Why I Started My Travel Business (And How It Can Help Families Like Yours)

In 2018, we made a life-changing decision: we left behind the predictable rhythm of everyday life to travel the world full-time as a family of five.

It wasn’t a decision we made lightly, but deep down, we knew we were craving something more, more connection, more learning, more life.

We packed what mattered, let go of what didn’t, and flew to Bali. It was our first step into a lifestyle that would challenge us, change us, and ultimately shape who we are today.

At the time, we had no intention of making this a business. We just wanted to experience the world together. But as we continued to travel across continents, cultures, and seasons of life, something beautiful started to unfold.

The World Became Our Classroom

One of the most beautiful shifts that came with full-time travel was in the way our kids learned. We didn’t just take them out of school, we took them into the world. We didn’t have a set curriculum or perfect plan, but somehow, everything became a lesson.

They learned history while walking through ancient ruins in Italy, Turkey, Egypt, and other locations. Geography came alive through train rides in Mongolia, hiking in New Zealand, and many other places around the world. Biology was explored while snorkeling in Bali or spotting orangutans in Borneo. They met people who spoke different languages, ate food they’d never tried before, and slowly, their worldview expanded, and so did ours.

This approach, often referred to as worldschooling, isn’t about recreating school on the road. It’s about embracing curiosity, following interests, and letting life itself become the classroom. It’s messy and magical all at once. And it’s one of the things I cherish most about this journey.

“How Do You Do It?”

As we traveled, we began sharing our story online through our blog, The 5 World Explorers, and our YouTube Vlog. We weren’t trying to become anything; we just wanted to document the adventure so our kids would always have it as a memory and stay connected to friends and family. But over time, our inbox began filling with messages:

“How do you plan all of this?”
“What do you do about education?”
“Is this doable with kids?”
“Can you help me plan a trip like this?”

These weren’t people looking for luxury resorts. They were parents like us, curious, maybe a little overwhelmed, but deeply craving something different for their families.

Initially, I answered questions sporadically. Then came video calls. Then came helping others plan their first big trips.

That’s when I realized something: this wasn’t just our story anymore. I could help others write theirs.

A Business Rooted in Experience

That’s how Limitless Travel Life came to be, not as a business plan, but as a natural extension of what we were already doing.

I didn’t set out to become a travel advisor. I just knew what it felt like to want more out of life, and to wonder if it was possible with kids in tow. I had learned a great deal about logistics, planning, slow travel, packing light, and making a new place feel like home, and I wanted to share this knowledge with others in a meaningful way.

This isn’t a big agency. I don’t do flashy group tours or high-end vacation packages. What I offer is real-world insight from someone who has lived this life and continues to live it.

Why I Help Families Travel Differently

Because travel can be more than just a break, it can be a reset, a reconnection, a new way of seeing everything.

It doesn’t have to mean selling everything and leaving for years.

Sometimes, it’s two weeks somewhere unexpected. Sometimes, it’s adding more intention to your next family vacation. Sometimes, it’s simply believing that your family deserves adventure, too.

What I’ve learned and what I try to share is that there isn’t one way to travel. But there is your way. And it’s worth exploring!

💛 Why It Matters

I didn’t start this business to sell trips. I started it because I know how transformative travel can be, especially when shared as a family.

Whether you're curious about worldschooling, overwhelmed by the planning process, or just dreaming of something different, I want to help you take that next step. You don’t need to figure it out alone.

Some families want to explore deeper. Others want to travel smarter. I’m here for both, because there’s no one right way to do this, only your way.
