A family world tour of discovery, encounters, cultures and adventures.
These are the worlds that best describe this beautiful journey that Elodie, Hugo and Leon are undertaking.
The idea is to open up to other cultures and other ways of life. The aim is to move away from a lifestyle too individualistic and materialistic and get closer to a simpler and healthier life. This trip will be an opportunity for the three of them to enjoy family life.
" During these three years, our son will start to build his personality and we will try to teach him to be tolerant by familiarizing him with other cultures. We also want our lifestyle to help our son become resourceful."
Departure planned for late January 2016!

A thirst for adventure...
For a long time Hugo and Elodie have had a thirst for travel, adventure and discovery, they are not on their first trip! They’ve toured Morocco, Tunisia, Scotland and the Dominican Republic ... Always in search of a contact with the diverse and natural beauty of nature.
They have been dreaming of a world tour for some years now, and it’s not the arrival of Leon that will stop them, quiet the opposite!
This baby globetrotter is already an experienced traveller for his age and impatient to leave!
Where are they off to?
Their route is not fixed, they will decide from day to day going where the wind takes them.
The aim is however to head off in the direction of Eastern Europe to reach Asia, and from there take a boat to America and crisscross the continent from North to South and East to West!
The vehicle
Our travellers have decided to travel by road in an Isuzu D-max topped with a living cell.
This means of transport offers them freedom of movement, while still having a roof over their heads. It’s economical; the initial investment in the vehicle can be partially recovered at the end of the trip. The remaining costs are almost exclusively fuel and food.
