Our Family Adventure Story

2024

Central & South America Expedition

We're beyond excited to be setting off on another adventure with the kids for the next two years! This journey through Central and South America is all about exploring, learning, and embracing the unknown.

"From hiking through breathtaking landscapes to kiting and surfing along the coast, every day will be an opportunity for adventure."

As we homeschool our kids on the road, we'll navigate challenges, discover new cultures, and give them a hands-on education like no other. Most importantly, we're strengthening our family bonds and creating memories that will last a lifetime.

The Beginning of Our Journey

This is the story of our slightly mad idea of driving around the world & combining the things we love most, our kids, adventure, sports & travel.

"We are under no delusions that travelling with kids & road schooling along the way is going to be easy. We can't even drive to Vancouver without them whining 'are we there yet?!'"

The desire to drive around the world has always been there, but putting down roots, business and family held more of a reality. The travel bug is back, Tim & the kids are now fully infected too.

This time learning about countries, culture, nature and history has become exciting to experience through the eyes of children.

"A family exploring the world together in a camper, easy – right?"

JAXON + CHARLEY

The adventure as experienced by Jaxon and Charley at different ages

Jaxon

Age 11 • 2025

"I'm excited for it all really. I loved riding scooters all over Omatepe Island and learning to surf!"

So I never wanted to go on this trip again, and I made it clear to my parents I didn't want to leave my friends, skiing, soccer and school. It was hard to go, but pretty quickly I started to enjoy it, we are only three months into our trip and we have done so much really cool stuff.

So, yeah, i'm happy we are doing this. I loved my day at Six Flags riding rollercoasters from open to close. I loved riding scooters all over Omatepe Island in Nicaragua and hiking the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica, learning to surf in Nicaragua and hanging out with my friends Alex & Austin in Panama!

Age 13 • 2025

"Home will still be there when we get back, but for now home is where we park it."

I was in two minds about going. I knew that we would be having a great time but at the same time I was sad to leave my family, friends and life behind. At the same time I couldn't help loving the sense of adventure we were going into.

Six Flags was in my top five days, I got over my fear of rollercoasters that unleashed a part of me that loves the rush. In Mexico I loved camping down in the Oaxaca coast, Guatemala we overnight hiked Acetenango Volcano.

I love seeing and identifying all the beautiful birds & seeing the Quetzal free in the wild. I loved learning to surf in Nicaragua and hiking through the jungles. Life on the road isn't always easy but it sure is worth it, I am so happy we are together on this trip.

Younger Years

Jaxon's Journey

Age 5

Age 6

Age 10

Following closely on his sister's heels he's just a turn behind her on skis & bike. Easy going, lover of all bugs & animals, bi-lingual, Jax will be acting interrupter, friend magnet and primary annoyance to his sister.

Age 5: "I don't really have a favourite animal, but birds are pretty cool. I'm going to bring some cars, fishing rod, lego, ironman toy, and lightsaber. I also really want my best friends Alex and Evie to come with me too."

Age 6: "How many days does it take to drive to South America?" I tell him and his eye pop out of his head, "that's going to take a really long time Mum!"

Age 10: "I just don't want to go!"

Charley's Journey

Age 6

Age 8

Charley is up with the birds and hits the ground running. A typical Whistler kid, she loves to Ski, & mountain bike. Gymnastics, TaeKwon Do and piano keep her busy outside of school. Her biggest love are birds.

Age 6: "Birds are my most favourite. At home I have at least 50 bird stuffies, they all have names & get up to no good when I'm at school."

Age 8: "I want to see as many different kinds of birds as possible and write about them in my bird book. My favourite kind of birds are most definitely the parrots, because they are beautiful, smart, and very cheeky."

"I love camper, but am not sure where all my birds are going to sit, I have to take them all with me, even tho Mum says I can only bring 5, how can I choose between them. They just won't sleep well without me."
