Our Family On The Road

Follow the Eddy Family as we embark on the our journey to a life traveling in simplicity. We sold our stuff, bought a conversion van, and are making our way to Central America. We believe there is more to life then the rat race, and we are taking a leap of faith, trying to find a balance between work and experiencing the world. Our three children will be shaped by many cultures and as we walk next to them on this path we will be changed too.

Living Out of, Not In

This question keeps coming up, "How are you all going to live in that small of a van?" The answer is, we're not! Think of the van as a place to sleep and store our stuff, but on wheels. Kind of a tent on wheels, that we camp with like a tent but cooler and wont leak or blow away. We'll have power, music, video, a/c and drinking water (R/O system) all fixed into the van. We understand it will be a sort of roughing it experience, that may wear on us over time. The idea is to go as long as we are enjoying it, and return when we are ready. The fact that the van is small is a good thing from my point of view, it will keep us from wanting to hang-out in it, forcing us to see the sights and meet people in a culture. Remember this, if the 185 miles of tropical beaches of Belize was your backyard for a month, would you just hang-out in the van? -Jason
