Well, there isn´t a specific reason, there are many. Freedom, adventure, escape, family, time ...

Reasons that evolved with the time of our lives. For us, this world trip is not just a journey - it is a way of life. An attitude that eventually moved us to a trip around the world. My girlfriend and I are traveling all around the globe for more than 10 years together. Always close to nature and interested in foreign cultures. Curious, she, and adventurous, me! 

Immersion in the everyday life of foreign countries. A feeling that probably only travelers can understand. A feeling as if time would stand still - absolute freedom. Yet, this feeling always went by too quickly and before we knew it, the everyday life was again.
4 years ago, our son was born. And somehow everything began with him.
The time was even scarcer than it was - and it was precious. Priorities shifted itself. We wanted to spend as much time with our son as possible, bring him closer to the whole world. Even a world away from our „dream world“. But time is a precious and rare commodity especially, that we are all wasting too careless. Time to focus on the essentials. Time for us, time for our son, time together to discover the beauty of this planet, time to live really!

The idea for the next 10, 20 or 30 years just to continue live as the past 10 years, encouraged us to think about. Not that we have a bad life, but do we really want to live like this? Is this life as we imagine for our family? Hardly likely...
A circumstance that isn´t hard for us to cancel our tents and leave „our world“ for some time. Dipping into new worlds.
When Lennox, our son, was one year old, we traveled with a backpack for almost 5 weeks to Thailand. And again the feeling of freedom came... but this time it was different somehow. Intense and exhausting at the same time. Even financially. A dream destination of us has always been New Zealand. But flights for 3 people and a camper for 2-3 months cost a lot of money. Too much „merely“ for a holiday.

And eventually it fell like scales from the eyes. This time everything should be different. A journey indefinitely, a new phase of life. Independent and free from scheduling constraints. Only we as a family. We want to bring the diversity of the world closer to our son, extend his and our horizons. The ability to have every day something new to discover and experience. The freedom to keep life in your own hands. No dates, no customer conversations. An adventure, compressed to the important things in life for us.
Sounds almost like a little vacation?! Or at least it sounds for many thereafter. But the truth is different. It will be a very resource-efficient and reduced life, effort and challenges will be on the agenda. Living on 12m2 with little privacy and luxury. A simple life. A self-experiment. Find out what you really need to be happy. But as the saying goes:

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone…

Do we grow rich with that? Definitely! Rich in experience, full of lifetime, full of values that are not measurable with money. Expected to 2,5 years in which we are able to see our son grow intensely, to spend time with the family. Experience nature, getting to know new cultures.
