A couple sold their house and traveled around the world with their children, visiting 23 countries in 256 days?

A couple working as a real estate agency in Kaohsiung took a break from work last September to travel around the world as backpackers with their three young sons. They spent 256 days traveling to 23 regions on four continents. They believe that although traveling with three children is not easy, they will not stop because of the difficulties and hope that their children can learn and have fun while traveling.

According to Taiwanese media reports, in order to let their children experience the world, a couple surnamed Lai in Kaohsiung took a leave of absence from their jobs in September last year, sold two apartments in Kaohsiung, moved back to their parents' home, and took the NT$1.5 million (NT$, The same below) paid for travel expenses. I took my 1-, 3-, and 5-year-old sons around the four continents of Europe, the United States, Asia, and Africa, visiting 23 regions, and only returned to Taiwan in May this year.

The couple surnamed Lai plan their travels very casually. They don’t decide where to go next until they arrive at the previous stop. They usually stay in one place for 4-10 days, with South India staying the longest, up to 2 months. . Mrs. Lai said that she only had 500 US dollars with her during the trip, which was not enough to withdraw. She would try her best to find cheap air tickets and accommodation, deducting 200,000 yuan for air tickets, and spent an average of 4,200 yuan a day, totaling 1.3 million yuan for the entire trip.

They saw all the beautiful scenery during their trip, but also encountered many near misses, such as being cheated out of money by a coachman in Vietnam, being made trouble by U.S. Customs and missing the bus, so they had to stay overnight at the bus station; What was horrifying was that while walking on the border between Egypt and Israel, soldiers pointed guns at me and threatened me.

The family will also encounter injuries and accidents during the trip. The most troublesome thing for Mrs. Lai with three children is that she has to adapt to the children's schedule. They can't go for too long, and there are no more than two attractions in one day. But the eldest son thinks I like to go wherever I go with my parents. Mrs. Lai also said that "home is where parents are" and she educates her children through travel, allowing them to learn life knowledge while having fun.

This couple is a role model for all parents. Although they say they should do what they can, sometimes in life, you need to be crazy.
