It’s inspiring. Really encourages me to get up and go as well.

it would really be hard to pursue our dream, but as long as we have that goal, i guess there is no room for giving up..what ever may be the means as long as we are not doing anything wrong, there is nothing to be afraid and no reason to back off..

Found your blog from another travelor’s website. My daughter (12) and I are just now embarking on our journey. Backpacking Egypt, Israel, Jordan this March 2010. We homeschool and plan to learn Spanish when we return then head for Nicaragua. It is very motivating to read about other people’s travels!

Hi Tom & Anne,

We are a “family of 6!” from Perth, Western Australia, we start our rtw in Dec 09 – We just wanted to say a “big” thankyou for your blog – it has been very inspiring & helped us to believe that we can also do this.

We would love for you to follow us at – 6outofoz.com

Perhaps we can meet up in LA in Dec 2010?

Thanks again, Paul & Amanda.

This is one of my life’s goals and after reading so many of your great stories, you’ve convinced me that this would be the adventure of a lifetime!

I’d have to visit some exotic far off places like you guys did and take some nice pictures. I started Paul Bates Photography in hopes of getting out and exploring the world a little more because there is just so much to see!

Any more plans in the works for six in the world 2.0?

I also think it’s a good idea to ask people who have been trevelling a lot for some recommendations on where to go. As for my personal experience, I always end up checking out the places my friends visited. I want to know specifically what are the places that are child-friendly, and places where my kids can enjoy too.

Once my internet company takes off in a few years I hope to do a lot more traveling myself and can hopefully consult with you!

We, a belgian family of 4, came back from a 5 month rtwtrip in august that brought us to Australia, new zealand, easter island, Chile and argentina. Three things always come up, what do you do all day?? win the lottery?,and we would never be able to do this with kids.

The 1st question came up while we were talking to dutch people who were on an open end tour of south america with a motorhome. Here we were sitting on the beach by the river in san ignacio, argentina with a spectacular view when she said it is the most asked question to them. As soon as she said this we just started laughing out loud… And indeed people at home have asked us this too.

The not with kids phrase is somewhat strange as we feel kids do not make travel difficult, it is canceled flights, unfriendly people,….., things you cannot control and with or without kids makes no difference. Our kids, now 3 and 6, loved traveling and we keep looking at photos, talking about our travels.

And then of course the win the lottery comment. When I tell people how we saved for our trip they sort of shrug oh yeah hardly believing me. But there are so many daily costs you can just cut because they are not a necessity to live comfortably. Sth we really take with us from this trip is the simplicity of live while on the road, just the 4 of us, 2 backpacks and the world!!!!

joining you in your madness
