I know it is just the beginning of November, but it seems like November should be winter…I was told look out for February. The thing is, one day it is freezing here (yes relatively speaking) and the next day it is in the 70’s. Then, last monday it was in the low 30’s yesterday it rained, but the day before it was 73. So, I dont quite understand the weather. All I do know is winter is approaching. Last Monday it snowed in the mountains and flurried here.
This picture was taken as the Snow falls on a quiet mountain trail – Visitors hike Mount Seorak’s Gwongeumsung trail after a heavy snowfall blanketed much of the Gangwon region on Monday. Mount Seorak is in the North Eastern corner of the country. I have been told one of the most beautiful spots to climb. It is too far for us for a weekend get away, so we will have to wait until we have at least a 3 day break to make it up there.
Intentionally and incrementally. Most families who live this way did not leap from conventional to adventurous overnight. They built remote work capacity, paid down debt, tested longer trips, and had honest conversations about what they want from their lives.
Different for every family. For some it is long-term travel. For others it is weekend adventures close to home. What connects them is intentionality about how time is spent and a preference for experiences over accumulation.
By finding stability within the adventure rather than treating them as opposites. Routines, rituals, and family rhythms travel with you. Kids need consistency in relationships more than consistency in geography.
That people are fundamentally similar across cultures. That comfort zone is a smaller circle than it feels from inside. That the things worth having in life require effort and discomfort. And that time together doing hard interesting things is the most reliable source of family closeness.
By getting clear on why you made the choices you made and returning to that clarity when outside noise gets loud. Most families living unconventionally describe an initial period of explaining themselves that gradually gives way to just living the life.
