Family traveling is fun, whether you are just going for a weekend camping, or for a month or two in a few countries. But there are some families that take family traveling to new heights; sometimes for years on end without settling down. They call this vagabonding. To keep record of their travel experience, most of them have a blog site where they do a post every once in a while. I have compiled a small list of active traveling families. With each link I will give a short description of the family.

http://thenomadicfamily.com/ - The Klafs have been traveling for two years and have a goal of changing/reaching out to 10,000 lives around the world. See how many lives they have already changed by heading over there.

http://1dad1kid.com/ - Talon and Tigger have been traveling for three years now, and hope to have been in seven continents (yes, that includes Antarctica) by the end of 2014.

http://www.escapeartistes.com/ - Theodora and Zac took a year off in 2010 to travel the world, and ended up never coming back. Their blog is one of the most interesting of the ones that I collected.

I hope that these resources will be helpful for you in the future. Do you have another blogsite to add to this list?  Maybe you will be inspired by these families and start traveling yourself.  It’s not hard!
