Ian Pilbeam's epic travel story about backpacking around the World for a year with his wife and two kids age 8 and 10
When Ian first told me about this travel story, I honestly thought he was kidding. One thing is taking your kids on a vacation, but it's a whole different level of adventure and "bravery" if you wish, to embark on a round the World trip for a year to places you may not think were "kid compatible."Add to that, this feat was accomplished in 2008 and 2009, an era of economic downturn.Imagine quitting your secure job right before a recession to backpack around the world with an 8 and 10 year old. What would it be like to be that parent, let alone that child?Never has this story been more relevant…
