Many people want to travel but they make excuse after excuse, and it stops them from actually going after their goal. One of the biggest excuses for not traveling is having a family.
Either someone has children already and feels that it’s simply not possible now, or they’re keen to start a family and as such, they don’t believe travel and children go together well.
Neither is strictly true. While the nomad lifestyle isn’t for everyone there are countless couples who are traveling the world right now with children in tow.
So, what points do you need to know or think about before you decide whether the whole global lifestyle and traveling thing is something you could actually make a reality?
Remember Why You’re Doing It
There are going to be times when you question why you’re doing what you’re doing. You’ll be convinced that purchasing a home and paying for an education is far easier than traveling the world. In some ways it is, but you might also argue that it’s not as rewarding. Again, everyone has a different view in this regard.
When times become difficult, remember why you’re doing what you’re doing. You’re seeing the world, living your dreams, and showing your children just how amazing the world is.
The World Is A Teacher
While there is no replacement for regular curriculum-based education, you should also know that the world is education too. You can educate your child as you move, through homeschooling on the go, and they can actually see the things they’re learning about too.
You’re showing your child different cultures, languages, and religions, and all of this helps them to become more well-rounded and open-minded.
There is Plenty of Support Out There
Everyone does the whole nomad lifestyle differently but that doesn’t mean you can ask for advice and take other views on board. There are plenty of family nomad support groups online and on social media. Don’t be afraid to reach out and, who knows, you might be able to meet up with your new friends on the go.

Do Your Research
Before you go to a new destination, do your research and find out the spots that are ideal for children. This information will be invaluable and will help you to get the most out of every destination you go to. The aforementioned support groups will be a useful source of information here and will also allow you to save money on the go, with useful hints and tips.
Have You Considered The Van Lifestyle?
For some families, having a camper is a good option because it gives your children a sense of routine. They have a place to sleep that they’re familiar with and that they can call their own and in many cases, that helps them to settle easier.
This is something to consider but not a true necessity when thinking about the nomad lifestyle. There are countless ways to travel and it really comes down to finding the best fit for you.

In the end, traveling the world is an invaluable experience for children and something they will never forget. It will help them to meet new people, gain insight into different ways of living, and it will show them that the world is far bigger than the place they call home.
Is it for everyone? Not at all, but for those who find it fits, it’s a life-changing, super-rewarding experience, never to be forgotten.
