Hi! We are Heather, Bradey, Alexa and Chloe.
We are raising our kids to face their fears, to step outside of their comfort zones and to try new things. Family travel is the best way we know how to do this.
We want to inspire others to travel with an open mind and to see that it is completely possible to travel and fly with kids! Traveling is one of the best things we have ever done to strengthen our family, and to open up our minds about how big this world is. We have recently converted our own DIY camper van from a Mercedes sprinter and are now traveling and learning what van life is all about!
Thanks for following along :)
Thank you so much to everyone for the love and support that we have received over the last couple years!! You will never know how much it means to us!!
Right now Philippines is opening the tourist. Stay longer in the Philippines so that you will have more subscribers. Check out Mike and Nelly. Also Juicy vlog they both have 500k staying in Philippines.
Thank you for sharing your life with us. 🇵🇭💓💓💓
And look at you now - renovating the stone house in Italy and having the happiest kids ever! :)
I'm 63 and want to move overseas and travel. I don't want redo a barn or castle. I'm way past that time of life. Raised 6 children and have many awesome beautiful grandchildren. I'd really like to reinvent my life!!!
Your journey has been amazing to watch! I love watching but now I need to go live my dreams too!!!
the saddest part of life is getting used to routin life, you are really lucky
Just watched your video. I myself is having thoughts of quitting my job. Sell everything and travel and most likely will end up going back to my home country Philippines for good. Been working here in the states for 21years and I’m just tired and want to live my life to the fullest. I just subscribed and will be following your journey. Good luck!
The Philippines is such a beautiful place full of incredible people! Thank you so much for your support!
y'all are doing what many of us are so scared of doing so thank you so much for sharing your journey. I know you'll inspire many of us to achieve our goals and dreams and not let fear diminish them. wishing y'all the best in this journey. godspeed
Can't wait to watch all of it...
I love you're family...
And by the way you're not terrible parents, you're amazing ones, you might be taking some material stuff from your daughters but instead of that you're going to give them an extraordinary experience that not anyone can have.
I wish that I can do the same... Well maybe one day...
Thank you for inspiring us.
Thank you so much! Your support and encouragement means so much to us!
I’m watching this video 1 year later and look how far you have come !!! You took a leap of faith and it is paying off ❤
Y’all are so wise ( even if you don’t always feel it ) but that is all you have is “The moment “ you are living Courageously…. You are giving your girls far more then toys will bring them… you are giving the best gift by giving them Y’all….BRILLIANT!!!
It was a bold decision to give up the life you have in the US but what is important is you follow your heart’s desire. I wish your family all the best in your endeavour and may God protect and bless your family always. Hope to see you back soon in Siargao and meet up with 8 miles from home in the near future. Your Filipino subscribers will be extremely happy to see your family back in the Philippines. Mabuhay!!!🇵🇭❤️🎊🎉🎊🎉
This just showed up in my recommended, so I'm seeing it for the first time. Although I've been following your stone home in Italy, I will now have to go back and start from here and watch everything. Ok, I'll go back to the very beginning and watch them all! So looking forward to watching you and your family on your journey!
That's tough. Always pursue your dreams.
I somehow had the same situation when I quit my job and I never looked back.
It was such a relief! My former boss was an a$$hol3.
We have always had great working experiences but this has always been a dream of our and we are so excited to finally be stepping out into it!
You can do it Guys. Hope to see you here in the Philippines
Thank you so much! We can’t wait to get back!!
I really enjoyed watching you make the decision to go for it! I've been following you for a year but had no idea how the journey began.
And what an amazing adventure you're living. 💕🇨🇦
When we decided to go fulltime, we had no regrets. Good luck to all of you!
Thank you so much!
You are AWESOME parents💗
Love this message and experience you guys shared.
Love what you do. I enjoy to see the world through you eyes.
I love your videos. So interesting to see your family’s take on life. Such great experiences for all of you.
I thoroughly enjoy watching you all experience life.
