If you’re a mum with school-aged kids, you’ve probably spent countless hours worrying about their education—Are they learning enough? Are they happy? Are they being prepared for the future? I’ve been there too. It’s so easy to feel like education only happens in a classroom, surrounded by desks, whiteboards, and homework. But I’m here to tell you something I’ve learned firsthand: travel can be the best classroom your kids will ever experience.

Life doesn’t always go as planned…

In fact, if you’d told me a few years ago that we’d be living a life of full-time travel, exploring Australia with our four kids, I probably would have laughed!

Back then, we were just trying to keep our heads above water. Stuck in a cycle of stress, survival, and routine.

But sometimes, life has a way of forcing you to stop and rethink everything.

For us, that turning point came after years of challenges, struggles, and one life-changing lightbulb moment that finally made us ask: What do we really want from life?

Here’s how we went from spiraling in stress to embracing a life of adventure—and why it’s been the most rewarding decision we’ve ever made.
