About Our Family Gap Year

What is a family gap year?

A family gap year is when you take a break from your normal life to experience the world. It’s a big jump that requires a lot of planning and life changes, but we are ready!

Why are we doing it?

Forever we have dreamt about taking a whole year off to travel around the world. We have always talked about it but didn’t know when would be the right time. Around 11 months before leaving, we realized that we were in a perfect position to do it - Scout would still have a year before pre-school when we get back and our finances were in order.

Once we saw that there was a clear opportunity, we had to take it. The easy test was this: we asked ourselves if, in 20 years, we would regret not doing this. The answer was definitively, yes.
