We are just coming off of a year-long trip WITHOUT kids and so much of this rang true for us! No matter how old you are, stability & routine are REALLY helpful, and something we sorely missed during our travels. We also missed having a comfy couch SO MUCH! That’s our 1st major purchase now that we’ve settled back into the real world 🙂

In reply to Yashy. Three months of travel annually with some monthly trips in between sounds awesome! I hope you'll find your balance soon!

Enjoyed reading your honest views and experiences of long term travel so far. I do not think I am made for it, but sounds like it could also be interested. ❥ tanvii.com

In reply to Lisa - FlipFlopGlobetrotters.com. Sorry to hear about your MIL. I am curious to see how we adjust to life back home.. I think a 3 month annual travel stint with quick monthly trips in between may be the right balance for us. Let's see!

It’s always great to read an honest piece about family travel! It’s definitely not all sunshine and rainbows, that’s for sure 🙂 We did a 10-month trip with our 17-month old 1,5 years ago and it was awesome, but challenging as well. We also traveled without any planning and I do recognise the stress of spending hours and hours researching your next destination and not being able to get any work done. Next time we’ll definitely try slow travel! Both of us didn’t have any desire to go back home again however (we had to because my mother in law is quite ill) and long to travel full time again with our son. Hopefully someday…. Enjoy the last month of your trip! Happy & safe travels!

In reply to Ariana. Yes... as amazing as travel is, there's also the downsides and that's true whether we have kids along, or not. Thanks for stopping by!

This is a great post!!! We’ve travelled a lot and sometimes it is not all that it is cracked up to be, so its nice to sometimes also read some honest stuff, that is not 100% positive.

In reply to Dianne Sivulka. Thank you Dianne. As with everything in life there's the good and the bad, right?
