Description

Family of 4, 2 boys 10&12 are taking a year off to engage with our passions, connect and support other hardworking passionate families and communities doing what they love. My wife and I have travelled and worked in more than 70 countries combined. Our kids have spent significant time in 7 different countries over the last 10yrs of their lives, traveling and adapting to new environments as a family is second nature. We are hoping to find work away locations where the kids can be with other kids and engage in life on the land with other good souls.
