Life on the road as a couple AND raising a kid

Life you don’t need a holiday from

Living in the 21st century opens up a lot of opportunities, the most important one being that we are in an age where you can create your own job if you can’t find a regular occupation that brings you happiness. Work shouldn’t feel like work. Or at least you should be able to wake up with excitement to start the day. That’s exactly why we started this project, because it was the perfect recipe to combine all our passions into a business that would truly bring us joy. So our simple advice is: don’t wait until the perfect job comes along, but figure out what you love to do and persist in finding a way to turn it into sustainable income. That might mean you have to travel for a while with an open mind trying out whatever brings you closer to your goal or it could mean taking the risk to follow your dreams and dare to commit to what makes you happy, even if that means you won’t make a lot of money at the end of the day. or it doesn’t bring you to the top of the social ladder. 

Reality check: a few downsides and how to cope

In our case, following our dreams has definitely not been super easy, but we also think that struggles have been a big part of the beauty of pursuing our goals. The challenges on the road can give you such a feeling of connection: the strong vibe of teamwork, the support of the online community or total strangers showing their unexpected kindness. It’s during those hard times that we were reminded of our perseverance and to never take the beautiful things for granted. We might live in home of less than 25m2 with 8 adults, a kid and a dog, and things might break down from time to time (annoyingly at the most unexpected moments) but it never weighs out on all the unforgettable moments. We experience so many days we will never forget, we get to meet different people from all over the world, like minded people, while traveling with our own home. We’re sharing our own comfort zone with everyone who dares to hop on board and be a part of our nomads family for a week or longer. It’s something you can only truly understand by being a part of our adventure. But in short: whatever we will do in life, whatever the struggles are along the way, thanks to sharing these with others, finding solutions together and most of all creating memories together there will never be anything in the world that could stop us from making crazy dreams come true.
