Our world is pretty incredible isn’t it?

The internet has made everything possible in ways that still genuinely surprise us. And for our family it is making this whole adventure not just a dream, but something we are actively building toward.

Adam has worked remotely for over 13 years. Thirteen years of showing up for his clients and his team from wherever life has taken us. Mexico for two months. A school bus for 200 days. Road trips that had no real end date. A fancy closet in an Ohio hotel room that somehow had the best WiFi of the trip. Half the time his coworkers have no idea what time zone he is in or what background is going to pop up on the next Teams call. But here is the thing, he is always there during work hours. His clients are along for the ride. It has become half the fun.

And me? Well. All of this travel — all of these places and people and experiences — makes me a better travel advisor.

Why would you hire someone who sells travel from behind a desk when you could work with someone who is actively living it? I am in the destinations. I am navigating airports, trains, restaurants and hotels with my own three kids. Every experience I have is something I bring back to my clients. I feel most centered, most motivated and most inspired when I am traveling. This trip is not a break from my work, it is the heart of it.

And then there is the schedule we are planning for.

In Europe our work hours will be 2pm to 10pm. That means Adam and I will both get to spend every single morning and early afternoon fully present with our kids. Teaching them. Exploring with them. Having the special kind of unhurried time together that our current life in the US simply does not allow. When the kids need us most, we will be there. Then from 2 to 10 we work. We can break for dinner together. Put the kids to bed. And when our work day ends Adam and I will actually have time together too.

It sounds almost too good. But it is real and it is what we are working toward.

Every experience we have together will be an investment in our kids, in our marriage and in the people our children are becoming. We are not just traveling. We are choosing the life we actually want.

And we cannot wait.

Q: Can you really work remotely while traveling in Europe with kids? A: We are building toward exactly that. Adam has worked remotely for 13 years across multiple countries and time zones without his work ever suffering. The key is finding a rhythm that works for your family — for us that means mornings for adventure and afternoons for work.

Q: What are the best time zones for remote workers traveling in Europe? A: Europe runs 6-7 hours ahead of US Eastern time which means a 2pm to 10pm European work schedule aligns perfectly with a standard US business day. You get your mornings completely free and your evenings together as a family after work.

Q: How does being a travel advisor while traveling benefit your clients? A: Everything I experience becomes knowledge I bring back to my clients. I am not recommending destinations from behind a desk — I am navigating them with my own kids in real time. The restaurants, the logistics, the hidden gems and the honest realities are all things I experience firsthand so you do not have to figure it out alone.

Q: What does world schooling look like alongside remote work? A: For us it will mean mornings and early afternoons dedicated to learning through experience — museums, markets, historical sites, language immersion and real world problem solving. The kids will learn more before lunch than they would in a full school day and we will be right there with them for all of it.

Q: How do you plan to maintain work life balance while traveling as a family? A: Intentional scheduling is everything. When we are not working we will be fully present. When we are working the kids will have independent time. Having clear boundaries between work time and family time — even while traveling — is what we believe will make the whole thing sustainable and genuinely enjoyable for everyone.
