Alyson Long is the owner of the World Travel Family travel blog, a website she created while traveling full time to some extraordinary destinations with her husband and two children.

Whether that sounds like a daydream or a nightmare, it's fascinating to know that there are people out there in the world, people with kids no less, who have chosen to orient their entire lifestyle around travel.
