Way too often we think about kids as limiting factor. We try to tell them what they should do, while all we need to do is to show them.
- jmvoodoo 7y agoThis. I'm in my 30s, and have two kids. On my 3rd trip of the year as I write this and my wife and are planning trips 4 and 5 before the year is up. First trip of next year is in the works as well. Is it easy? Absolutely not. It's difficult and at times frustrating, but absolutely worth it.
- prawn 7y agoThe way I think about it is: kids are difficult at home or abroad. You might as well go on an adventure and do something interesting with them regardless. I’m Australian, married with three young kids. Earlier this year, we flew to the US, bought an old bus, renovated it cheaply in Walmart carparks and drove across the continent twice. 20+ states over three months, including a lunch in Mexico. Slept in the bus, in motels, etc. Kids are 1, 4 and 6. It was brilliant.
- jiux 7y agoDoes anyone have a few ideas or pointers how one could move across the world for 6-12 months as a single parent to two children under age 6?
- maximente 7y agodo you need to work or not? 3 people can live like kings in most of the western hemisphere, thailand, etc. on $20K a year, or live decently on $10K a year. you won't be moving locations often since that tends to be more expensive than just "living" but you can definitely do a stint abroad on a few thousand. if you need to work, get a remote setup either via contract or remote company, understanding you'll probably need to work a lot less given your necessary expenses.
