Mini Series: Maddie’s Thoughts Before Our Big Family Adventure and World Travel

Before we dive into the travel plans, I wanted to share something a bit different. This mini series of blogs is all about our kids and their feelings as we prepare for our big family travel adventure. We felt it was really important to document this — not just the fun and exciting parts, but the honest, sometimes tough emotions too. It’s a reminder, a humbling moment, and a grounder for all...

If there’s one thing we’ve learned while planning our family’s global adventure, it’s this: time is the most valuable...

One Week to Go: From Meetings to Mangoes (and a Few Wobbles in Between)

Next week is my last week at work

Even writing that makes my stomach flip a bit. After years of routines, meetings, and inboxes that never quite get to zero, I'm about to swap the office for a backpack, the commute for tuk-tuks, and the calendar for... well, probably still a calendar, but one with a lot more sunshine and fewer Teams calls.

As the very first employee, I’ve been part of the business since day one. Being employee #1 isn’t just a line on a timeline — it’s been a front-row seat to the growth of an idea into a thriving,...

Welcome to WanderLearn : Our Family’s Big Adventure Begins

If you’re new here — hi!

We’re a British family of five, and we’re about to begin a year-long (maybe longer) slow travel adventure across the world. We’re not influencers, we’re not millionaires, and we’re not escaping a glamorous life. We’re just a regular family who got tired of the daily grind and decided to do something a...
