Question: Why are you doing this?
Answer: There are so many good reasons to travel the world as a family. Besides the fact that travel is awesome, we want to know God and make him known around the world, connect as a family, experience culture together, and learn about the world in a practical way.
Question: Are you rich?
Answer: Not at the moment. We’ve saved, budgeted, made sacrifices, and planned carefully for years. This is a faith-and-hard-work adventure, with the occasional hint of luxury.
Question: How long have you been planning this?
Answer: Since 2020 technically, but from the first “what if” thoughts and conversations, it’s closer to 2017.
Question: How are you doing this?
Answer: Still figuring out some details as we go (life with seven people is unpredictable!). We’re focusing on slow travel, staying longer in places to keep costs down and really soak in the culture. We rent homes/apartments when possible, cook a lot, and prioritize experiences over fancy hotels.
Question: Where are you going?
Answer: We’re taking it month by month with flexibility but the first half of the year is more structured than the second half. We are starting in Hawaii (January) and then heading to New Zealand for a 5-month missionary journey with Youth With a Mission. We’ll share the route as it unfolds on the blog and YouTube. We are trying to remain open to where God leads.
Question: Are the kids in school?
Answer: We’re handling education through worldschooling—learning through travel, daily life, reading, projects, and some structured resources. It’s hands-on and tailored to each child. But, yes, they are enrolled in a homeschool.

Question: Any tips for families thinking about something similar?
Answer: Start small, pray a lot, talk it through as a family, save consistently, and don’t wait for everything to be perfect. The journey itself teaches you more than the planning ever will.
