How does friendship happen on the Road

People who have not been nomads can easily assume that we cannot have deep friendships if we live on the road. I always find it quite strange when I am confronted with this assumption because it is the depth of relationship that I miss most when we go OFF the road. When we are not […]

Washing Clothes on the Road

Oh, I have tried it all. At one time I had a large tub with a lid on it full of laundry and soapy water sloshing back and forth to the movement of the truck while we drove. Problem was we had to make many more toilet stops with this method. You see I don’t […]

How do we manage with young kids?

Traveling around the world is great but its even better if you can bring your kids along. A lot of people, like Mona who just sent me an email, see it as too much of a challenge to travel with young kids. Now granted our kids are no longer young. Our youngest is 11 but […]

Roadschooling. We know it works but can we prove it?

“Abigail went to Transylvania, Romania to research the prevalence of bats and the myth of Vlad the Impaler and Count Dracula.” Roadschooling is the only way we can travel and educate our kids at the same time.

Big REVAMP weekend

Nothing to do with the bats we saw in Transylvania but rather with the fact that this weekend Hannah (who is now 15) is working with me (Andrew) to REVAMP the Jonesberries blog. We plan to get rid of the 3 year old theme and install a new one that is more responsive to mobile […]

Up in an apple tree

I don’t want to climb up the apple tree. I am TOO OLD! I am older than the others. I am also more aware of my mortality. I don’t want to think about how long my bones would take to heal at my age. OK, So maybe I am not THAT OLD. But I am […]
