Family Funishment
Our Family Gap Year
We are taking family FUN (and all the ups and downs of traveling with children) in the air, on the road, and by rail.
We are a family of four that loves adventure. Henri and I have incredible 8 year old twins- Elizabeth (Elsie) and Oliver (Ollie). Like so many families, we feel unsettled in our frantic lives because of busy careers and our desire to never miss a moment with our kids.
We loved to travel before we had children. It's been our dream to do so again as a family. We are taking control of our lives and planning a year of travel through Europe!
