This blog is our daily journal from the road. These posts capture our days as they unfold while travelling long term as a family. They’re written in real time, without polish or hindsight, and reflect the small moments, routines, and rhythms of life on the move.
Longer reflections and feature stories live separately on our Stories page.

Day 103 - First Full Day in Sicily: Exploring Giardini Naxos, Castelmola and the Coast

Day 102 - Transport day. Goodbye Austria. Hello Sicily.
A 4am start, a two-and-a-half-hour drive to Vienna, airport chaos, and a flight south to Sicily. Day 102 marked the end of our time in Austria and the beginning of a new chapter beneath the snow-covered peak of Mount Etna in Giardini Naxos.
