Jack , Ash and their kids decided to hit the road in order to strengthen their family bond .
JACK , ASH AND THEIR THREE BOYS
Let ' s See Australia , @ lets _ see _ australia
We decided to travel for a few reasons . We wanted a bit of a sabbatical from work , to strengthen our family bonds and give our boys the fun of adventure without the distractions of things back home . As well as to explore this incredible country of ours !
We have this joke that doing the lap year is kind of like backpacking , but we are all 15-20 years older and have kids ! Instead of meeting others in backpacker dorms and having pints in some cool bar , it ’ s meeting at campgrounds and arranging sundowners while the kids play .
We have really enjoyed meeting some down to earth , fun and kind people that we may not have ever crossed paths with back home . It ’ s a great vibe ! There ’ s no egos , agendas or politics , just good people trying to have a fun time exploring our beautiful country .
But the most special part of the community is that we have all left our usual circles and are open to and actively forming new ones . The lapping / travel life isn ’ t easy and the community gets that . As a result , I think it has developed a very supportive and friendly culture where people look out for each other and help / support when needed . What we ’ ve realised is the places we see are amazing , but it ’ s the people you are with there that make them special memories .
