Hiya,
I have been meaning to have a read of this site for ages now - and since Grant is fast asleep, and I am wide awake it seemed a good time.
What an increcible journey - I am so excited for you (and slightly terrified…although I always am at the thought of the unknown). Very interesting reading about all your prep (I didn’t expect anything less), just one question - why the Iron under electronics - I would have thought being in the middle of Asia would be the perfect excuse for getting out of the ironing…!
Look forward to reading more.

Great to hear about your adventure. I am American, I am married to a New Zealander and we have 5 kids. Our kids have been born on 3 continents. We have called many places home. We are presently in the Orkney Isles in U.K. and our planning our own round the world adventure. My husband and I met on a ship, giving away books with a mission group for 2 years. We lived in a tent for 6 months in America before we were given a Winnabego that we lived in for 2 years. We left that and went to Europe where we have been living in bricks and morter since 2000 (Scotland, Switzerland and Czech Republic). I love it that my kids know different cultures. I love it that they dont need stuff to be happy. I love it that they are excited about our next chapter too. My Elizabeth is writing an article for the school newspaper about our breakdowns around the world. She says they were her favourite times. Go figure. I look forward to hearing more. Blessings on your family and your journey.

Hi Debbie,
Or perhaps Mercy Shippers I suppose!
Nice to meet you. We are always inspired to hear of others’ adventures.
Have to ask - are you YWAMers or OMers?

Well, to say that I am amazed to find your site is a bit of an understatement. This is awesome, and I hope to visit here and read thru all your writings.
We are celebrating our 23rd Anniversary today, expecting our 10th baby sometime in the fall, and are presently on a bit of an Abramic journey. We left our house in Sept 07 and drove across Canada with our youngest 7 (of 9) and lived on Cape Breton for a year. We (all of us, including our eldest 2 dc) are presently in Arizona hanging out with a Christian ministry, but since we don’t have any special visa for staying here in the USA, we are heading out of the country sometime in April. We assumed at first that we’d return to Canada, but not so sure about that anymore. We are considering travelling more, and birthing this next child in another country. We have nothing to go back to Canada for really, other than family. We’ve given most of our stuff away, and are on a journey to God-only-knows.
All the sites I’ve found about traveling families of course are much smaller than yours and ours, so I will definitely be checking yours out. I’m sure I can learn lots from you. Blessings

Hello,
I could not find an email contact, so decided to leave a comment.
We just wanted to drop you a note to say that we enjoy your website/blog and thank you for sharing your personal story and travel adventures.
We also wanted to introduce ourselves. We are Sean, Gina, Grant, and Genevieve (Gigi) and our blog http://www.portable-parents.com tracks our travels in Latin America for the past year and our decision to change our family’s lifestyle.
Anyway, we just wanted to connect with kindred spirits - a small but seemingly growing group – and let you know how much we enjoy reading about your adventures.
Safe Travels…
The Lannins
