A family of four, going on a one-year sabbatical

We are Floris, Alejandra, Max and Lucas, and in July of 2026, we are packing our bags, saying goodbye to the normal and embarking on a one-year dream trip around the world!

From snorkeling in Bonaire, and skiing in Argentina, to a safari in Namibia, street food in Malaysia, and hiking in New Zealand โ€“ we have lined up the adventure of a lifetime.

If you’re dreaming about going on a family sabbatical yourself, you’re in the right place. We’re documenting everything, hopefully our experience can help you get started on yours!
