I’m sharing the LOVE! Here are some of the blogs I follow that are about FAMILY TRAVEL. This list is evolving and I’ll be adding more as I find them!
- Abrams Family World Travel Searching for the perfect place to raise their family.
- At Home in the World Yay! Another Canadian family! A family of six who sold their home in chilly Edmonton and are slowly making their way around the world. “Wherever we are together, we are at home in the World.”
- A Kings Life Meet the Kings! A family of four making on a slow travel journey. Working online and seeing the world!
- Bohemian Travelers Exit rat race, enter adventure. A family of five, unschoolers, and adventure seekers!
- The Dropout Diaries What happens after dropping out, traveling, finding love, and having a baby…..? A mix of everyday happenings in Asia, a dash of hilarious, with a sprinkling of baby.
- Discover Share Inspire Driving their truck from Alaska to Argentina and doing humanitarian work along the way.
- Family On Bikes These peeps are crazy! Riding their bikes from Alaska to Argentina! My legs get sore just thinking about it.
- Four Dots on a Map Another family that is renting out their home and traveling the world. Starting their family tour in Asia then on to Europe and North America.
- Flashpacker Family Mom, Dad, and toddler from New Zealand traveling every chance they get!
- Edventure Project I am lucky enough to have found this family on Twitter. Mom, Dad, and their four kids have been traveling since 2008. They started off on bikes touring Europe and North Africa and are currently in Guatemala for the winter. They have no plans to stop and have told me that Asia is next on the hit list.
- Got Passport I just love Got Passport for what they are doing! Their motto is “We Say NO to the Status Quo! Live Small. Live Green. Give Large. Take Little. Take Notice. Take Action.” They are expats living in Chiang Mai, Thailand and have become a bit of an authority on all things Chiang Mai.
- Going Anyway Five kids and a wheelchair, backpacking across Asia!
- The Great Family Escape This family of four is in the planning stage now, getting ready to take the plunge in 2012. This blog is quickly becoming a resource on the “how to” of planning long-term family travel.
- Hudson Family This family goes everywhere! From a train across Mongolia, to running a guesthouse in China, to their latest adventure buying a truck and camper in America and making their way south.
- Living on The Road A family of six living in a caravan (that’s a travel trailer for those us North Americans) and touring around Australia.
- Living Outside the Box This family is doing as their blog name describes, Living Outside the Box.
- Our Travel Lifestyle A location independent family of four traveling throughout South East Asia. I’ve been reading their blog for about a year now and find their posts to be thoughtful and informative. A great resource for families dreaming about Asia!
- Pearce On Earth The Pearce family are location independent and have settled down for a year on the island of Bali.
- Raising Miro A single mom and her son Miro. Currently they are vagaboning throughout Latin America but their travel plans are long term. They are hoping to travel for another seven years!
- Ramble Crunch This family has got me seriously considering Europe. They are traveling around Europe in an RV for a year!
- Snaps and Blabs Mom, Dad, and three kids. Making their way around the world on a shoe string budget. Funny, witty, and gorgeous photography!
- The Act of Traveling A Dutch family making their way around the world Their goal is “to have our children encounter new cultures and countries early in their lives.”
- The Sattvic Family An unschooling family of three currently living in Phuket, Thailand. This blog has a big focus on unschooling and attachment parenting.
- Travels with a Nine Year Old A blog written in a journalistic style, chronicling the journey of a single mother and her young son
- Tripping Mom A single mom and her three year old girl, currently tripping around Costa Rica. Like me, she leans toward alternative education and mindful parenting.
- Vagabond Kids They live and work in Singapore and travel around Asia every chance they get. Full of great tips for traveling Asia with children.
- With Two Kids in Tow They have rented out their home and are backpacking around SE Asia and India for 12 months. They are traveling with their two daughters aged 3 and 5. Same age as my boys!
- 1 Year Sabbatical An American family getting ready to take a (you guessed it!) One Year Sabbatical! Matt’s posts are well written and thoughtful and I can’t wait to read about their trip!
- 1Dad1Kid A single father and his young boy are planning on doing an around the world tour, unschooling all the way! His posts are refreshingly honest and theirs will be a great adventure to follow.
Do you have a blog about family travel or have one to recommend? Please leave me a comment so I can check it out.

