I often get asked why we chose this lifestyle of living in a truck travelling the world.

The answer is both complex and simple.

I’ve never been one to conform to the normal way of life and frankly I’d rather drive around the world seeing places than sit in an office dreaming of places.

From a family perspective, the most important years of your child’s life are the early ones. This way I get to spend 24/7 with Isla. To watch her grow and develop and to have a big hand in how that goes. To show her other people, places, creeds and cultures and hope that she realises we are all one people. Not to mention I get to show her the world before humans completely destroy it.

I also have quite the issue with the normal education system. But that’s probably a topic for another day (not because I had a bad experience, far from it, I just don’t think it’s setup to allow people to thrive and achieve their potential.)

Anyway, for the foreseeable future, when someone asks that question, I’ll just show them this video and hopefully that’ll be enough reason and explanation.
