a sabbatical year

I have been following for a while now, the journey this beautiful family started almost one year ago.  -A sabbatical year to explore a big chunk of this amazing world-.

This is a family of six. Mom, Dad and 4 kiddos who one summer day left their home in London and decided they wanted to experience other cultures, different landscapes, colors, foods and everything else in the middle, "embracing the simple and the slow", as their blog states.

It takes a lot of courage, energy and inspiration. It really does. It is so difficult to leave your comfort zone, -it is for me-. Imagine to pull your kids out of school and out of all their routines; say goodbye to friends and daily familiarity and just take off and explore for a whole year.

But what an adventure. I can’t even imagine how many beautiful memories for the rest of their lives and what a deep, positive transformation for a kid; what a gift to see the world, to experience other ways of life, to be out there an just experience. Seriously, what a gift to those kids.
What an inspiration for me to read this woman’s blog as well.

Take a look at her pictures and blog, you’ll love it.

Whoever I talk to, they are trying to juggle a million things at once. That's life these days, I guess. The news have been scary, lately. Around the globe. Very scary. This year we have seen all kind of sadness, craziness, nonsense around the world. Even natural disasters have been horrific. And it seems it escalates year after year. To be honest the last few motnhs I have felt the need to hide, to retreat and protect my loved ones. To move somewhere where nothing can reach us, not even social media or TV... -especially social media and TV- But how? How we protect the people we love? How do we hide? Where do we go? Not sure where the world is going and if you have kids it can get really really scary at times. Is this the world we are leaving to them? What I'm sure about though is that more