Dear Amy,
What a great list this is (and will be as it grows and grows). I believe there a lot of families out there, traveling the world. Short term or long term travel, that doesn’t mind. As long as we are exploring and showing our kids what our world is all about. Thanks for adding The Act of Traveling, very much appreciated!

Hi Guys, I discovered you via your interview with Laine and Miro. I “know them” through our connection as worldschoolers. Unfortunately, our adventures are over at this time. Our family traveled from June 2008 – June 2009. At that time we only crossed paths with three other familes worldschooling: Canada, Spain and The Netherlands. It’s great to see so many more families hitting the road these days. Our family travel blog was http://www.oneworldonetrip.blogspot.com – check it out and feel free to include it in your traveling families blogroll. My ongoing travel blog is at http://www.aroundtheworldineasyways.com where I write a weekly blog and work at promoting my book, Around the World in Easy Ways: A Guide to Planning Long-Term Travel With or Without Your Kids. Since returning home from our travels, I’ve made it my mission to encourage other families to make long-term travel part of their lives and wrote the book to help others plan such an adventure. With all of us promoting worldschooling, the trend can do nothing but grow.

I’m glad you found us Lisa! It does seem like worldschooling is a growing trend doesn’t it? More and more families are questioning the status quo and taking the plunge to make their lives extraordinary! I will check out your blogs, thanks so much for sharing!

We’re a couple from all over the place (dad from the United States, mom from Argentina). After 16 months living in Spain, we started traveling full-time on January 2011 with our 5-year-old boy. We are in Thailand right now. You can also find us on twitter @riderby.
Thank you!

Have you seen http://majikfaerie.blogspot.com it’s one of my fave unschooling blogs. They don’t anymore permanently travel, but they did go overland from Argentina to Canada, and all around Europe, Middle East and Asia. They’re now in Malaysia, unschooling with an 8 year old, hard to keep up, but I think Littletree has been in over 20 countries!

We are a current traveling family…www.towheadtravel.com
We have been on the road since June 15 and are heading to eastern Europe at the moment (Croatia, Greece & Turkey). We plan to head East, to India, Nepal & Southeast Asia but have no real plan.
We just experienced a month in Tuscany wwoofing. A great experience with two polar opposite farms. They made sure the kids were involved too!
Thanks for making the list…a great resource.

HI! Love your sight and your passion for travel. I agree with you that travel can be one of the best ways to educate our children. While I choose to educate my children formally in the public school system I take evey opportunity to travel with my children. Sometimes it might be locally and other times more exotic but we are constantly on the go. If you have a moment come visit my blog. http://travelingbugwiththreeboys-kelleyn.blogspot.com/
This year some of our travels will include Germany, France, Switzerland, Italy, and then back to the states the eastern coast with Boston as our main focus point. While my blog is not strictly all travel I would like to hope that it might offer inspiration to other families that it is possible to travel with small children and with many children as I have 4. Hope you stop by. Kelleyn

We’ve just started blogging about it, but have been living abroad for nearly 2 years. In 2010 we sold our suburban stuff, flew to Costa Rica, had a baby there and we are currently in Belize.
We have no plans on stopping and we plan on world-schooling our 3 & 1 yr old.
It’s wonderful to see other families, especially with small children, doing the same.

Hi Amy, Just wondered if you’d consider adding us to the blogroll. We’ve been travelling nearly 2 1/2yrs, initially as three and now four (two kids). We been to North Africa, North America, Europe, Central America, South America, Carribean and now we are in Asia.
We’d love to share experiences with other families and even meet up if any are close by – we are in Chiang Mai, Thailand at present.

This has been a great resource for us as we left in Feb 2012 and are now entering our final weeks in Africa. We have two boys, 13 and 10. I read so many of these blogs and even though our house didn’t sell, car didn’t sell…we decided to try a few months as a test run. It’s been AMAZING!! Can’t wait for the next chapter of our travel journal to begin…and this one is not even closed yet!
Thanks, Shelly
