How to travel the entire world and unpack one time.
Updated: Sep 9
What if I told you that there's a convenient way to travel the ENTIRE world in just 9 months where you only have to unpack once?
With so many employees working remotely and children being homeschooled or participating in distance learning, planning a future trip around the world may be easier than you think.
There's truly no better learning experience that you can give your children than one that explores so many different cultures and unique foods - plus includes incredible sights and immersive hands-on activities. Soon, your kids will be grown and out of the house, so take this precious time to connect with them and show them what the world has to offer.
So you may be wondering, how can one possibly see the entire world in just 9 months?