Love to hear that. Enjoy ur journey. I hope one day u can tell us how to do that. With money and everything
This is the right attitude. I subscribed to your channel couple days ago and watched some of your videos already. They are great by the way. This video is a wonderful way of explaining the reasons behind and you are so right with them all. I see (and I believe that I can feel) your genuine desire to explore other cultures while travelling the world. I have the same desires and have done myself not a bad amount of travelling. What you are giving to those two little and wonderful girls of yours is priceless. You are teaching them to be humane and humble and that deserves many respect. I am in for good and I will go on watching your story from the beginning without missing any previous video of yours. I am sure you will deserve a like and some commenting on most of them, if not all. Take care and enjoy each second of your travels.
I am new to your channel but I am encouraged by your story, vulnerability, faith to step out in life and live what is in your heart. Blessings to your family forever
New to the channel, and I’m wondering more about not so much the emotional aspect of moving out of the country, but specifics like how were you able to retire in your 30’s or 40’s? Why did you choose Italy over other countries? And especially the finances behind it. I’m assuming you’re millionaire’s in order to retire so young? Life is very expensive nowadays, so you don’t have to have things in order to struggle nowadays. Thank you for your channel. God bless.
Y'all did what I always dreamed of.. I know it was not easy decision and I admire your courage.
Love watching your travel vlogs! I can’t wait till you start traveling again!
Thank you!! We are so excited as well!!
You got this!!! Can’t wait to see your next adventures
Thank you!! We appreciate it!!
I'm so excited for your family. We are planning a similar journey of "slow traveling" the world. We did a test run in 2018/2019 with our family of 3 starting with a trip to Da Nang, Vietnam. We had similar emotions weighing between freedom vs security but we're choosing the former. Family members tried guilting us with questions on what kind of life we were giving our daughter but in the end, we questioned what kind of life we were preparing her for with her current upbringing. We wanted her to know there are options besides growing up with traditional schooling to go off to college with student loans so she could get a 50/60 hour a week job to pay off debts. I think roadschooling her and the time we spent together as a family with our trip to Vietnam was priceless and can't wait until we can sell the last of our things and head off. Best wishes to you all and happy travels!
Thank you so much! It’s so great to hear from another traveling family! It is not always easy for our friends and family to understand what we are doing but we have already seen the benefits of taking our girls around the world!! Best of luck to you and your family!!
Couple goals! GOD Blessed your life.
Youre videos are the ones i love most
It’s scary not to have a stable means of finance but I really think that traveling open up the humanity within each person. You two are courageous. And I think opening the world for your kids will give them much experience that half of their age will never get in their lifetime. Every person’s dream is to travel and you’re living it. You’re family is inspiring. Keep up.
Thank you so much!! It is scary but we do believe that we will all be better for it! We have already seen how good traveling is for our girls so we know that it will be worth the sacrifice!
Cool video! Very inspiring! We have some fun things to do here in Tucson, Arizona where I live, but I am really excited to travel more after the full quarantine is over. Great channel! I’m following!
Thanks so much! We do hope to see some of Arizona in the van!
Knowing where you guys are today, I just loved watching this video. Good on you for being so brave. You are wonderful parents. I love watching your Italy home videos. Love from Noni in Australia 🇦🇺
Ah so awesome! I need to go back and watch this now ❤️
Thank you so much for the encouragement!
I like your site and follow your adventures, ya'll are good honest loving people.. keep on truckin' on
You are an amazing and inspiring family!
Thank you so much! That is so sweet!
Keep on going, Raising Voyagers. You're wholesomeness and genuineness shines through and you'll be just fine.
Thank you so much! That really means so much to us!
I have subscribed and I hope you live your dreams, keep going forward
You guys popped up as a suggestion to watch. Wow brave and must say I am so envious. I always wanted to travel and I did a bit but not enough. When I saw our yellow tram I knew where you were in Budapest where I was growing up. I have watched a few of your videoes and I am planning to watch all and follow you all the way. Good luck with everything. Through you I can do all the things I have missed out. 😊
I support and understand your decision.
I have been watching and enjoying your videos! Then I found this video of how you chose to start your journey. This is so cool. You guys are the best parents! To be able to think outside of the box and give your family the experience of a lifetime!! All I can say is FANTASTIC!! This is the time you will not regret it.
Well I mean the stone house has been a rather challenging undertaking 😆. All that you have learned as a family is worth it. Right?
