We’d been doing the same thing for years working 9–5, commuting, rushing through the week and we just kept asking ourselves: is this it? Is this what life is supposed to feel like?
We realised we didn’t want to wait until retirement to start living. So we sold our house, all our furniture, our cars everything. There’s no plan B, no house to come back to. We’re going all in.
We leave the UK in September and between now and then, we’re packing up our lives and preparing to take our kids on a journey of learning, connection, and freedom. We want them to learn by seeing the world, meeting people, exploring cultures, and spending time with us not just in between work shifts and nursery drop-offs.
We’re sharing the whole journey the honest moments, the chaos, the excitement on our Instagram and TikTok, @youustheworld. So if you’re a family who’s ever wondered if there’s more out there, we’d love to connect.
This decision hasn’t been easy, but it already feels worth it. Because sometimes, you just have to want the adventure more than the comfort.
