109- Currently Wandering
Today on the show we have Sam and Jess from Currently Wandering who travel around the U.S. in a restored Airstream with 3 kids.
Their family travels began a couple of years ago when they decided to House swap their home in Utah with a Military family from D.C. During the 18 day road trip to get to D.C., they decided they wanted to do this full time. Live life on the road. A more simple and slow life to explore the world around them. Didn’t know all the details yet but wanted to pursue that. Once arriving in D.C. and within 2 months got an airstream and a truck and were ready to hit the road!
The Currens traveled for 6 months, seeing so much of the United States. During this time they made sure they were talking openly with the kids to talk through their options and help them get onboard for selling the house and deciding to travel full time June 2014. The kids started to dream of the possibilities of living life outside of the “norm.”
Eventually someday they plan to travel and take the kids internationally, maybe New Zealand, Thailand and more! But for now they are seeing the rest (What very little they haven’t seen :) of the U.S.
Their advice for others: Start in your own backyard. Get out and see what you can. The point of traveling is to see the world so start now, with what you have, where you are.
