About us

There are six of us. And a dog.

For years we lived like many families: a house, a garden, work and a fixed school. A few years ago we decided to try something different. Since then we've been travelling through Europe in our camper for longer periods, and in between we're at home in the Netherlands for work, family and everyday life.

By now we're looking for a way of life that suits us in the long term. That could be in the Netherlands, but also abroad. Which way it will go, we don't know yet. On this website we share what we experience and learn on the road, and the material we make ourselves for our children's education.

Our story

Our story so far

Step 1

The idea

The idea of living differently grew slowly. More and more often we wondered whether the fixed rhythm of work, school and weekend really suited our family best. We wanted more time together, and to show our children more of the world.

Step 2

The preparation

Then followed a period of figuring things out and arranging. We found an old fire engine and converted it into a home on wheels. Meanwhile we puzzled over how to combine work, education and our house in the Netherlands with travelling.

Step 3

On the road

Then the travel periods began. Weeks to months on the road, including Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Slovenia and Italy, alternated with periods at home. On the road too, the children follow their education programme, supplemented with our own lessons and materials.

Now

Searching

In 2026 our youngest was born, between two travel periods. The camper is now for sale. As long as we have it, we travel with it, but we're also looking ahead: where and how do we want to live in the long term? The Netherlands or abroad, it's all still open.

Education on the road

How we learn

We believe learning doesn't only happen in a classroom. Our children follow an education programme, and in addition we use a lot of our own material and everything we come across on the road: a market to do maths, a map to follow the route, a museum, or a conversation in another language.

There's structure on the road too. There are fixed times for schoolwork, and around that there's room to explore. The material we make ourselves, such as letter cards, writing sheets and treasure hunts, we share for free via this website so other families can use it too.

For the core subjects, our children follow a Dutch curriculum that we can use on the road. Curious which one it is and how it works? (Page in Dutch.)
