So – I don’t normally consider myself any sort of hot reporter but I must say I was a bit psyched to open up CNN.com today and find an article on Couchsurfing – a topic I wrote about 2 weeks ago! Of course, they did a better job, gave more information and links to a [...]

When I set off on my last adventure with my 3 children (later met by my husband after a couple of weeks) I searched the web for extended travel with kids and found very little. However, since then, it seems family nomads are jumping out of the woodwork.

Today we move again. This time we leave Paris and take the TGV to our friends’ country home outside of Avignon. This will be the most rural location of our trip so far. The home does not have internet.