Inspired by your courage. Love your videos.
Great to see you at the start of your adventures,I just look watching the remaking of the stone house.
Most inspiring, pursue your dreams
Such an adorable family🥰 Stay safe!
Thank you so much 😍
I love u so much guys keep going✌️❤️
Thank you so much! We appreciate that!!
Oh my! I guess we can only wish your lovely family all the very best. Surely, despite the uncertainties of the pandemic, all possibilities and/or options have been weighed. Stay safe and good luck. 😷

Salute to this family!! Salute....salute....salute. to them hands down.
Thank you :-)
Keep safe guys.. just a set back but im sure being with your kids is a reward alrdy.. soon youll reap what youll sow thru how great your kids will be.❤fr🇵🇭
Thank you so much! Really appreciate your kind words and support!
You are right the kids grow so fast ad you never know what the future will bring. Enjoy your time together, you will never regret those times! Best of luck! I notice a glimpse your girls on a front bunk bed in the cab area, did you make that? Can you tell me more about it?
Thank you!
You're creating amazing family memories for your kids. Most families can't provide that for obvious reasons. Even very rich people have to be working at home and can't provide something like that.
Brad and Heather you made what we alls dreamed before sleep every day in our life....♥
Yeah I also noticed that your kids is they’re happy to go to travel around the world and most specially , I remembered when you’re in the Philippines 🇵🇭 and asking your kids do you guys like the Philippines 🇵🇭? And the girls answered it Yes I liked the Philippines 🇵🇭. Is not because I’m a Filipina, but I can see and feel their happiness and their smiling faces 😍🇵🇭😍 and I was flattered with their answered 😘😘😘😘👍👍👍
They do love traveling, experiencing new cultures, and meeting other kids around the world!
No , you cannot have grown up conversations with them now, but they will get a great education,
Yey, we want you here in the Philippines.
We want to be there!! We are so excited to know we will be back soon!
Chase your dream ❤️💕❤️and also if possible little house tour before you leave pleaseeee also can be a good memories for girls when they look back....
That’s such a great idea! Thank you!
the legend is born
You guys are providing your girls with much more that other US kids. I took my son on a cruise, and and we have traveled in a van, just a regular minivans. It was so much fun and he’s caught my travel bug. I’ve been to Germany, by the way I drank the hot win, but they said it had fruit and other white liquors in it. I’ve been to a lot of the islands. I took my son with me and a few friends on a cruise. He also loved the kids club. I love to cruise. I’ve gone on 5 cruises. I get what you’re saying. I think we get stuck in the life that everyone thinks they need. I like to think outside the box. I’m so glad you did this. I know it’s emotional, and thanks for not hugging your wife when she was crying. I don’t know about her, but even though it’s a nice thing to do, I would cry more because your showing simpathy. I could handle a hug when my mom died. It just breaks me up. You are good parents, I can tell from watching you with your kids. Keep doing you, and ignore any negative haters. I found you, like I said in another message, while watching the. Newbies, and I’m so glad I found you. I have a love for travel and seeing you guys do that for time inspires me. Thank you, thank you.
So lucky to find each other.
so sweet of you, thanks!
Many of us made some decision which made us lose or gained something. I guess not losing sight at what is important like happiness, good values and learning to have less and be easily satisfied at what you have is the main goal in life. If you get more in the process then great.
Although it will be scary, tough and not-fun at times, this decision has altered your kids life for the better. They will grow up with a view/understanding of the world that you can’t place a price on and this view won’t be based of consumerism/materialism/lack of empathy and understanding for humanity. Good luck!
Yes!! This is our heart for our kids! We also hope to inspire others to travel and see the world in a new way!
Watching here from Philippines...i miss your vlogs and your kids.
We are so excited to head back to the Philippines! It’s one of our favorite places in the world!!
Enjoy your life.
Thank you
When the day comes and u hit Germany let us know. We would love to meet. As we are also living the RV-life since april'21. And by then we should have moved into our new self build out overlander. Seeya
Having the videos will be so wonderful when youre old because as muchmas you want, you forget! Im 71 and while memories come they are random, so good for you! My question is where are your parents and how do they fe3l about not being near y
you are right TIME...I would add ROUTINE is a slow death = MONOTONY.
