The Story Behind Our First Book, and What’s Coming Next

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.
This book is our family’s journey laid open, the turning points, the fears, the leaps, and the quiet moments that changed everything. We share how we stepped away from routine, withdrew Dylan from a school system that wasn’t serving him, and chose to live differently. It’s part story, part guide, and fully honest about the ups and downs of leaving the familiar behind.
To make it even easier for families to begin, we also created a free companion guide: First Steps to Living Free of the System. This guide distils the first lessons we learned, how to start loosening the grip of “normal,” what mindset shifts matter most, and simple, practical actions you can take right now. It’s short, actionable, and our gift to you.

And we’re not stopping there.
Our second book, The Unschooling Framework, is almost ready to meet the world. This one is close to our hearts because it’s all about learning differently, building an education around curiosity, freedom, and family life. It’s designed to give parents the confidence and structure to follow their child’s interests while still covering what matters. Like the Blueprint, it’s practical but deeply personal, showing you how we made unschooling work on the road.
If you’ve ever felt pulled toward a life less ordinary, travelling more, teaching your children in your own way, or simply breaking free from a system that doesn’t fit, these books and guides are for you.
