First as a couple hanging out in dodgy hostels and hanging off the back of tuk-tuks in Thailand, and now as a family with two little travelers leading the charge. All those years have left an imprint: Home is a mosaic; a collection of places and people, tastes and sounds. Continue reading Where’s Home for a Barefoot Nomad?
