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 137 - San Foca Comes Alive! Big Day of Go-Karting, Grotto Swims & a Packed Coastal Town
From a quiet coastal town to buzzing with life, today was full of go-kart racing, cliffside swims, and a completely different side of San Foca. One of those days where everything just felt alive.
Day 136 - Easter Sunday in Italy & Expectations vs Reality with Kids
Early excitement, a few disappointments, plenty of chocolate, and an unexpected street celebration. Easter Sunday in San Foca didn’t go to plan, but it turned into something better.
Day 135 - The Easter Planning Meeting, Homemade Hot Cross Buns and a Full Family Day in Italy
A slow start turned into a full day of Easter planning, a family vote on what mattered most, a 5km run, local pastries, and homemade hot cross buns in Italy. One of those days that felt busy in the best way.
Day 134 - Family Runs, Schoolwork and Small Wins on the Road
A rare clear morning had all of us out running together before settling into schoolwork, a quick road trip for cash, and an afternoon of soccer by the beach. It was one of those simple travel days that reminds us why we chose this life.
Day 133 - Shopping, Chaos Driving and Family Travel Moments
After days of constant rain in southern Italy, we embraced a slower day filled with workouts, a chaotic drive, a Decathlon shop, and a full afternoon exploring local shopping centres with the kids.
Day 132 - A Rainy Day of Worldschooling in Italy
Another wet day kept us indoors, but instead of forcing plans, we leaned into it. Baking, schoolwork, workouts and a bit of trial and error… and somewhere in it all, we realised we’ve finally found our flow as a travelling family.
Day 131 – Stormy Skies and Slow Days
A stormy night rolls into a slow family day in Puglia, filled with Easter crafts, a cancelled run, website progress, and planning the next leg of the journey north.
Day 130 - Future Planning Day
A slow morning, a strong run, big Morocco plans, and a rare early night. Day 130 was all about finding our rhythm again.
Day 129 - Exploring Alberobello’s Trulli Houses
A slow morning turned into a step back in time as we explored the iconic trulli houses of Alberobello.
Day 128 - The Drone That Almost Didn’t Make It Back
A slow start, a near-disaster with the drone over the ocean, and a day where routine took priority over sightseeing. Not every day is about ticking boxes — sometimes it’s about settling into the rhythm of life on the road.
Day 127 - Rainy Day, Big Dreams and Building Our Travel Website
A slow, rainy day in Italy turns into one full of creativity, pancakes, homeschooling and progress behind the scenes as we build our travel website and dream about life after the journey.
Day 126 - A Grotto Jump, A Kids’ Restaurant, and a Wild Italian Storm
A slow morning turns into one of our favourite days yet. A spontaneous grotto jump, Maddie runs her own restaurant, and a wild storm rolls in to finish the night.
Day 125 - Homemade Pizza Night and Finding Our Rhythm in San Foca
A slower day in San Foca filled with routine, a solo run to Roca, and one of the best surprises yet, homemade pizzas made together as a family.
Day 124 - Family Runs, Pancake Mornings & Finding Our Travel Rhythm
A simple day that turned into one of our favourites. A family run, pancakes made from scratch, learning through play, and a big step forward in planning what comes next.
Day 123 - Family Travel Reality: Fights, Coastal Adventures and a Games Night in Southern Italy
A two-cent coin sparks a full family meltdown, but the day turns around with coastal exploring, quiet Italian towns, and a fun-filled games night together.
Day 122 - Sunday Markets, Family Runs & Simple Wins in Southern Italy
An early start, a family run that turned around quickly, fresh bread from local shops, and a Sunday spent wandering markets and soaking up real local life in Southern Italy.
Day 121 - Running the limestone cliffs of San Foca
A simple family run turns into a coastal adventure along limestone cliffs in San Foca. Coffee by the sea, tight living challenges, and big conversations about what comes next.
Day 120 - Settling Into San Foca
A slow first full day in San Foca, Italy, featuring a coastal run to Grotta della Poesia, family run-walk sessions, and settling into small-space travel life.
Day 119 - Travel Day to San Foca, Settling Back Into Slow Living
A rainy travel day from Lecce to San Foca turns into a reset moment as we settle into coastal life, manage food costs, and prepare for a slower few weeks in Puglia.
Day 118 - Exploring Lecce on Our Own Terms
We skipped the expensive walking tours in Lecce and created our own. From Porta Napoli to the Roman amphitheatre, this self-guided family adventure turned out to be one of our best travel days yet.
