It started in a car ride across country. We were driving to New Mexico for my grandmother's funeral. As we pondered sweet memories of her, we discussed how important it was to live life fully because you don't know what can happen tomorrow. The thought dawned on us to make sure we give our children ample opportunity to explore the world around them. This long car ride was the starting point of our new future en devour. We knew traveling could be very expensive. So, we discussed how we could afford to go abroad on a budget. My husband happen to mentioned that he had been following a few families who had traveled to Thailand on a very tight income. Everyone who knows me, knows I don't like to sit on things. Throw an idea at me and I will run with it. So, when Tyson brought up the idea of Thailand, I knew he had an itch for something new. I was excited about the idea but to be totally honest, it scared me to think about leaving all of our belongings and the comfort of our home, to travel somewhere foreign. At the time I had very limited knowledge about southeast Asia, let alone that part of the world. After lots of research and contemplation, I thought why not?! It's only a couple years, right?! There are tons of family friendly activities, the cost of living is cheap, it has warm weather all year round, the food is delicious, there is a huge expat community and not to mention it is BEAUTIFUL! There are some cons like anywhere outside the US. We will have to do visa runs every couple months, the language barrier, and the cost to fly there is pretty pricey. We will make sure to post how we navigate through these issues. But, for now Thailand IT IS!!! Where would your top destinations be to move with your kids?
