In Jan 2016 we made our way on a one way flights to Kuala Lumpur where we would travel as a family for 9 months around south east Asia. This was our first time as a couple we had been on our own (always lived with family) and our older boys who were 4 and 6 at the time.

In this episode we dive into why we wanted to travel and how the idea came about. We wanted to give you some context before we dive deep into our travel adventure.