When I quit my job, it was so liberating.
We were made to survive and I automatically got creative on how to use my talents to make an income on my own terms.
A comeback to Morocco would be great now i think
You took the toys, the van they loved, the "security" of a house and gave them a much broader horizon, expended their dreams and taught them to be free and kind.
I really enjoy your videos,you are a such lovely family...you should visit Morocco again with your van,because there are alot of things to visit there..if you a have a plan to visit francfort, i be glad to meet your lovely family..enjoy your travel and be careful..my big kisses to the your lovely girls,they are so adorable..
We absolutely love Morocco and can’t wait to explore more of it!! So much more to see!
@@RaisingVoyagers yes that true,i advice you to travel with your van from tangier till dakhla, there are alot of mountains, nature and desert, my be will meet up there one day there...enjoy your trip,be save and don't forget to take a weapon with you,to protect your family..much love from Frankfurt ❤
Hope to see you here in morocco
We hope to make it there soon!
I pray for God's guidance and protection for the family and to where God's lead you. I will still following your journey and that someday, whatever you wished and pray for will come through and makes you successful in whatever your goals that you wanted to achieve.
Thank you so much for those kind words, your prayers and support means so much to us!!
That's quite hard decision but if you have that urge to travel again full time and find happiness in it, i think its ok, hey, I'm from the Philippines 🇵🇭 and I recognised those many shots from my country, hope you find comfort and happiness travelling around the world, anyway as always we welcome your family here in the Philippines. Please stay safe always , God bless you!
Thank you so much for your support! It was a very difficult and long decision. :)
Best parents I've encountered in 54 years. I've raised 4 kids alone. The most important thing u can teach them aside from independence... is that greed is the root of all evil. Teaching them the importance of the irreplaceable things in life is priceless. My kids learned it simply through poverty. By being poor we learned the difference between irreplaceable, replaceable, and how true luxury is found in our relationships. Kudos to your family! Life is too short for wasting it on things that really just does not matter. The only thing that matters is happiness which is something money or security cannot provide.
Hi, Voyagers! I am trying to watch all of your videos, but am having a hard time putting them in order. I was having a panic attack, and was in the car trying to go to my daughter's for the memorial day weekend.When I sat down in the car, it started. I kept getting worse, so finally, I said, Bruce. Help me inside, please.
Sorry, my last posted before I was done. LONG STORY SHORT, yall brought me out of the panic attack. I love you guyssm!
We welcome you back to Philippines
We’re opening up here soon
Just focus what you love you’re doing.
IT’S MORE FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭
It is pleasurable to watch but I could never do it especially with children!
Check "eigth miles from home".They are stationed in the island of Siargao they have they're 4 yr old kid Story.Great experience.🤣😂
We have heard about them from a few others and have watched some of their vlogs! It makes us so ready to be back!
It could be a dumb question but I am curious. Like how you get financial back up to do so drastic change in life.
Follow your heart what you deserved to make it feel you better 👍👍👍😍😍😍 wishing you all the best of luck
Thank you so much!!
💗💗💗💗
Yes, come visit the Philippines 🇵🇭 again. You haven’t properly explore Manila and many more. Check the Juicy Vlog and maybe you’d consider this your bass. (hint hint)
God bless you, guys!
Do you like the Philippines?i hope you stay longer.Filipinos will love you there especially with your kids.There you will have more subscribers and somehow will help you as you go along."making it happen" from Austria and "juicy vlog" from UK bought condos in Manila.The best of luck.May God bless you.😂🤣
Thank you! Yes we love the Philippines and hope to spend a good amount of time there soon!!
What happens when the money runs out?Beautiful family,
Come and try live for a year in the Philippines.. 500-700usd/mth should be enough for a decent living.
We are very anxious to get back and explore more of the Philippines! So much to explore and love your country so much :-) can’t wait for borders to open up again!
You can make the Philippines your temporary home base while traveling the neighboring country
That would be amazing. Siargao especially is a place that we would consider paradise to setup as our home base. Can’t wait to get back after things open up!
