About

Bored with life? Fed up with your job? Want to see more of your kids and family?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes (or as was my case, all of them), maybe you should read my blog. It offers a potted history of how I dramatically challenged my role as the breadwinner by resigning, and relocating my family on the other side of the world to experience the simple life - a life of rent free living in remote locations, in exchange for a few hours of labour a week.

Our 10 months of adventure has seen us stranded in an Italian snowstorm, living like peasants performing tasks we once thought impossible, clocking up 13,000 miles on the roads of Europe, kickstarting a career in illustration, and most important of all, bonding as a family. 

Now back in our home town of London, life will never be the same again.
