We are just like you.

We aren’t rich.

We can’t afford to do this.

We can’t afford not to.

"Leap and a net will appear"

A year ago our days consisted of making school lunches and working and going to school and wondering what to make for dinner and driving from karate practice to swimming practice to soccer practice before collapsing in bed.

And in the moments in between we wondered if there was more to life.

We dreamed of seeing the world with our kids. We imagined having more time to do nothing (and everything) together. We hoped that one day we’d make it happen. And then one day we decided to do it.

Heather is an award-winning travel writer so a trip around the world meant she could freelance and see some of the more far-flung destinations that are hard to get to when you need to be home in time for supper with the kids.

Ish

Ish works as an inspector in municipal public health. He loves his job. It offered him the chance to take a reduction in his salary over four years in order to save for a pre-paid sabbatical. He signed up and earned a year away to travel the world as a full-time, hands-on dad.

Ethan

Ethan, 9, is our oldest. A picky eater and book devourer whose laugh you’re most likely to hear a mile away. He’s missing Grade 4 to be on this trip.

Cameron

Cameron, 7 is a charmer. He’ll win you over with that toothy grin and bear hug. He’s got a thing for cheese: grilled, Margherita pizza, babybels and he won’t stop asking til he gets it. He’s missing Grade 2 this year.

We aren’t rich.

We can’t afford to do this.

We couldn’t afford not to.

Neither can you.
