It truly is the simple things in life that matter the most. Some of my favourite memories of this whole adventure are those when we’d lay together under a shady tree and talk. I love this little guy and our funny chats. Such a character he is 💙

Big call, but I’m calling it. Berlin is my favourite city thus far. Rich in history. So much grief and sadness here, yet the city is bustling, vibrant, absolutely beautiful and so very alive!!! We are loving our time here 🇩🇪 {more in our stories} 💙 . . #Germany #Berlin #worldschool #gapyear #travel #seetheworld #travelingfamily #roundtheworld #travellingfamily #travelblogger #familyblog #seetheworldwithyourkids #travelingkids #travellingkids #FamilyTravel #FullTimeTravel #familyoffduty #travelmadfam #parentswhowander #Wewhotravel #heartfelttraveller

Hello 🙋🏼‍♀️ We are the Barnes family from Australia 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 🇦🇺 We’ve always loved to travel with our kids. Whether it be weekends away camping, interstate road trips or holidays overseas - travel has always been a priority in our lives 🌍 In early 2017, we made some huge decisions. Stepped back from our ‘normal’ life and decided to take a gap year around the world together. We are 9 months through our trip and at times it feels as though it is flying by, but when we look back and reflect, it feels like a lifetime. We are beginning to talk about what life will look like for us when we return back to Australia. We’ve all changed. Our outlook on life has changed. For the better. I don’t want this to be over, but at the same time - I am excited for what is yet to come. Thankyou so much for following along and supporting us. Means so much 💗 PS: This is not an ad for sun protection, I promise!!! 😂 🧢 🕶 (although that is very important!) PPS: If you have any questions for us- pop them below and I’ll try to reply to them all for everyone to see x

The face of a girl who is always happiest by the seaside. We had the most wonderful day yesterday along the coast in Lubeck. The sun shone on us all afternoon, and although the sky turned dark, the wind took the storm clouds away just as quickly as they rolled in. We’ve farewelled family in Hamburg this morning and are en route to Berlin 👌🏼🇩🇪 . . #Germany #Hamburg #Lubeck #worldschool #gapyear #travel #seetheworld #travelingfamily #roundtheworld #travellingfamily #travelblogger #familyblog #seetheworldwithyourkids #travelingkids #travellingkids #teamBarnes #FamilyTravel #FullTimeTravel #familyoffduty #travelmadfam #passportcollective #bonvoyagetravel #parentswhowander #Wewhotravel #wonderlustscotland #heartfelttraveller

The very moment we told them we were going to remain gypsies and keep up this full time travel gig for-everrrrr. . . #kiddinggrandparents #kidding #Germany #Hamburg #worldschool #gapyear #travel #seetheworld #travelingfamily #roundtheworld #travellingfamily #travelblogger #familyblog #seetheworldwithyourkids #travelingkids #travellingkids #teamBarnes #FamilyTravel #FullTimeTravel #familyoffduty #travelmadfam #passportcollective #bonvoyagetravel #parentswhowander #Wewhotravel #wonderlustscotland #heartfelttraveller #undeloh

We have just under 3 months left of our ‘Round the World’ gap year, and plan to spend it exploring Europe. We are LOVING our time in Hamburg Germany. We’ve been off the ‘gram a little. Enjoying our days with family, listening to stories, cooking and learning so much about this beautiful land. The kids are loaded with questions and really enjoying their new home 🏡 . . #Germany #Hamburg #worldschool #gapyear #travel #seetheworld #travelingfamily #roundtheworld #travellingfamily #travelblogger #familyblog #seetheworldwithyourkids #travelingkids #travellingkids #teamBarnes #FamilyTravel #FullTimeTravel #familyoffduty #travelmadfam #passportcollective #bonvoyagetravel #parentswhowander #Wewhotravel #wonderlustscotland #heartfelttraveller

We’ve spent the last couple of days here. What a wonderful end to our leg of Brittain 🇬🇧 This leg turned it to be a “Magical Reunion Tour” Andrew and I caught up with family we haven’t seen since we were teenagers, as well as meeting those we’d heard so much about, but never met- until now. Introducing them to the kids was so great. We caught up with special friends who call Scotland home, and met long term instagram friends in Wales for the first time face to face, which was just as fabulous as I’d always imagined. We explored cities, castles, old ruins, sandy beaches, visited Lizzy 👑 and searched for Nessy. Drove through narrow country lanes- testing both my patients and my manual driving skills...! We’ve tried local delights and delicacies, and we have fallen in love with it all. Brittain- the birth place of both my Mother and Father was always going to be a special visit, but I wasn’t quite prepared for how “at home” we’d feel here. We are saying farewell with warm hearts, and leaving a tiny piece of each of us behind 💙🇬🇧✌🏼👨‍👩‍👧‍👦✈️

Another day, another castle. Our very favourite thing about our trip to the UK, and Scotland in particular, are the incredible castles dotted around the country for all to discover and enjoy. Today’s discovery was pretty special. {Currently googling relocating to Scotland 😉💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿} We LOVE this place! Not sure we’d be able to handle the weather though. I mean- THIS is Summer 🤷🏼‍♀️ We’re definitely ready for some sunshine!☀️ #bringiton . . #scotland #eileandonancastle #inverness #visitscotland #travelfamily #fulltimetravel #worldnomads

This may just be my very favourite photo of all time...ever, ever. Scotland is so much more than we had imagined. We’ve been so fortunate to have visited many countries with these two monkeys. Not just on this adventure, but also in the years prior. There are certain places that pull on our heart strings a little more than others. That make us feel settled and at ease. That make us feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Scotland is one of those places for us. We’ve got a fun long weekend planned before we begin our next adventure. . . #Scotland #DunnottarCastle #VisitScotland #thisisscotland #UK #UKroadtrip #worldschool #gapyear #travel #seetheworld #travelingfamily #travellingfamily #travelblogger #familyblog #seetheworldwithyourkids #travelingkids #travellingkids #teamBarnes #FamilyTravel #FullTimeTravel #familyoffduty #travelmadfam #passportcollective #bonvoyagetravel #parentswhowander #Wewhotravel #wonderlustscotland #heartfelttraveller

About Clare

We are a family of 4 from Australia and we love to travel. We are all too aware that life is short, so we spent 6 months planning a year long round the world trip together and now we are living our dream. We sold our home and packed our worldly possessions into storage. With 4 backpacks and a heart full of dreams, we have set off. Read more
