five chasing experiences, not stuff.

Since then, we’ve explored 23+ countries across Asia, Europe, and North America. We’ve lived in the coastal city of Da Nang in Central Vietnam, spent months getting to know different parts of Japan (we’ve been back at least six times now), hiked ruins in Greece, relaxed in biergartens in Germany, and eaten street food in more cities than we can count. Right now, we’re posted up in Chiang Mai, Thailand; enjoying the slower rhythm, eating our weight in Khao Soi, and planning our next move.

Along the way, we’ve built a life we love around learning, filming, and sharing. Our [YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@adamandlinds?ref=adamandlinds.com) has grown into a place where we document our travels and show what worldschooling (educating our kids through real-world experience) actually looks like. We’ve written travel guidebooks to help families explore affordably, and Linds is now a certified travel advisor, helping others plan unforgettable trips of their own.

This blog is where we’ll share the stuff that doesn’t make it into the videos, behind-the-scenes stories, honest reflections, tips for long-term family travel, worldschool ideas, and thoughts on building a life that doesn’t follow the script.

We’re not influencers. We’re just a family figuring it out as we go. If anything we share helps you take a trip, try something new, or even just laugh, then it’s worth it.

Thanks for being here.

– Adam & Linds
