Nathan

When we first set out on this journey, we didn’t imagine it would one day become something we could share in book form. But after two years of travelling full-time, house and pet sitting across the UK, and world educating our son Dylan, we realised our story could help other families feel less alone, less stuck, and more ready to create a life on their own terms. That’s how The Nomad Family Blueprint was born.

Cowden was a summer of joy and creation. Floss, the excitable pup, and Sooty, the gentle old lab, kept us company as days overflowed with swimming in the heated pool, rope swings by the river, camping in the forest tent, and evenings toasting marshmallows by the fire pit. Family and friends joined us for barbecues, games, and long-overdue reunions.

Our three weeks in Worthing were split between two homes, Nathan with Bruno the quirky Boston terrier, and Dylan and I with Joey the gentle lurcher. Bruno kept Nathan laughing with his snoring and endless quirks, while Joey eased into his lazy rhythm of morning walks and long naps. Dylan was reunited with friends from the park, joined weekly boxing sessions, and spent his days playing outdoors. It wasn’t easy balancing two houses.
